Guild Wars 2

Hello

Scarlett is a interestig Character, personally I think Scarlett understands the Eternal Alchemy ( the universe you might say ) and thinks on a different level than we do, She isn’t crazy, she just looks crazy to us, because we don’t see the world as she sees it.

I think she wants to restore Balance to the world, the world has been imbalanced since the defeat of Zaithan, and she wants to ‘summon’ a ED and let the Dragons Complete the Cycle as it always should.

She wants to lure Primordus to the surface! The mysterious probes are sending shockwaves into the earth, they are scattered all over the map (where is primordus hiding?) They look like a mix of Dredge and Inquest technology and who used to/still worship(s) Destroyers? idd, the flame legion.

only the Toxic alliance is a mystery, maybe she wants to use the toxic to poison the dragon somehow and take control over him?

Thoughts?

one small issue at first glance. we know that Scarlett only thinks she understands the Eternal Alchemy

I think she’s trying to find something, but what I’m don’t know. I doubt she’s trying to awaken an elder dragon. Maybe she’s trying to locate the elder dragons, maybe mordremoth or priomordius, hell maybe even the bloodstones. We do know that:

-Bubbles is somewhere in the unending ocean.
-Primordius is still underground and his forces are being held at bay by the dwarves since GW1
-There is a 6th Elder Dragon (Mordremoth) that is still somewhere to be seen
-Kralkatorric is near the Crystal Desert so we know his location
-Jormag is in the Far Shiverpeaks.

Nice summary, but one correction —
Primordus is awake and mobile, and the dwarves are fuctionally extinct.

the dwarves are extinct only in the sense there’s only one of them above ground. the rest are underground fighting a losing battle against primordus’ destroyers

If the world truly is “out of balance” because of Zhaitan’s death, that is – something for which we have zero reason to believe (just because they happen to balance magic by consuming then releasing it does not mean that magic is imbalanced without that constant consuming and releasing, it would at the least mean it is stable and stagnant).

And furthermore, if Scarlet’s goal was to “rebalance the world” – something of which all her actions point to the opposite of, primarily that of her claims after coming out of the Omadd machine which was to fix the concept of predetermination of the sylvari people (aka remove Wyld Hunts/Dark Hunts – though I should note that Scott, I believe, said that her goals have yet to be truly revealed to us) – and to fix this imbalance she would need a new Elder Dragon, then she would not be trying to call an already awake Elder Dragon but instead creating a new Elder Dragon (not even wake a slumbering one) since doing anything but creating a brand new Elder Dragon would remain resulting in 5 Elder Dragons, not the original 6.

Now, it would be curious if she does intend to fulfill her plans via raising an Elder Dragon. If so, then this could tie into Tequatl’s power boost – via Scarlet trying to turn a once-champion into a newborn Elder Dragon to replace Zhaitan’s place. It can fit a bit with the Toxic Alliance, as both the Risen and the TA deal with poisons/decaying and hallucinations (Zhaitan/Risen via the form of a lot of mesmerism for the latter).

Of course, if such was the case I’d be saddened because that means that ArenaNet sadly tied yet another thing into Scarlet, and she’s harmed enough of the lore. I’d like to think that the Elder Dragons can replace themselves without outside influence, and it is done because the magic in the corpse of the previous Elder Dragon is not properly disposed of thus seeps into its champions until one of them become the new Elder Dragon (I suppose kind of like what happens to the Archdemon in Dragon Age should it not be a Grey Warden that kills it – its soul would find a nearby Darkspawn and take over that soulless body, becoming a new Archdemon over time).
