While she opens the first set of doors at the White Mantle hideout ( Brisban Wildlands ), Livia sings about Glint.

She tells us that Glint’s soul wkittentered and incorporated into the desert sands. This is the apparent power source for PoF specializations.

I hope that ANET develops this part of the story further. Glint, the crystal dragon, was a powerful Mesmer. ( I might also point out Kralkatoric and The crystalline Branded. )

Crystals resonate at specific frequencies and actually grow. How will that and the Zepherites figure in the story?

She’s singing the zephyrite song, IIRC the tune correctly.

It’s very similar to the song they would sing when docked at the bazaar of the four winds.

I doubt it holds much significance for PoF. As Kalavier said, it’s the Zephyrite song that we first heard (and in full then) during Bazaar of the Four Winds. They probably just took an iconic song for her to sing.

She could have sung Fear Not This Night in all honesty for its likely relevance.

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

Sorta wish she had.

I don’t think you’re right. In the preview game, the Holosmith explains that his art comes through trade with the zephyrites and there crystal lore.

The Mirage also explains that her power comes from magic infused in the sand. Kerida’s song speaks specifically about glint’s soul being scattered in the sand.. let’s also not forget our new ( baby) dragon ally Aurene. She’s the scion of Glint.

It does seem that there will be Zephyrites somehow involved in PoF (which makes sense, given that a good number of them are Elonian) given one of the achievements in the Crystal Oasis naming a “Zephyrite village”.

However, that song was not introduced with “Kerida”, and despite the appropriate link of Zephyrites in the new maps there’s no connection known or implied so far between “Kerida” and the Zephyrites. So, as said, they likely wanted her to sing something and chose something iconic to players.

If it had any relevance, I’d bet it was as relevant as that White Mantle Knight in episode 1 wielding a Balthazar Shield – out of place, a hint to Balthazar’s return, but no direct relevance between the NPC and The Big B.
