Guild Wars 2

Come Join the Sinister Swarm for our Cosplay Event!

So get out your thinking caps and start digging through your wardrobe because the Sinister Swarm Cosplay Parade is here again!

On Thursday April 28th,2016 we will be holding a cosplay parade and costume event in Lion’s Arch at 6pm PST. Why on a Thursday you ask? It’s because it is a special day for all us nerds out there…..SUPERHERO DAY!

To celebrate this Geekiest of Nerd days we will be theming our cosplay event after Superheroes. Each contestant can enter one female and one male Superhero into the contest. These Superheroes can be from anything so long as they are a Superhero so DC, Marvel, Blackhorse, Image Comics and much more, but just remember that if you pick a lesser known superhero to let the judges know and have a picture ready for them. Note that both Comic and movie versions are acceptable for these entries.

To round off the contest we will have a final category which is entitled The New Big Bad of Tyria. Because if we didn’t have those Supervillains and baddies what would the heroes have to do ? This part of the contest is for you to create an Original Character with their own looks and back story both will be presented to the judges. Be creative.
As well as the cosplay contest we will be marching around Lion’s Arch to start off the fun and for those that just want to hang out we will have Boxes o’fun, Bobble head stations and water balloon fights and much more for us to all have a great time and enjoy this wonderful Event.

There will be prizes give out at the end of the night and closer to the event we will announce some of the awesome prizes that can be won.
Have a SUPER day!

I’m really excited for this event—it’s going to be so much fun! Swarmers and non-Swarmers alike are welcome to join us

Elijah’s next Villian story

I had lived once before, long ago before holebrek was created. I was one of the warriors who fought jormag when he rose. Though the songs are sung of Asgeir the so called dragonrender there were many that fought and lost their lives so he could claim his place in our history while those like myself fall to the mists our names forgotten and our songs unsung. I awoke from the mists when it was broken through. The grey was penetrated by a firey blaze fall owed by a beast known as charr that I had only heard of in tales. I fallowed this creature until he escaped the mists, pulling me from the mists as life was once again breathed into me and I could once again feel my flesh.

I found myself in the jungles along with strange creatures that were warped and twisted. Controlled by a dragon much like jormag. I fought against them and watched as a group of warriors slew the dragon and felt the power ripple across the earth, making my very soul shutter. I traveled for many months returning to the lands of my home to find them frozen and riddled with the sons of svanier and ice minions of jormag. I traveled south to encounter his strongest minion. Surprised by his attack and injured his claw had sliced into me and I had thought I would return to the mists my life scattered to the frozen fields and my story untold but then I heard it. The power and strength of his call. The serpent hissing into my ear and wrapping itself upon my very soul. I awoke my eye returned to me but not without consequence. My eye was now a glacial blue and the mark of jormag lay upon my face carving over my cheek and across my eye. But yet I did not fear it as I found in my hand a wonderus weapon. His voice slithered inside my head caressing me as it told me what I was. Each day that passed his power grew within me the svanier his so called followers attempted to kill me seeing as all woman turned by the ice brood before had been slain by his followers. Their strongest among them attacked me while I slept but his whisper awoke me and I took up my weapon gifted to me carved from the icy flesh of his claw slew each son that attacked me. Now the sons follow my orders without hesitation as we begin to execute his plan. The scattered remains of jormag’s followers now have a leader. We will fulfill his desires, his wishes and shall spread his name to the non believers. We shall lay siege to holebrek and retrieve the ill gotten prize of Asgier the coward. I shall be his voice, Their general, the great hunter, for I am Valdir the frost fang.

What I had in mind for my Storm was the modern short-haired, leather-clad lady of sparking kitten-ery. As pointed out to me, I had envisioned the movie version of our favorite weather-girl.

The Beginning of the Storyteller
Ladies and Gentlemen, lend me your ears. For soon after I am done, you will be in tears. Not out of sadness, but out of fear. Be sure that you know to protect those you hold dear. Storyteller is my name which isn’t quite the same, of the teller of tales you all love it is more of sort of. I don’t tell of stories of valor and hope from above, but of doom and sorrow that is of a mourning dove. My work is already well acquired, and her name is Scarlet Briar. A easy woman as prey, for we were the same. Wanted to make a future’s mark, but didn’t know where to start. I knew a secret that sweet Wynne knew but didn’t know that that it was saw by two. Entered Ceara’s dream and plagued her I did. For in my stead would do make sins. Whispered in the shadows through thoughts she believed were her own, just like the users of the bloodstone. She danced to my tune but my plan ended too soon. I hate those heroes big and strong, but I guess it was time for Scarlet to begone. Hiding is over, my time has come. You shall now dance to the beat of my drum. All of Tyria shall play with me or they shall end in ashes before the next chapter of their lives had begun. I guess my time is over. I hope I wasn’t bore, but I shall leave you two questions that I want want you to learn. Who shall you be in my story of fate? Shall you live to see all of my stories, or is it already too late? evil laugh

Quaggan had great fun at event but quaggan sad at lack of minority representation. Where was Superquaggan, Wonderquaggan, Batquaggan, Ironquaggan, Silver Quaggansurfer, Invisible Quaggan, or the greatest of them all, Aquaquaggan?
