Guild Wars 2

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think the plot might actually be going somewhere.

Look at the image. There’s clearly something manipulating Scarlet, something plant-like, husk-like. We know it isn’t to do with the Nightmare Court because through the Aetherblade Path in TA, we know that Scarlet seems to be beyond Faolain.

So, what’s the only other villain we know which has something to do with plants? The elder dragon Mordremoth.

It makes sense. What does every elder dragon do when they awake? They gather an army, and look what little Scarlet was doing all along, uniting half the races hostile to the Pact under her banner, now all he needs to do is corrupt them and he’ll have the biggest army the world has seen.

Which brings us unto the next point. Dragons corrupt life and bend minds to their will. If Scarlet or him had something to do with the tower, that’s exactly what he’s doing. It’s spreading its offshoots across the world, and poisoning everything its pores touch, corrupting them with dragon corruption.

But then again, this could all be a wring and we just get Scarlet going diediediediedie for years to come. But a boy can dream right?

Discuss?

Some of us suggested the theory that Scarlet was actually being controlled by the jungle dragon, waaaaay back when her short story was released (during CC).

Considering what she saw in her vision, her madness after the fact, her new powers, and her actions, it could coincide with an elder dragon.

What if that IS the jungle dragon behind her =O

I missed something. What image?

Y’know… this makes me think. Nobody personally knew Scarlet up until she proved herself a genius in the asuran colleges, and she has shown to have no ties to the dream. Could part of her backstory be a lie? And if so…

Is it possible she is actually a dreamless sylvari from the other pale tree?

EDIT: No I guess not, it specifically says in her story she heard the voice of the pale tree just before descending in to madness. While some of her backstory could be made up, I doubt the writers would falsify a plot-hook like that.
