Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone,

Our guild created a visual version of the origin of Marjory Delaqua: The Last Straw under Community Creations. I realized, that since this story is canon to Guild Wars Lore it should also be posted here. The text is official by Angel McCoy of ArenaNet and the visuals were created by our guild.

If anyone is interested in learning more about Marjory please check out the video below:

If you have any feedback please let us know, thank you!

I <3 this. You did such a great job. Delightful!

Thank you, Angel! The honor is ours.

That’s so lovely. I miss these short stories. <3

On a related note, these stories could certainly fill a lot of in-game lore gaps. I personally wouldn’t have any issues with that, specially when we have this wonderful community capable of doing these kinds of videos.

I reaaaaally miss short stories as a way to lay the background for important characters, and also give us some room to breath when all we talk about is Elder Dragons centered plot.

Awesome work! thoroughly enjoyed it!

I just want to point out that Delequa is fun to say.

This is awesome! Thanks for giving me more backlore on my favorite GW2 character <3

Thank you for the encouragement to continue!

It is a fun ‘bouncy’ word to say.

You’re welcome, we thank Angel McCoy for creating it.

Quick question. In this, from the voice it seems that E is certainly a male. I can also assume not a Charr as their arm and hand would be instantly identifiable as that race. Was this poetic license or have those details been verified?

Either way I love it, just wondering on those points is all.

A verbatim copy of the original can be found here Paragraphs in question are:

I stood slowly, and as I reached my full height, a body came up gently behind me. Arms wrapped so intimately around me that my fight or flight instincts never kicked in. Then, a knife appeared at my throat.

I froze. When you’ve been had, there’s not much you can do but listen.

A deep voice whispered next to my ear, “Calm.” I sensed no necromantic power radiating from my captor. This was someone different. “The man you’re chasing is Kraig the Bleak. Magic for hire. You’ll probably never see him again.”

Mention of a ‘deep voice’ and arms wrapping around Marjory are canon. Though it should be noted that later on Marjory has noted that they’re not actually sure if E is male or female.

Sorry, I thought I answered this question. The specific details about E have not been verified. Thank you for asking and we’re glad you enjoyed the visualization.
