This is just my thoughts and opinions on the lore and how it seemed anet was going one direction, then veered into another.
First, we had Destiny’s edge fighting alongside Glint to kill Kralkatorrik when he awoke. They failed and we know how that went. Then our personal story and dungeon stories basically show the group getting back together to attack zhaitan. You would think “well, now that the group is back together, maybe they will go after Kralkatorrik again back in the crystal desert.” But we didn’t.
Then we get the Zypherites, desciples of Glint, who had gone to the desert to collect Glint’s remains.
And then we get to Tarir, which also makes little sense to me in its location. Okay, yes, Glint foresaw Mord causing problems, hence the city being built here. But again, this could’ve just been shoehorned in to fit because without that reasoning, it makes no sense. Again a place that contains followers of Glint is really no where close to her.
I don’t know. It feels more that the next dragon was looking to be Kralkatorrik to be taken down, but gears got switched.
Not complaining, just noticing is all. If anything, with Logan and Zojja having been captured, I wouldn’t be surprised if Rytlock wants to take command again and instead of waiting for the next dragon to attack, take the fight to the dragons, starting with Kralkatorrik.
