Just curious, but has this always been here? It’s directly west of the Shattered Henge skillpoint. It has a bunch of crazed creatures that are out of their environment like the Fire Elemental Reactor (not trying to type out Therma etc etc right now).

Regardless of whether it has or hasn’t, is there any current story/lore explaining exactly what the light is in regards to? It appears to be coming from the GW1 Tangle Root map.

Anyhow, yeah, don’t know if this is useful at all or not, just noticed it today while doing map completion in the area for the first time.

Not wanting to sound like a kitten or anything. Could it be the sun?

Here’s a different angle, and it doesn’t appear to be the sun, at all. It has a lightning effect, and the same effect is also present on the ground.

the sun is done with the night/day cycle, the sun is also making yellow/white light, that’s clearly blue-ish.

It looks the same colour as the main crystal in the Aroura Glade mission if I remember correctly. It could be light refracting from that. Which would be very cool.

Oh I almost forgotten about Lazarus the Dire.

He is the only Musaat I know that has a chance to be still alive in GW2 due to what happened to him in GW1.

After all the events that wounded Lazarus the Dire forced him into hiding so he can recover from the corrupted aspect he absorbed back in GW1 but not without vowing that he will have his revenge even if it takes generations to have it.

Lazarus is also one of the Musaat that took Saul D’Alessio away as well which would make him a perfect character to return in GW1 if they wish to reveal the true fate of Saul D’Alessio and bring back the White Mantles as a major threat.

This has always been there — or at least for a very long time. I if I found a story tied to it , though — been a long time since I did map completion.

Well there are inquest in the area, and the area is reminiscent of where inquest have done experiments, given the effects of the confused and misplaced creatures. That being said, I wasn’t able to figure out any lore indicating what exactly was supposed to be happening in the area (I’m not a “lore hound” though).

However, if there is any indication of this being an area that ties into GW2 LW2, it would imply that at least a portion of Tangle Root from GW1 will be present on the next map(s), which also houses Maguuma Stades, and in GW1 also exits to Dry Top.

I mention Maguuma Stades because an infamous Mursaat Rally happened there (google it), so in totality, there is a whole lot of GW1 references that can be made with a lot of the areas being opened up. Ultimately, being able to place the dragons resurrection point will be key in figuring out which pieces of maps we’ll see.

Still, speculation aside, we’ll be better off waiting to see what happens in about 8 hours or so from this post (at the very least).

See you on patch day everybody!

I really hope we can see more of Mursaat and the Mantle. They are in my opinion THE most menacing and badarse villains in GW franchise.

Who know, maybe they walk among us and manipulate events the whole time. They can be invisible after all. Maybe even they colonized Divinity’s Reach as their capital city? Who would know? Or follow our every step, invisible, learning all about us while preparing for a devastating attack?

What’s that sound? Argh, there is one in my closet, I must reach tinfoil hat. Arghabarghaaaaaa… (sounds of Zwierz AKA Faleg being obliterated with spectral agony)

Just Googled the Mursaat Rally. I never knew that happened. Really cool. I hope this would tie in some how. Would be amazing if it did.
