Guild Wars 2

With most of the stories covered already in the time frame between GW1 and GW2 the only thing left in the lore are the surviving characters or what happened to the certain characters yet unanswered.

1) The White Mantle
With them still running around it begs the question what has this long ancient enemy been up to. They may have been weakened but a member of their Unseen Gods is still alive which leaves room that sometime in the future Personal story they may become a major villain again that will become a issue if we don’t deal with them before fighting the next Elder Dragon.

2) Lazarus the Dire (the last Mursaat)
The Last time we saw this Mursaat was back in GW1 in a EotN side quest and during that quest his powers became crippled and his final words to us was “Accursed human! You have done this to me! I will not forget this!” “Countless generations will suffer for your actions this day!” I can only assume he is hiding out until he finds some way to regain his lost power but I can’t help that so called way may lead to using the energy of a Elder dragon which you know how well that will end.

3) Ogden Stonehealer
We all know this person history but then there is the History of what happened with his life after GW1 and when and why he has chosen to take up the right. Also, as Ogden mentioned in Arah explorer he is the only “Living” Dwarf left which implies he still has his mind in tack and is not mindlessly obsessed with destroying the Elder Dragons like the other Stone Dwarfs.

4) What happened to the Stone Summit and why they suddenly disappear without going through the right?

Their disappearance still remain a mystery but hints that their disappearance may be related to Jormag has been left in GW2 in our personal story if you taken the Priory Story path. They could have become Iceblood Dwarfs (like Stone dwarf but with Iceblood) and now serve Jormag as his elite army that we will only meet once we reach deeper into Jormag’s territory.

So what do you all think of all these remaining questions?

The only one I can weigh in on is the Stone Summit one, as far as I understood, we, as the heroes of Tyria killed the Stone Summit down to the last man, with Duncan the Black being the last member of the Stone Summit.

1) The White Mantle are the bandits – this is outright stated in the Unknown Parents storyline, and you can see throughout Harathi Hinterlands, Queensdale, and outside Fort Vandal in Brisban Wildlands the same shared emblem which looks like a modified version of the GW1 WM emblem. This emblems proves all bandits are united. However, most of the grunts seem to be disillusioned (for lack of a better term) citizens – people convinced that the government, specifically Queen Jennah, is ruining the country, or people who were born poor and turned to crime to make a decent living (there’s a couple bandits you can talk to which mention both of these, which heavily implies, along with the use of a bandit hideout, that the street gangs such as Two-Blade Pete’s in the Street Rat personal storyline, are led by White Mantle insurgents).

I suspect that there’s going to be a lvl 80 dungeon added at Fort Vandal, given there’s a bunch of lvl 80 champions in it. In Lionshead Outcrops of Brisban Wildlands, to the north you can also see a zone portal implying that Anet already has plans for going into the Maguuma Wastes and, possibly, further into the WM storyline.

2) This is assuming he’s still alive in GW2, since we don’t know mursaat lifespans. Him hiding is an interesting speculation, though I suspect he’s behind the bandits/White Mantle’s continue attack on Kryta. Considering the mursaat dealt with Elder Dragons before, he may have knowledge on them. If so, and he is still backing the WM, this could explain their allegiance with the Inquest who are experimenting with Elder Dragon magic…

Interesting, and plausible, hypothesis.

4) CaptSlate’s wrong regarding the Stone Summit. That was the main view, but we learn from NPCs around Granite Citadel in Dredgehaunt Cliffs that with the rise of Primordus, the Stone Summit returned to Deldrimor ending the civil war for good and we knew from interviews that all dwarves – Deldrimor and Stone Summit – eventually underwent the Rite of the Great Dwarf and went underground to fight off Primordus and his minions. They’re the reason why destroyers are scarce on the surface.

@Konig Des Todes, I just wanted to drop in and say that i’m really impressed with your posts. Where do you get this stuff? I don’t know much about lore so your posts (here and on guru) really make things clear. Just keep ’em coming
