Guild Wars 2

I was remembering Guild Wars: Prophecies and i remember the Charr used the cauldron of Cataclysm to cause the searing and destroy The Great Northern Wall and enter Ascalon. I checked on the Gw1 Wiki about the cauldron and i was curious about this “it is said that the magic powering the cauldron was older than even the Titans, powered by beings who had long ago fallen into sleep.” I assume that those beings that fell into slumber are actually the Elder Dragons which could mean that the cauldron was connected to Kralkatorrik in some way, since he was the one sleeping in their homelands etc etc and i remembering seeing searing crystals around Ascalon in those days which are very similiar to those crystals in the Dragonbrand, Could there be a connection?

well,it uses purple crystals,is found near his sleaping spot and is said to be powered by an ancient being who long ago had fallen into sleep,i think you just answerred your own question.

The crystals are purple, so they do look similar
Searing Cauldrons are from Orr, there’s a storyline quest way late in the game that talks about it, so not Kralkatorrik

Uh, Mystic… you need to redo that storyline. That Searing Cauldron was brought to Orr by the charr during their invasion and was taken by the risen (cuz they take magical artifacts for feeding Zhaitan). They didn’t originate in Orr (if they did, think: how did the charr get them? >.>) – I also heard that there’s one that can be found in the Straits of Devastation, underwater (again, one brought by the charr during the Charr Invasion prior to the Cataclysm).

Anyways – the facts as we have them are thus:

• The Cauldron of Cataclysm was given to the charr by the titans.
• The Searing Cauldrons (there were many – the Cauldron of Cataclysm was likely just the original; the skill challenge and PoI in Iron Marches is the/a cauldron which was used during the Searing – the PoI being “The Cauldron of Searing”) was enchanted by the Flame Shamans.
• The Searing was so devastating because the Flame Shamans of GW1 didn’t know how to control the magic, according to Priory scholars – in modern days, they do; there’s two cases of a new Searing occurring, which are highly isolated events – one in a dynamic event in Iron Marches, and one in the Orr personal storyline.
• The Searing Crystals and flames hold the same hue of purple as the Dragonbrand crystals in GW2 (in GW1 they were more blue-ish), however they do not shimmer like Dragonbrand crystals.

@jinx: Uh, no Searing crystals are not found near where Kralkatorrik went to sleep – and they were made 250 years ago so where they’d be found is irrelevant to the matter.
