Guild Wars 2

While doing the Labyrinth, During some of the Edrick (Purple) door events, Rebel Lunatics spawn out of them.

Why would they side with Edrick, and leave the Mad King?
Isn’t their whole goal to help the Mad King get out of the Mad realm permanently, and not just 1 day a year?

Edrick can already come to the real world, as we saw during the first instanced event with Tassi.

Also… Any idea how Edrick new immediately about the Mad Realm? Didn’t he get locked up in the box before the Mad King was killed?

Also, reading a bit about Krait Obelisk and looking at the new release image with Mad King’s Head at the top…. I think one of them is going to sacrafice the other for some kind of “ascension” using the Obelisk.

The Rebel Lunatics aren’t the Lunatic Court – they’re rebels.

Even in last year’s events, there was mention from some of the (nonhostile) Lunatic Court NPCs spread across some of the Krytan maps that there was a rebellion in the Mad Realm – it’s not unsurprising that those rebels might flock to add their support to a serious challenger to the Mad King’s power.

I could be remembering incorrectly but in regards to the Rebels… I remember there being a baron/lord or some-type during last year’s Halloween events mentioned somewhere, one who wasn’t a huge fan of the Mad King. There were Lunatics that were more allied with him than the King, and I think it’s those rebels that are now sided with Edrick.

There’s a lot of ambient and hidden-away dialogue I ended up missing, I’m sure, as I didn’t spend a ton of time in the maze and barely even tried the Inquisition.

Last year we saw that the Lunatic Court was in a civil war – this was focused in the three meta events in Queensdale, Kessex, and Gendarran. Sadly, no one seems to have documented the dialogue (not surprising given how confusing the Kessex and Gendarran event format and dialogue was) but from what my memory serves, the rebels were led by Baron Wycker, whom we fought in Queensdale. During the fight with him he mentioned a prince that should be crowned.

The Lunatic Court split – rebels led by Baron Wycker – in order to crown little Eddie and replace papa Ozzy. Now that Eddie is free, they follow him.

These rebels are likely why Eddie knew of the Mad Realm so fast too.

About the pillar… I’m not seeing that Mad King’s face thing.

The top of the pillar kind of looked like a pumpkin with lots of slits cut into it, like his head.

Now that i take a better look though, maybe not.

Don’t worry Konig, I don’t see it either. I think people are trying to dig deeper than there is any reason to. I am interested though to see more about the krait, and perhaps dig a little deeper than the freakin Witch’s dialogues…
