In Labyrinthine Cliffs, if you travel on land underneath the Zephyr Sanctum (very South-centered on the map) you’ll come across the ruins of what looks like an old ship. Upon closer inspection, it has some interesting wreckage: such as a steel cage hanging from a chain that appears to have been busted open from the inside.

Do we have any clue what this ship could be? Was it a previous Zephyr Sanctum? If it was, I may have a theory of what could have been in that cage.

Some ships are possibly got shipwrecked after the rise of Orr. One of the ships is made of metal, so that is possibly a charr ship. How could that be the previous sanctum, I can’t even imagine this kind of connection.

It’s quite possibly wreckage left over from the tidal wave caused by Zhaitans rise.

I don’t really think it is previous Sanctum or even related to Zephyrites, unless there’s anything related to them/their architecture etc in those ruins. As Gandarel pointed out they could be related to any other ship that got wrecked. Remember that Zephyr Sanctum is a moving fleet and not a stationary area on the map so the wreckage could be related to anyone on the world of Tyria.

The steel cage might be used by Krait to imprison their captives (similar to what we see in other Krait-heavy zones), and there are a lot of Krait hanging around on the land below where the Sanctum is.

It’s a Pact airship. Wreckage matches the same seen in Arah dungeon and the crashed Pact airship event in Cursed Shore.

Well, it may be Aetherblade airship, but it’s an airship that crashed. You can make out its rotor, the frame of the balloon, and so forth.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

Yeah, I’ll agree with Konig. That’s the first thought that entered my mind when I saw it as well. It would make sense to be either a washed up pact airship or even possibly an aetherblade airship, seeing as the Zephyrites don’t seem to be having good relations with them. My interest is if it has anything to do with the upcoming story arc involved with this living story.

well considering the location of the map, those wreckages could have ended there because the tides pushed them there.
