Guild Wars 2

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Eir and Glint did land a few blows to him, and Kralkatorrik did fall from the sky in a nice big thud. But those amount to scratches and bruises that would heal in days/weeks tops, not years.

And we don’t know which direction Kralkatorrik flew – he might be nowhere near Joko’s forces, which last we knew only reached the southern Crystal Desert where it clashed with Zhaitan’s forces on supposedly equal footing.

Yeah, any of the blows aren’t serious enough to actually consider him purposefully leaving to heal up. People overplay the damage dealt by huge amounts I’ve noticed.

Isn’t it also unknown if Kralk is even in the Crystal Desert anymore? I remember it was stated that there is actually zero information on where Kralk may be, even a rough “Somewhere in this region of the desert.”

We currently know that Queen Jennah has ordered the Desert Gate to be built and guarded effectively closing off the Crystal Desert because “Dark events have befallen the desert”.

While in itself this is no confirmation that Kralkatorrik is there at all, we only have the brand to possibly answer this question for us right now.
If you don’t know where something is, the best way of finding it again is to go where you’ve lost track of it.

We don’t know if the dragon is there for sure, but I’m not going to plan an expedition into the Far Shiverpeaks if the Crystal Desert is where we last saw the dragon headed. ^^

Bonus (obviously not serious-) tinfoil hat time
- Queen Jennah is Kralkatorrik’s Champion, and has sealed off the Crystal Desert as to make sure her master won’t be bothered too much.
- Queen Jennah called Logan back to her side because she knew her master would be in danger if Logan were to stay with Destiny’s Edge.

Completely true as well. Joko’s forces and risen are fighting in areas, and I think otherwise it’s OoW people coming to and from Elona, and I remember somewhere that there are priory teams in the desert? I don’t know if that is true though.

Obviously Anise is bubbles.

The war between Joko and risen sound like a “dark event” that has “befallen the desert” to me.

Wouldn’t you consider undead army versus psuedo-undead army a dark event?

Sure you would – to go after Jormag. :P

Iowerth mentions that the ritual used to see Riannoc’s final moments during Secrets in the Earth were discovered in the Crystal Desert while tomb-raiding. Who’s tombs unknown – there were multiple groups in the desert (Ascalonian, Seekers, Forgotten, Margonites, Primeval Kings’ era Elonians, and Turai’s era Elonians) – and it is unknown when it happened as well (could have been before Kralkatorrik/Zhaitan rose/threatened the region).

Which makes one wonder why the ‘memory seeds’ were 1) needed in S2, 2) not brought up with Riannoc’s death.

There’s also Stinn, who’s at least been to the desert at some point in his life- the phrasing is vague, but like with Iowerth, it sounds to me like it was a relatively recent trip. Granted, that doesn’t mean the ‘dark events’ are recent- there’s no reason the Priory would have to go through the desert gate, and events in one part of the desert may be no threat to grave robbers in another.

He is too busy raiding the relics at orr and killing the rest of the dragon minnions
