Here’s my theory:

Rytlock completes the rite of ascension, with the help of Turai Ossa, in order to speak to the human gods. They grant him the status of Envoy so that he can lead the souls of the Ascalonians to the underworld, but this comes at a great cost. Seeing the human gods causes Rytlock to go blind, and his new position as Envoy means that he can never fully return to Tyria.

Interesting theory… but I can’t imagine a single Ascalonian allowing their soul to be brought to the underworld by a Charr… Like ever…

To add to Zudet’s point, I highly doubt Rytlock Brimstone would make such a sacrifice. He’s a living legend, a proud warrior and, above all, he wants to see his homelands restored, something which a sacrifice of that nature would rob him of.

He’s taking selfies.

We know he’s taking selfies because they show up on the twitter page.

Obviously he’s doing nothing relevant to the story, because otherwise he would be in the story. Maybe he’s sitting out the story because the story devolved into lesbian plant relationship breakup drama.

The real question is why is Rytlock sitting out the story?

My guess is Rytlock is just trying to get his sword back so he can attempt the ritual again.

But there’s a lot of other things in the Mists and I suspect some of them may be trying to hitch a lift into Tyria, either by helping Rytlock or simply tagging along, and that might have unintended consequences.

What? I have no idea. But my guess is Rytlock himself will be largely the same as always but he’s going to unintentionally or knowingly bring something else back with him.

MAYBE kitten gets real and the dead ascalonians finally disapear from the world.
No more ghosts, Charr can now focus on retaking Ascalon and rebuilding with their new human allies.

Rytlock makes the ultimate sacrifice however is saved from the void when we return to the underworld to confront Dhuum, after battling our way through the labyrinth, up the mountains, down to do battle with the 4 horsemen on the chaos plains. Rescue the lost souls in pit and conquer the Terrorweb queen in pools. Finally escorting souls from Vale and killing unrested souls 1 DRYDER MUST ALIVE IN LAB and finally defeating smite crawlers in wastes.

During the assault in the underworld, Jormag and Primordus take the opportunity to REK the world up some more and kill of lots of Norn and Asura. This sparks the pact into using their massive air ships (idk how these things fly btw some wizzardry seems to be involved) to attack these two dragons and the HERO player spams 1 and kills them both.

…….

After all dragons are slain it seems this was only the beginning and in a last resort plan the dragons fuse together and become a super dragon which wipes out the pact and all that is left is destinys edge. The fusion of the dragons brings SNaff and Glint back to life and DE assaults the monster with the help of the Human Hero player and comes out triumphant.

The day is won. Legends are created, songs are sung and everyone goes home merry and drunk.

I think Rytlock is AFK looking for more ideas to fill the gemstore

Seriously though, it has been so long since the last LS episode involving him that I actually forgot. That is engaging writing at it’s finest!

I honestly hope that we get a UW/FoW type dungeon with him being the protagonist involved, yet I somehow doubt that…the odds that he is forging new gemstore ideas has a higher probability

He’s roaming the Mists, looking for brave heroes who are ready for the big leagues and trying to convince them to step up to the plate and join the elite group of VIP members who enjoy exclusive benefits that “make like worth living”.

He’ll be back home as soon as he hits his sales quota.

Actually I think Ho-Ho changed his designation to Ho-Ho-Ziggy and he is serving as the link between Tyria and the Mists but only the Ho-Ho-Al can communicate with him.

While I’m enjoying the QL jokes, I think I’ll give a serious answer.

The sword wouldn’t have opened a hole to some random point in the mists, it would have gone to a point strongly related to the magic in use at the time. Basically, the part of the spirit world/mists where the curse is centered. It’s likely that he can see the curse of the Foefire there, as if it was a physical object. He might even be able to affect it somewhat.

This could be his one and only chance to find out what it takes to break the curse and do it. I think he’d consider that a higher priority than returning home is.

Rytlock is traveling through the Mists to get the sword back and complete his mission.
Eventually he encounters a moment in time reflecting when the FoeFire occurs.
Due to this he gets blinded somehow, but does manage to fulfill his mission.

The Ascalon ghosts aren’t a big concern anymore, the Charr can breathe easy now.
Afterwards he finds a way to the physical world.
At the worst he’s lost some memory and he’s traveling around the jungle to get his bearings.
At the best case scenario, he’s found some way to use his experience during the FoeFire event to stop the latest dragon threat.

The ghostly image in the trailer doesn’t have much to do with him.
Rather it has something to do with how we wibbley wobbley crystal-wystal’ed our way into a Glint facet. Now we can see ascended ghost people or something.

We can prevent the growing influence of the Dragon, but we now need some ancient artifact imbued with massive magical power.
Enter the flaming sword that Rytlock still possesses.

I can’t imagine them setting up Rytlock to “cleanse Ascalon” as it were. There are so many ghost spawns and dynamic events in the Ascalon maps. The technical hurdles to remove them and fill the void with something else are enormous. Not saying it can’t be done, it’s just a lot of work. It would have to take place over the course of half of season 3 or more. And then people would probably complain that they are just reusing old maps instead of giving us another new one.

Besides I think the ghosts have become a distinct theme of that region. They help define it; like how Karka define Southsun, or how risen define Orr. Each player race has a faction of enemy npcs fighting them in their homeland. Centaurs and bandits for humans, Inquest for Asura, Nightmare Court for Sylvari, etc. Ghosts and Flame Legion are the Charr nemesis.

I don’t think this is what will happen, but it would be awesome if Rytlock brought a ton of ghosts back with him from the mists and used them Aragorn style to beat up Bubbles. Why Bubbles? Because we need to introduce more new dragons all the times always. Then it backfires (kinda) and Bubbles eats all the ghosts, giving her (yes, bubbles is a girl) enough power to attack the coasts of Tyria aka just Lion’s Arch because it’s special. The good news is, no more ghosties.

So you are saying that Rytlock would not sacrifice himself if it meant that his sacrifice would restore his homeland? Sounds kind of selfish of him. Wouldn’t a great hero gladly sacrifice himself to bring about a change that he believes would benefit his people?

Well, I’m not sure what he’s doing in the Mists, but whatever it is has to have some sort of a tieback to the next release. After all, with all the teaser images they’ve been throwing out there with the words “Point of No Return” in them depicting Rytlock, I think something’s going to happen involving him.

Not to mention the fact that the next release is aptly named “Point of No Return” of course…
