Hey there,
This is something really small and completely unimportant, and I’m not sure if peole already pointed it out, but I just thought it would be nice to come out with it.
One of my alts wandered in the Durmand Priory instance, and when I walked into the library/archives, I noticed that there was a book about Ley Lines and Scarlet.
Ley Line Theory #671 by Verzatt, College of Dynamics
The existence of ley lines has long been theorized, and they have had many names. in 1316, a sylvari named Ceara (alias Scarlet Briar) found proof.
My own research supports the hypothesis that ley lines are currents of moving magical energy within the great sea of the Eternal Alchemy
Magic, like air or water, supports life and surrounds us as air surrounds land-based creatures and water surrounds aquatic creatures.
But it is not stagnant. it ebbs and flows in currents that swirl about us, unseen and unfelt.
There is evidence that the paths of these ley lines can be disrupted and changed just as the path of a river can be changed when obstructed.
There’s also a second book called:
Scarlet Briar: a Brief by Priory Scholar Donn
Scarlet Briar: 1304-1327 (Sylvari, Cycle of Day)
Her name upon awakening was Ceara, which she eventually rejected along with her roots.
She worked with each of the asuran colleges, allowing them to study her cognitive abilities while introducing her to advanced asuran philisophies and knowledge.
Other mentors trained her in more technical skills, including Beigarth, a norn who now lives in Hoelbrak.
Following her time with an asura named Omadd, she took the self-made name of Scarlet Briar and severed her ties to the Pale Tree and the Dream.
This is all to be found about her in there, I’m not sure if this is new news but I am happy that I found it.
