Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I’ve read Almorra’s story a few times in-game and now I read it again in Ghosts of Ascalon (reading it at the moment), but I keep wondering how she survived the flight of Kralkatorrik which created the Dragonbrand. She was like almost touching a mate of her warband, everbody got turned, except her. Any logics in that one or was she just that lucky (and they needed something to have a origin-story for The Vigil)?

Luck. They might divulge the secret later, when we learn more about Kralkatorrik, but for now, it’s basically she just happened to survive. Maybe if you’ve got a strong enough will, you can be immune to the corruption? DE didn’t get corrupted either, but then again, they weren’t in the direct path of the brand.

They’ve already divulged the “secret.”

She was on the edge of the Dragonbrand’s formation. It literally just missed her. There’s a communing skill challenge at the place where her warband was turned, in northern Blazeridge Steppes (just NW of where you fight the Shatterer). Right at a little crevice and at the western edge of the Dragonbrand.

Well, guess she’s very lucky then.

And I know that skill point challenge in Blazeridge Steppes, but when you visit it, its whole surroundings have been transformed by the Brand. That’s where the confusion started I guess. Especially when she told her story in Ghost of Ascalon, she was so close to a warband mate, almost touching him when he turned.
