I was mistaken, there were two concept arts depicting nude murasaat, the other one giving a better view of their “faces”. while they clearly have some sort of eyes or eye indents, they don’t really have much else.

Sort of like building a sandcastle

I’d like to see this concept art.

I get what you are saying about a lack of face, at least in the sense of nose, mouth, and ears.

I get the impression that the mursaat are not showing us their full hand. You have to remember, this civilization both survived the first rise of the elder dragons and completely annihilated the seers, even though the seers had knowledge of the secrets of infusion.

The scenario I find most likely is that the mursaat are alive and well on the isle of Janthir, hiding themselves from the elder dragons. With Abbadon defeated and the titans destroyed, they have no further need of the Onyx Gate, and no further need of the White Mantle to provide them with sacrifices. I’d speculate that their interests in Kryta, following the events of Prophecies and the White Mantle’s fall from power, simply were no longer worth sustaining.

The mursaat encountered in the war in Kryta were possibly just the last holdouts of their expeditionary force.

I also subscribe to this theory. With their ability to phase and their sheer ability to survive the last dragon awakening I dont think they simply through themselves entirely at the Shining Blade during the Guild Wars Beyond content. It just doesn’t make sense when they have the ability to phase out, and only a certain few have the ability to see them (Ascension).

Secretly hoping the Nov 15th content is related to them if the whole ‘Island’ rumor is true. Isle of Janthir was my 2nd most desired location to visit during GW1, and though Orr (my #1) was hugely disappointed I still have faith!

Isle of Janthir would be pretty sweet, though it would make very little sense that we could get there from where we are.
