So when I was watching
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UimxbqUXpM#t=116
I found a very interesting thing. If you go forward to 1:56 you will notice that the ground is shattering on the ship, devouring Zojja and the gang, causing them to fall down into it.
Now if you compare that cracking on the ground just before the fall to 0:41 in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDpzAUWmklA#t=41
You will see that the cracking pattern is a perfect match. They do both show a cracking in the ground, and afterwards the Zojja gang falls into it just like Rytlock did when he jumped into the mist portal in The Dragon’s Reach: Part 1. If you continue watching a few seconds from the first video, you will see that they do actually fall through mist.
Conclusion: Either Rytlock opened a portal beneath them in order for them to reunite, or someone else did for an unknown purpose. It is safe to assume that both of the events were the act of a mist portal, and whether those two lead to the same place is yet to be uncovered. But what be do know, is that the Heart of Thorns cinematic actually shows Rytlock in Tyria for the first time since he went into the mists, and I am therefore sure that these two portals are some how related to each other in one way or another, and that both are mist portals for sure.

That… actually makes sense. A lazy writer’s Deus Ex Machina sort of sense, but yeah. I could definitely see Anet saving the DE heroes from certain death with “they fell into the Mists and now they’re back” trolling.

I think it just reusing visuals to indicate cracking and destruction. If you look at http://youtu.be/PJfXl_4mivw?t=48s you’ll notice rytlock is making the same pattern on the husks he’s killing. Unless he’kittenting them so hard that they went flying into the mists.

That’s not so far fetched either. If anything, Rytlock is able to hit things so hard the player is sent into the mists.

Even though the mobs aren’t a perfect match pattern wise, I do still think that another link to Rytlock is proving what I wrote earlier even more. (Unlikely for 3 patterns to coincide all in the presence of Rytlock/Destinys edge) And I mean DE-ish group falling through mist scene is not reused visuals I can assure you that. And a similar portal + mist is pretty much proof that it is the same portal type as Rytlocks.

You know, that would actually be quite fitting. Destiny’s Edge is saved from certain death at the Battle of the Silverwastes by Rytlock opening up another portal and sucking Eir, Zojja, Logan (and Trahearne too, I suppose) into the Mists. They then undergo a series of adventures (which we learn as part of a bridging LS release) before making their way back to Tyria.

It just feels weird with one cinematic you see Eir, Logan and Zojja hanging on to a falling ship as it burns in the sky.

In the other cinematic, they “blow up” instantly.

Yea, either an aftermath LS episode like the one we saw after the destruction of lions arch (which is unlikely as the season has ended and i wouldn’t except another one any time soon considering HoT), or they will simply show us the conclusion in HoT.
