Under navigation there is a Random Page link. I hit that today for the first time and got this:

Hrothbeir’s Rest is a small iced hill with one tree at Lake Mourn in Hoelbrak. It is named after a norn, Hrothbeir, who chipped away a glacier that was threatening to crush Hoelbrak during its early years, creating Lake Mourn. It is said he didn’t rest day or night until the glacier was gone, and when his task was done he sat exhausted on the island.

Magic is an important force in the world of Guild Wars 2. It is presented as a supernatural power that can be controlled by certain individuals, and is split up into four “schools”: Preservation, Destruction, Aggression, and Denial. Most magic users must commit to a single school – it is impossible to utilize magic to its full extent without cooperation.

Magic is practiced mainly by scholars of all races, as well as being an integral part of asura society. The charr regard magic with suspicion and are distrustful of magic users, even within their own ranks.

Syzygy was Atari’s original company name. This amulet matches the Triforge Pendant which is named in reference to Arenanet’s original company name as well.
Syzygy has multiple meanings, but in this case likely refers to three celestial bodies in a straight line.

“I didn’t buy into GW2 being the second coming of christ.
I just wanted a AAA MMO with no sub made by ArenaNet. And it’s awesome.”

The Wisdom and Power of the Kodan

They first appeared in the world as rumor, as legends. Travelers told tales of great ships made of ice and bedecked with sails glimpsed among the fjords. Then norn hunters returned with more stories of white furred bear-men—unlike those norn blessed by Bear—who possessed great power but who were also filled with great fear. They were fleeing the north, the land of the Elder Ice Dragon Jormag. They were creatures of wisdom and judgment, weighing the races of Tyria and finding them wanting. They were the kodan.

No race weaves the thread of life. We are all strands in it, seeds upon the earth, inheritors of nature’s balance.
— Many Stars, Kodan Voice

The kodan are intelligent, ten-foot tall, bipedal, polar bear-like beings from the distant north. Culturally, they have a strong belief in the importance of being in balance with the world around them, but this does not mean they are pacifists. Taking a cue from the natural world, they see hunting and killing as a normal part of life. What is most important is that an individual’s actions are in balance with nature. Originally from beyond the northern Shiverpeaks, the kodan tribes inhabit floating iceberg fortresses called Sanctuaries; one per tribe, they live and travel upon these mighty ice peaks, building entire cities within their shelter.

Ooshanu

Ooshanu is a merchant that appears occasionally near the Havoc Waypoint of Havoc Steppes, in Fireheart Rise and near the Priory Bridge in Lornar’s Pass.

Items offered
Triple-Luck Tonic Basic Tonic 8c

Wealth, fame, and power—a recipe for success. One drink gives you what most people can’t achieve in a lifetime. There is a downside to drinking the tonic, i.e., at least one minute of “lousy luck”.

Curious about this “lousy luck”, I followed the link to this:

Triple-Luck Tonic

Consuming the tonic gives you Rotten Luck for over a minute. If you talk to Ooshanu again and complain, it starts the Defeat Orma of Modus Sceleris Event.
