Guild Wars 2

the big undead bone dragon from Guild Wars 1. http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Rotscale

he supposedly awoke near Frost Gate and eventually made his way to The Mosoleum in Majesty’s Rest, where we, the players, defeated him for the Rotwing Recurve Bow. did we really defeat him? or will he reanimate again in GW2?

if he does reanimate, say, by the power of some eldar dragon, will he still be in Majesty’s Rest? will he become the champion of an eldar dragon? or will he be following Livia around, since she carries the Scepter of Orr (which controlled the Undead in GW1)?

then again, i suppose if Rotscale obeyed Livia, we would have heard rumours of a great bone dragon attacking Kryta’s enemies at some point, (since her goal was to defend Kryta at any costs) unless Livia is keeping him as a secret weapon. the way Adelburn saved his Sword’s magic as a last resort to use only when there was no more hope of victory

I think the chances are quite slim that we will get new zones that are located to the north of Brisban Wildlands, the Silverwastes and Verdant Brink. Thus I don’t think it’s likely that we will get to Majesty’s Rest. I hope to be proven wrong though.

I would love to see that daze-happy jerk return.

There is still that broken bridge in Brisban Wildlands leading up North.

1. It’s not really canon whether or not any of the bosses we can fight is canonically killed unless part of a quest or mission (bounties do not count, IMO). Rotscale could be fought – and killed – by Keiran in Hearts of the North indicating that Rotscale was alive at least as long as 1079 AE in canon lore; whether or not being able to be killed by Keiran is canon or not is unclear, however Keiran has a bow that shares skins with the Rotwing Recurve Bow.

Given the lack of proximity of any dragon activity in the area, it’s unlikely that Rotscale would be corrupted by a dragon – and if he were, it would have been by Zhaitan most likely. However, I should note that Rotscale was put on par to Glint and Kuunavang even after Glint’s reveal as a dragon champion – though whether the comparison was bringing this reveal into play is unclear, and the twitchtv video in which such was mentioned has been taken down by ArenaNet.

There’s no reason to believe that the Scepter of Orr can actually control the undead. Keep in mind that while Khilbron claimed such, he already had control of the undead and was already a lich lord by a full year before stating such. The only thing that the Scepter of Orr seems to control is souls (titans are twisted souls; the Sanctum Cay mission has a lost soul following you only if you have the Scepter of Orr; the only non-Orrian undead Khilbron summons and control is Shock Phantoms – ghosts – of the White Mantle). Going by that, Rotscale wouldn’t follow the Scepter of Orr – whomever held it. Also, Livia no longer has the Scepter of Orr; she had it, but only for a “short” time. What she did with it is unknown.

We were originally to go west of Queensdale/north of Brisban but the zone got cut for time and plot-relation reasons. Most likely it was to be accessed via the broken bridge in north-central Brisban.

In the dat-pulled Verdant Brink map, there seems to be a path going north.

So going north of Brisban wouldn’t be an unlikely thing in the future.
