I know I might be trying to see too much in it but… have you noticed the heavily clouded sky in the Silverwastes that we got now? I am pretty certain that it was not this way before Seeds of Truth got live. Also the bug with water splashes all around – it’s not a type of bug that would just randomly got into the code without any reason – as far as my knowledge goes (not sure if it’s applicable with GW2 as I’m not working with MMO games), this smight be an issue of a surface markup change – and such change most probably gives us hints about the future of the map. Let’s see:

1. We suddenly get skritt building a SHIP inm the caves under the Silverwastes.
2. We got ominous stormy clouds covering the sky, that as far as my memory goes were not in the Silverwastes before this patch got live.
3. We get an almost improbable bug on a map, that was here for some time, which showcases water splash effects, as if the whole area was flooded.
4. In two weeks we are going to get a ‘climactic ending’ to the season.

Am I the only one to think that Mordremoths rise will cause a giant flood or a tidal wave from the falls that will cover most of the Silverwastes and make it into a jungle?

Bubbles will leap from the seas and will have a Godzilla battle against mords.

Emissaries from Cantha will appear from no where with the help of Dwayna herself and will also engage in the battle of titans.

Lazarus the Dire will be revealed as the man behind the Wizards Tower and a mighty hero along with 24 other companions must come together as one to fight this evil on 3 visceral difficulties from normal, hard mode, and the new innovative “Titan Difficulty” with tiers of armor representing your accomplishments. Raid available for just about 864 gems per lockout.

EDIT: on a more serious note, was there a skritt with a name that was a play on Noah? I would imagine it would be a fitting pop culture reference.

If this happens it will be the most amazing thing ever. If it does, I think it should happen in a cutscene involving mordy rising from the ground and everything (what I really want) or possibly in a story step, but I don’t have any ideas on how it would be effective to do that.
I will really try to not expect this I case this is not what happens, but with the new teaser pics being in a jungle setting (and it is more than likely they will be for the season finale which I suspect will be a VERY long chapter with loads of content, given the length of the current episode and the one before that) I really can’t help but hope this will happen- if it does this season finale will be every bit as good as the season 1 finale which was incredible.

I personally think that the clouds have a different meaning.

According to GW1 lore, Glint was once known as Glaust, when it was the champion of Kralkatorrik. The forgotten (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forgotten) discovered a spell to free her from Kralkatorrik’s influence, this was done in what is now known as the “Altar of Glaust” in Arah.

According to the wiki “When the ritual is cast, beams of light break through the unnatural clouds above and through the circular architecture surrounding the altar”… and that’s basically what we saw in the pale tree vision, beams of light breaking trough the clouds… maybe there’s a similar altar nearby and that’s where the clouds come from..

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

But who would we be trying to “convert”? Glint’s child? Wouldn’t this child already be friendly to us by default?

Or The Shadow of the Dragon?

Or Mordremoth itself?

Maybe we’d be trying to convert Caithe? IDK yet IF what she was for personal reasons or a greater good, but maybe she’s been corrupted? Just speculating…

Someone managed to get behind the 3 vine walls that block us from an area in the map and there seems to be some kind of altar there.

“Don’t be discouraged, darling. You can’t help being inferior.”
