Guild Wars 2

Walking through the New LA and hunting for the Karka Hatchlings I came across a dead sylvari half-buried in sand with a Lionguard nearby speculating murder.
This reminded me of Destroyed LA, in which two patrolling Lion Guard came across a sylvari and one of them (an asura) accused him of being a looter and even conned him into “confessing” to being a looter only to be held back from attacking by her partner.

Do any of you think there’s a connection? Some in-game anti-sylvari movements brought about by Scarlet’s actions?

I hope so. Sounds like a cool plotline which is also relevant to the whole Mordremoth story.

Yes, it’s totally because of Scarlet. There’s prejudice against Sylvari.
I managed to find two idle dialogs about it : One is a Sylvari merchant telling that he’ll probably go back to the Grove because he can’t find much customer, being a Sylvari, and the other one has troubles to find a job, he talks to an Asura who hesitates to employ him before accepting because he doesn’t ask for much money.
I’ve got screenshots, but only in French, sorry. :p The names of said NPCs :
-Itheann & Lion Guard Hela (South, near the beach)
-Melydiod & Edda. (East of the portals)

Edit : There’s also a guy near the docks, telling a joke about burning Sylvari.

This is clearly a lead in to the conflicts between sylvari and other races we saw with Canach in the first HoT trailer. The investigator even states she thinks there will be more sylvari deaths.

In fact, a lot of the dialogue I’ve found has seem to point to three things (imo): lead ins to HoT, upcoming return to Southsun, and a lot of nod backs to Season 1 (perhaps hinting at the return of it as permanent content reformatted to be like Season 2).

Does anyone remember the dead body in Divinity’s Reach? Did we ever find out what happened with that? It could have been just bandits/not related, but that’s what this reminded me of also.

Like many things, those not touched by the Living World remain unchanged.

The crime scene in DR is no different – unchanged.
