Guild Wars 2

The giant tooth/claw of jormag in Hoelbrak. If we get involved with Jormag, this would be a stakeholder share.

The inquest. Theyve been researching the dragon minions for power usage for quite some time. They were actively introduced during LS2 but disapeared/forgotten as soon as you move to the silverwastes. They still have too much potential to waste.

The dwarves, sure, things are dark for them, but they were closest to Primordus before his exodus. Even if there are none left, it would be a waste to not at least look for them. The PC doesnt know if they’re extinct. At least, I dont remember any npc guaranteeing they’re dead. I wonder if Ogden could tell if he was the last.

And with our hands full on the elder dragons, and the black citadel in political distraction, isnt now a good time for the flame legion to make a comeuppance?

Firstly I’m not sure what you mean by “stakeholder share”, the tooth is an object, it can’t be a stakeholder in anything.

Secondly the norn legend that it will be time to fight Jormag when someone breaks the tooth is just that – a legend. (And possibly a way to discourage overconfident young norn from marching off to find the dragon.) There’s no reason to think it has any basis in fact. We didn’t need any sign that it was time to go after Zhaitan and Mordremoth except for deciding we were ready.

The tooth could be a good way to test any weapons we plan to use against the dragon, but apart from upsetting some norn I don’t think it would be a big problem if we ended up fighting the dragon without someone breaking it.

The Inquest weren’t introduced for LS2, they’ve been in the game since the beginning and are mentioned at numerous points throughout the storyline. There’s even an entire dungeon (Crucible of Eternity) about them, as well as several asura personal storylines, Fractals, world bosses etc. Like all the other enemy factions they come and go from the storyline/s based on what’s going on and where we are. Just because they didn’t follow us into the Maguuma and haven’t been involved in Season 3 so far doesn’t mean they’ve been forgotten, just that the focus is on a different threat for now.

Actually we know for a fact that dwarves aren’t extinct. Ogden was believed to be the last one on the surface (until we found some in the Fire Islands) but we’re told repeatedly that the majority of them are deep underground fighting the destroyers and that’s why we don’t see more destroyers on the surface.

Since they’ve just been re-introduced to the story in the most recent chapter and there’s a lot of hints we’re going to go after Primordius too it seems highly likely we’ll see more of them.

Possibly. It was a good time for the bandits (and the White Mantle behind the scenes) to attack Kryta. I was going to include the Nightmare Court until I remembered they’ve recently been left leaderless (although with their fascination with ranks they should have a clear line of succession).

Although with the charr fascination with military power I think it’s unlikely even fighting the dragons has completely distracted them from the Flame Legion. I’m sure they’re still keeping a close watch on their borders.

I meant that as a plot device, or story object. I know the legend says that breaking it is a means to start the war with Jormag. But right now Jormag is being pushed into the picture, so I’m urging anet not to forget about this.
Also, it’s a body part directly of a live elder dragon. I’m assuming there’s still magic inside it, so maybe the Sons of Svanir could start a fight inside hoelbrak when Jormag moves south. Use the tooth to directly make a big magical event or something.

I owe an apology here, I meant to say ‘reintroduced’.
But I felt like they were building up a presence during LS2 and suddenly they were out of the picture. I personally thought that was a shame. And even now, I think we shouldn’t neglect them. Kudu wasn’t their leader/boss, and they’re still moving ever up.

I may be in the wrong about that, though. Its just that because Primordus is moving, there’d been a lot of talk on the forums that Primordus moving and the dwarves still being alive are mutually exclusive events. But that may be completely wrong as that was only speculation.

If thats true, wouldn’t it be nice if the grand courtiers actually start infighting for the title of Grand Duchess? getting fractured Nightmare Courts that start rebelling and plotting for the Duchess title. Could actually be a nice story, where Caithe gets pulled in.

Still bothers me there’s been nothing on the happenings of the Nightmare Court post-HoT.

While we’re on the subject of Anet not forgetting things, don’t forget about Zojja and Logan either. No, a line of dialogue from Rytlock in LWS3 E1 is not a sufficient update on their condition, especially when we get entire LW story parts dedicated to Eir’s memorial (E1) and Aurene (E2).

I’m probably gonna end up complaining about this more on the forums if it isn’t touched upon in E3. <_<
