Mordremoth and the Sylvari...
- No sylvari awakens under Nightmare. Source: http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com/forum/m/2737230/viewthread/9902543-2rps-lore-interview-arenanet (“All sylvari born from the Pale Tree start off with a strong sense of the moral/philosophical lessons listed on Ventari’s Tablet. Some reject those lessons, and some reject them almost immediately, but they all start with the same moral foundations, which are based on Ventari’s Tablet and reinforced by the Dream before a sylvari awakens in the Grove.”)
- The dragon is the Shadow of the Dragon – a champion of Mordremoth, not Mordremoth itself. This is reaffirmed if you take a sylvari through The World Summit of episode 4.
- Not all sylvari deal with the Shadow of the Dragon. Only very few actually do. Source: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/races/sylvari/ (“A rare few sylvari have seen the shadows of the Elder Dragons in the Dream, warnings of the danger that menaces the awakened world.”)
- Scarlet did not see vines piercing the tree (they were strangling) nor did she call it nightmare. She “became” the vine, and rejected both Dream and Nightmare as a result. Scarlet did not join the Nightmare Court, she used them.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I posted a reply on reddit to thank you for the research. As I said before I was just getting into lore and I guess in my mind I was putting together contingent points.
