Hello everybody. So to give some back story right now I have been playing guild wars 2 since day one. I have loved the lore of the game and just how the stories are told. I have always had a bit of fondness for writing but I’ve never seen myself as any good (the harshest critic is yourself. i must hit myself with a nailbat for sure). A while ago ANET announced heart of thorns and that made me start to think. Seeing as there are so many dragons still out and about which one would we go after next if mordremoth is slain in HoT? So I started to brain storm a lot of ideas and came up with a very short idea of what a possible second expansion for guild wars 2 would be.

A lot of people I tell this to in game seem to love the idea but then I posted it to reddit and lets just say it wasn’t a good experience. I’m sadly not expecting to good of a outcome with posting it here but please do let me know what you think about it in the comment or in game later on. Thank you for at least giving me this chance to tell it.

We have taken out Zaihtan and now Mordremoth (if he is the finale of HoT). For this to work Logan Thrackery needs to still be alive and so does Kasmeer, so please don’t kill me too quickly and give this a chance!

With the threat of two dragons gone the risen have slowed and the sylvari are slowly shaking their ties with their dead master. Sadly we are starting to see more aggression from the elder dragon Kralkatorrik. He has claimed a bit more of the charr homelands though the fire legion is struggling to hold their ground. The Pact has been reformed and rested since their initial
assault on Mordremoth in the maguuma jungle but the threat still lingers from the other. destiny’s edge and the heros group ( I’ll just say DE2.0 that is Brahm, Rox, Kasmeer, Marjory, possible Cannach and the player) travel to the crystal desert to learn what they can from destiny’s edges failed fight against Kralkatorik the first time and of glints death.

While we are in the desert we start to hear strange sounds. callings, wonderings from voices not there and a mirage on the horizon that resembles old pictures of Augury Rock. As we approach we are split up as Rytlock finds his way into the main chamber only to hear the voices " I sense an old magic around here that I haven’t felt in many decades." Another voice chims “It would seem that the descendents of ascalon have returned for our favor” a third, two female voices taking turns talking “Impossible ascalon was destroyed years ago. It would seem descendant of their conquerors have returned.” Then an Avatar of Balthazar emerges from the darkness " It would seem the Charr wish to desecrate another holy ground of the human!" Rytlock explains that the past is the past slowly earning the trust of the figure.
The then sense Cannach and ask why a dragon spawn is allowed to even walk amongst them where cannach explains his freedom from mordremoth.

Then the other avatars walk out to explain what is going on. The reason the six gods have left se the sthe humans alone is cauix gods have been severely weakened due to the dragons consumption of magic. They cannot hold their might like they used to and it happens from each of their awakenings. The gods have been reverted to just their avatars. Though still formidable they could not possible face the dragons themselves. While DE and DE 2.0 talk with the gods to figure out the history of the dragons and to be congratulated for killing two a third rears his head again.

Part 2:

So now we get into more current lore with the amulet that shows who the current heir to the throne is. The picture has gone dark and fuzzy. Kralkatorik looks towards divinities reach. As he flies he breaths again onto the land creating yet another Brand. He slowly flies passing through Iron Marchs and the mountains dividing Fireheart Rise from Diessea Plateau. Frostgorge Sound from both the Wayfarer Foothills and Snowden Drifts. He cuts through the middle of the
Harathi Hinterlands and makes an assault on Divinity’s Reach. Queen Jenna is trapped in the castle and begins to hear the dragons call. She once saw into the mind of this
dragon and now it is finally calling back. Slowly she is consumed by the dragons wishes and turns to Kralkatorik. Though through her abilities as mesmer she is able to deceive
most of the populace of DR to thinking they fended off the dragon. Countess Anise is one of the few that knows her bluff and she is ordered killed. Before she is attacked she sends word to
Logan about what happened as he is torn to rush back or stay with the rest. He ultimately stays because he knows that figuring out how to beat kral is the best option.

On the return home to DR they find a bloodied figure laying on the side of the road only to find it to be Countess Anise. She turns to logan and tells him that they must
slay Queen Jenna and free DR of its new prison. As you approach DR Scarlet (this is Livia for those who have read Sea of Sorrows and played GW1) appears and tells them that the queen is heavily guarded and there is a resistance group ready to help. We then stage a recapture of DR from the branded foes and rush to fight Jenna.

In the fight with jenna as she is about to die (ala scarlet on the breachmaker. and this one is sylvari scarlet) Logan rushes to her side. she utters one word before Logan can deal the final blow. Breaking him both mentally and almost physically as she attacks back once more. The word uttered was “Janthir”. After making sure DR is safe for the human populace again we turn our sights to the Janthir Bay knowing that Kralkatorik is now making that home. We ready the pact and set out to confront the elder dragon of crystal.

Just to sweeten this up a little more. After talking with the six gods they speculate that the dragon is pulling from them all. You are told of a portal has opened deeper in the Crystal Desert and that minions from the underworld are slowly coming from the gate. Dhuum has slowly been gathering his strength back but has had a much harder time since the dragons are even feeding off of him. the avatar of grenth realizes that left uncheck dhuum can awaken and start wreaking havoc and that would jsut add to the problems. this would open up an underworld type dungeon for people to take part of again.

so yeah.. those are my thoughts. Thank you for reading if you did. Do have fun with your adventures to come in Tryia.
