Malyck in HoT?
If Caithe didn’t kill him (and I suspect that she did, especially now that we know what she knew about the sylvari), then she likely went after their pale tree with some kind of poison or something. So, he could be a bitter survivor, not under the dragon’s control, but out for vengeance in his own right. Someone out to repay Caithe in kind.

That would be remarkably bad storytelling, to have such incredible events happen entirely offscreen.

While they did happen offscreen, there are hints of them if you play through the right parts of the storylines. And we could still find Malyck’s dead tree or something, and get flashbacks to explain the story.

I know it is nearly impossible, but I just so want Malyck to be alright.
Well, there is that artwork with Rytlock looking at a Pale Tree in the jungle, so there is likely going to be something in HoT.
I can’t seem to find it, but it was shown during the HoT Announcement.
Even though the image shows a bright tree like the one in the grove, I could also imagine the other tree to be corrupted, or a dungeon. Or it could even be where Mordremoth is located.
