Guild Wars 2

I’m not coming up with this and claiming it as my own. Others have already made the initial notice of 3 alliances and 3 orders, but I want to take this to the next step that I haven’t seen.

Three alliances: Molten Alliance, Aetherblades and Toxic Alliance. The Molten Alliance is mostly muscle, so the Vigil. The Aetherblades are crafty, so the Whispers. The Toxic Alliance is scholarly, so the Priory. All led by a single Sylvari no one likes, so Trehern. Thus we have the Anti-Pact.

The question becomes what is the purpose of the Anti-Pact. The Pact was formed to kill dragons. Is the Anti-Pact intended to raise them up?

" All led by a single Sylvari no one likes, so Trehern"

I lol’d.
+1 for that bit.

Molten Alliance being muscle..I see that, even though the other groups have plenty of it too (The Aetherblades seem to have even more).

Aetherblades are crafty? Besides their secret bases, even Whispers is better at the whole being secretive thing…although the Arcane Eye has them both beat in sneakiness.

How is the Toxic Alliance scholarly exactly? All they did was take their general nastiness and mix it together.

Still, this “Anti-Pact” thing is interesting. She’s taken most of the bad guy factions in the world and merged them together somehow. The only question left is why.

Presumably, this might have something to do with her talking on about how the forces that make this world work can be turned against each other. If she isn’t just crazy.

The Toxic Alliance seems more Order of the Whispers than the Aetherblades(who I see as the counterpart of the Priory)

Mickey Frogeater.1470:

With the whole mesmer veil around the tower, I have to agree on that. Same with the Aetherblades, since they use magitech as their emphasis, like the Priory’s emphasis on knowledge and gadgetry to best enemies.

The aetherblades had the most elaborate espionage based attack as well as a hidden base. Yes, they got found out, but that’s because the bad guys are never as good as the good guys.

As for the scholarly aspects of the Toxic Alliance, all you need to do is talk to the Priory people around Marjory to understand that the Krait are all about mysticism, history, mathematics, and the things that the Priory above all other orders would respect.
