Guild Wars 2

Here’s what I don’t understand. If Mordy is drawn to a magic locket in the Shiverpeeks, then Glints egg has to be like someone placed a searchlight in his back yard. Seems like a dumb move by the Master of Peace. If he needed a bloodstone, why choose one so close to Mordremoth?

I think Caithe wants to use the egg to somehow heal the Pale Tree.

Now I’m almost sure that the main saboteur of S2E1 was Caithe.

Wounds from daggers on Zephirytes’ bodies? Yeah….

Don’t fail me ANet, that’s a good “shocker”.

If he is taking it to a bloodstone it can simply be due to it being basically the only one that can be somewhat easily reached. The only other one we currently know the locations of would be the Ring of Fire one as far as I am aware, and that would probably be more or less impossible to access.

Unless they moved it in the last 250 years without telling us, there’s suppose to be a Bloodstone in Sparkfly Fen isn’t there?

Nothing actually says Mordy was drawn to the locket.

1. There were multiple magical artifacts with the caravan. The locket was just the “most important” (and likely a chekov’s gun or mcguffin)
2. From an interview – “The most powerful artifacts won’t be common knowledge. That stated, Mordrem don’t always attack with the sole purpose of consuming magic.”

So the attack on Concordia and Iron Marches may not be magic-related. Seems the caravans with magical artifacts were just a “subject of opportunity”.

This said, the egg was attacked by Mordrem anyways (see Aerin), so it is a bit strange to take it through Mordrem territory. Thing is, their destination doesn’t seem to be the Bloodstone. The PC talks about a “golden location” so unless there was massive renovations at Bloodstone Fen, that’s not the destination (though our direction north certainly hints at it). I suspect said golden location to be a location akin to the Hall of Ascension – perhaps tied to the Forgotten given that there were runes of the Forgotten found in Silverwastes (though I’ve not seen them myself, I’ve seen screenshots of them) and the Forgotten were said to be spread across Tyria (both world and continent).

However, if the Bloodstone is the destination, then the reason may be one of the following:

1. The others’ locations are either too dangerous (more than a rapidly expanding army of unknown location), or are unknown. In GW1, we knew of three in total – but the Ring of Fire volcano erupted, so that may now be inaccessible, buried under hardened lava (and let’s not forget that the Risen has had occupation on the RoF, and that the RoF is hailed as THE most trecherous place on Tyria); Bloodstone Caves’ entrance seems sealed, if the seal we see is indeed for Bloodstone Caves, and if it isn’t then we don’t know where the entrance is (not to mention that the asura has had heavy influence on it in the past, and for all we know broke it apart for powerstones).
2. The MoP needs that one specifically due to the school of magic held within, suspected to be Preservation.

Why do people think that Aerin would use nothing but explosives?

If you want to sneakily kill people who’re close to discovering your plans of sabotogue, are you going to fling loud exploding grenades and mines at them, or are you going to stab them with a blade?

Aerin wasn’t in his right mind, but he wasn’t an idiot either.

Technically no. It’s in a cave (fell through the ground into one) in the Shiverpeaks. The cave’s entrance – without jumping into the hole the Bloodstone made – is in Sparkfly Fen. But the asura and Shining Blade had influence over it and broke pieces of it off for weapons and other tools – and its fate is unknown.
