Being a Guildwars 1 playing, I am trying to piece all the LS events together in some way that makes sense to me:
1.) The Brotherhood of the Dragon was an ancient order of dwarves in Service of Glint, who betrayed Kraklatorrik and was killed in the final battle of Destiny’s Edge. Before Glint’s end, we know she had offspring. There were many eggs in her chamber.
2.) The Brotherhood of the Dragon dwarves undertake the Great Dwarf’s blessing, turning to stone to chase the destroyers into the earth. The leadership of the Brotherhood of the Dragon transitions to the Zephyrites.
3.) Ventari plants the Pale Tree, which is somehow connected to Mordremoth (the true nature of this relationship is unknown). We know there are other pale trees. We know that the awakening of Mordremoth has some sort of controlling effect on Sylvari NOT protected by the Pale Tree (i.e. Soundless). This is also evidenced by what happened to Scarlet.
4.) Pact defeats Zhaitan, the dragon is destroyed but its power goes elsewhere. Tequatl almost obtains Zhaitan’s power and attempts to rise as the next elder dragon but is defeated by the Hylek/Pact alliance.
5.) Mordremoth wakes up, wrecks two forts, and makes targeted strike on the the Zephyrites using a soundless. The Master of Peace suddenly disappears and embarks on some secret mission.
6.) In Omadd’s machine we where shown the balancing powers of Tyria with each Elder Dragon being represented by an orb. Like the Gods, I believe that Draconic power cannot be destroyed but can possibly be transferred when one dies. Omadd’s Machine shows Pale Tree at the center of balance and the green orb expanding to consume everything. I believe this indicates that Mordremeth knows of Zhaitan’s defeat and is attempting to claim the power left behind. This would throw off the balance of the world.
7.) Mordremoth makes a targeted strike on the Pale Tree through one of its champions. After this battle, the Pale Tree shows the players a vision that will tie everything together.
My speculations:
The Master of Peace is no doubt hiding some huge secret. Mordremoth awoke and attempted to use the soundless sylvari to sabotage the Zephyrites and discern this secret. Whether he succeeded or not remains to be seen.
The Pale Tree’s vision shows pillars of light that resemble the power of the elder dragons forming into some kind of Egg Shaped object that the story journal calls and artifact. The artifact is housed in a crystal chamber forged in the likeness of Glint’s Lair.
My speculation is that the artifact is one of Glint’s eggs and Zhaitan’s power is being inherited by that unborn child.
In the Pale Tree’s vision, we see vines ravenously closing in on the location of the crystal chamber. I think that Mordremoth knows that Glint’s child will be the inheritor of Zhaitan’s power and is trying to consume the egg and claim the power for itself. The Pale tree also knows this, possibly due to its mysterious connection to Mordremeth and is warning the players to stop the dragon’s plans.
