Guild Wars 2

OK, this may be a stretch, but its just something nagging at my mind that I want to here opinions on.

First (and to me disappointing), the personal story, LS1 and 2 have all been about the sylvari and their roles in the world. We assist trahearne, canach, Scarlet, the sabatoger, and now caithe. Each one has either had a big influence or change in the story, or were the main antagonist.

Now, the Pale tree was found in a cave with plant creatures guardian it. It is assumed the Pale tree was to be Mord’s champ guardian to awaken it. But, what if, a guardian can use its power of awaken to suppress as well? What if the Pale tree was still connected to Mord and was keeping him at bay, though creating her children, training them (fighting the dragon in the dream) having them learn from the world, for the day her power fades and her army can rise to fight back the dragon? Not to mention, I believe the pale tree hides some knowledge from its children.

Trahearne was the first test, to become a leader and see if he can defeat zhaitan, he succeeded. Mord was getting tired of waiting, and the pale tree’s power was too strong still for him to do much, but when scarlet went into the machine, which mustve connected to Mord somehow, he found his chance and corrupted her directly, being so close. Thus, that jolt in the layline was enough to weaken the connection between the pale tree and Mord, allowing him to feed better, summon minions, and attack further away. But it wasn’t enough.

Enter the attack on the tree and to kill it, so he may rise fully. He only managed to severely wound the Pale tree, but his influence was able to grow more (as we saw in the scouting missions).

Now, this next part, think of the pale tree still having “roots” connected to mord, and by that connection the pale tree suppresses the dragon, but cannot cut those roots or it will die. Instead, mord has been chipping away at those roots slowly, and sorta “plucking” the tree from itself. And what can you do to a plant if you pluck it from one spot? Replant it somewhere else.

Hence the egg. The pale tree didn’t send us to safe guard it to hatch and raise it, she sent us to retrieve it and protect it for its own uses. Mord knew this, hence the plot to kill the master and take the egg for himself.

Basically this: the pale tree knew it was going to die soon, having almost or is severed from mordrimoth, so it is going to replant itself in the dragon egg, allowing it to live and continue fighting mordrimoth. Hence caith stealing it with ‘no time to explain’ as time was running short on the pale trees lifespan.
