Tainted Phoenix[PHNX] – Mesmer Collective[Mes]
Not directly lore, but the way the inquest values the life of others has been part of the Asuran culture for many generations.
I always found Gadd very inquestlike:
’
Livia: “Vekk’s right. You should use an ether crystal. It would be safer.”
Gadd: “Ether crystals aren’t free. Bookahs willing to take the risk are cheaper.”
Livia: “That’s what you think of my people? They have no value to you?”
Gadd: “Not my problem. Are you going to help or not?”
’
Im not saying that he is the founder of the Inquest, but trying to explain the underlaying idea’s of the inquest have a solid root in asura history.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
The Inquest is rather recent, though we’re not given a timeframe. I don’t think anyone in GW1 could have founded it except at the end of their lifespan (though I suspect that Oola may have formed it, given the lore given in her lab in Metrica Province).
Anyways, yes, there’s a lot more lore than what’s on the wiki. It seems its lore wasn’t updated since release. But atm, I’m too tired to organize all my thoughts about what there is to the Inquest’s lore. Only “achievements” I can think of they had would be that they make cost-effective advances in science, at the price of experimenting on living subjects, which has caused the Arcane Council to support the Inquest and often turn a blind eye to their antics. They’ve also been studying the Elder Dragons’ magic, and somehow Kudu managed to create a dragon champion seemingly not tied to any Elder Dragon (himself).
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
