Dear friends at ArenaNet,
It’s been a long day in Tyria. I left my swords with Zommoros for much needed repairs. Bhia was cussing as she threw me out of the kitchen (she thought I was Nightmare Court agent because my cooking “was upsetting the Pale Tree”). So, I decided to take a break and rest before my meeting with Caithe where we will discuss our plans for Zhaitan.

While I was laying in a leaf-bed I got from my new friend from Rata Sum (he called it self-sustainable-anti-gravitational-hammock), I remembered a strange vision I had in my dream. It was of an ancient adventurer who passed through these lands before The Awakening. She was a great mesmer, like me, and she was a wise friend of Ventari. She spoke of distant lands to the south where she fought gods; of old magic, army of shadows and her many adventures in the Mysts. In some strange way she was connected to me and showed me a way to open the portal to the vault she called Hall in my vision.

Among many rusted weapons and magic armor, under the small statues of her pets, there was a strange book she found in the Mysts. It was written in strange language no one in the whole Tyria knew. It was only with the help of her goddess Lyssa that she found a way to unlock it’s secrets. After she vanquished every foe around basilica that holds Lyssa’s altar, the waterfalls of Elon froze and the lake was perfectly still. She held the book above the mirror and the words started to change shape:

“Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson

The book foretold that 150 years after it was written (in year 2015 by unknown calendar) a mirror would become portal to the strange new land and we could travel there from Tyria. My vision only spoke of grubs called caterpillar and lots of hats. She also told me that if I can’t find this mirror I should write a letter to the guild of adventurers called ArenaNet and ask. I’ve heard that you have great tools imbued with the powers of all gods hidden in dungeons of your castle and that you could even build gates like Asura! (Although my friend from Rata Sum didn’t agree. Unless you have found Keystone, he added.)

I’m sending this letter in hope that ravens would find the way through the Mysts to your keep. I also hope that few years from now we can all celebrate the anniversary of this amazing book in new lands inspired by Alice’s Adventures!
