nightmare court/scarlet or not hearing that it contains nightmare court from an unofficial source, and that the official site says nothing about it?

on a side note what is the krait’s relationship with leviathans? concept art

Definitely nightmare court. Look at the vines/roots coming from the tower.

I’m fine with Nightmare Court, even I’m kinda interested in them and if they are really Jungle dragon’s minions, also I hope that if Scarlet is involved one way or another, she will die.

no it does not, the lore of this content extends from the krait worship of there abyssal prophets supposed return to tyria to bring about extinction of all land races http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Krait "Religion is at the heart of krait society, and in turn, the obelisks are at the heart of krait religion. The obelisks are rare, eerily smooth stones made from a unique material found on the ocean floor. According to the Oratuss, the priesthood of the krait, the obelisks mark the sites of the “ascension” of ancient krait prophets to some higher realm, but land-based scholars speculate that they are simply ancient krait monuments whose purpose have been long-forgotten due to the oral nature of the krait’s religious texts.

Krait doctrine fortells the return of the obelisks’ prophets, bringing with them massive armies to flood the surface of the world and destroy other species. It is to these prophets that the krait sacrifice their slaves, believing that they will serve the prophets as they expand their otherworldly armies. The krait regularly use magical and mathematical means to attempt to predict the time of the prophets’ return, but have yet to be successful.

Like their obelisks, all krait are steadfast and immobile in their beliefs. Their legends say those on land were driven out of the sea by the prophets and forbidden to return. This regarded with a degree of scepticism by other races but the krait refuse to listen such things and are happy to kill to ensure that the krait religion is not defamed. All krait are willing to die for the continuity of their species and for the cause of their prophets.

The religion of the krait is what allows the Oratuss to control the entire race. Religious “texts” followed by the krait are passed down verbally through these priests and priestesses. The vast length of the texts allows the priests, who have dedicated their lives to the texts, to make subtle changes to the wording and manipulate the interpretation of their legends to serve their purposes and support their power."

It is possible that the krait’s prophets are the leviathan. “It is a weapon” maybe because it can summon leviathans.

yeah saw the root things coming out the side and how it looks a lot more structurally sound than anything else we see the krait build. Will this be something along the lines of a dark tree(opposite of the pale tree) it says on the official release page “A toxic seed has been sown. Guarded by magic, fed with evil, it grows.” sounds like it could be a tree? also very disappointed that they are having the krait work with other groups, if it is truly the case /sigh.

After reading what you said and then re-watching the trailer, and then noticing all the plant related puns that they practically berate us with, i think its a dark tree too.
the weapons the krait are using in the trailer look a bit planty, thorny/spiney, and the profile of the tower itself is a bit planty as well, its a wide base, that becomes narrow, and then opens up into a puffball somewhat, definitely seems tree-like.

It could act as a summoning conduit of sorts for Mord. We know it is in the process of waking up, perhaps it has to “grow” to fully awaken?

Even though everyone who’s in his right mind eagerly awaits the story to get back to the actual topic, the awakening of the elder dragons, it’s most likely not gonna happen in this patch or even this year.

When an elder dragon awakens you will know. There are suppose to be fortell their coming. Earthquakes, volcanos, blizzards and tidal waves.
