Guild Wars 2

So basically when everyone’s favorite villain scarlet (sarcasm) took some acid she had a
dream about the pale tree and saw Mordremoth which drove her crazy. Her whole plan was to wake up Mordremoth. Now here is what I don’t understand why did she do it? I just don’t see why she would waste her time waking him up. If you say it was mordremoth that was putting the idea in her head? If he was gonna wake up anyways why would he need her to do it for him? I mean Scarlet wasted all this time just to wake him up? Seems like a big kitten waste of time for something that is just gonna wake up anyways.

If you say she speed up his time line and all the dragon wake up at different times (which don’t see why that would be a big issue) why would him being awake earlier be an issue. At some point all the dragons are gonna be awake at the same time, So him being awake earlier just don’t seem like a great plot to me.

Now if you say she new waking him up was going to cause lots of damage and she hope that him being earlier would destablise the balance of power hoping the dragons kill everyone and them self off, I just don’t see that being the case.

So can anyone explain how Scarlet’s over all story ark waking up mordremoth was a relevant plot device? Sorry if this sounds wordy, the question sounds better in my head. I hope I explained it enough for someone to understand what I mean.

Mordremoth wanted to wake up, but don’t forget their current sleep is(was) because the Seers made the bloodstones effectively starving the dragons into hibernation. Most of them woke up on their own, albeit needing the help from some minions. I think most dragons spouted minions to gather magic (anti-kitten), until there was enough to wake up on (insert Great Destroyer from GW1 here)

Now, Mordremoth is slightly different apparantly. He chose Scarlet as his chaperone to get the magic to awaken him, and Scarlet the ever overachiever decided that some relics wasn’t gonna be enough like it was for Zhaitan, no, she had to flood the tunnels with leyline by drilling straight into a node so that a wave of magic would wash over mordremoth.

(This is just a speculation based on logic, but I dont have more proof than just a likely scenario)

Much like Amaimon said, I think Scarlett did what she did to escalate Mordremoth’s awakening, rather than wait for him to eventually wake up on his own. I think it was implied at some point that she was Soundless, meaning she didn’t have the Dream’s protection from his corruption, and Omadd’s machine unlocked the Mordrem part of her brain (or whatever sylvari use to think). That is when she started working on a way to get her lord and master up and running, and with all the leyline study and everything learned from the fight with Zhaitan (eg. dragons eat magic), she figured one strong injection of leyline energy will get him up and running faster than an asura could build a golem.
