I was in the lore forum and due to a song posted there I came with an idea for a living world series. I wanted to elaborate more here.
This is the original plan:

But first…

Legal Disclaimer
I hereby declare my agreement that all the content ideas posted by me in this topic are freely usable by ArenaNet™ in any type of content like(but not limited to) patch releases, books and short stories.

I give up my copy rights about this ideas to ArenaNet™.

You know how legal disclaimers have a lot of useless information within. Things like please don’t use this ideas to create nuclear bombs or to commit terrorist acts. Well, I think this one is no exception.

I Just wanted to fill this space with meaningless words to make it dull and boring. But since I’m getting out of ideas I will sing a song: Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow.

Now seriously… who’s the sick dude that uses a fantasy game plot to create a nuke?

Chapter 1: The Hoelbrak gathering.
The gathering begins and you can feel the mood in Hoelbrak. Songs, fires, drunken men all around the city.

  • Honor Bear in barfights. (pvp activity)
  • Honor Wolf by aiding the orphans. (item collecting)
  • Honor Raven by learning about the lore of the Norn. (reading and taking tests)
  • Honor Snow Leopard by exploring Hoelbrack (exploration, jumping puzzles, vistas, etc.)
  • Boasting Contest at the Great lodge.

Chapter 2: The chipped tooth.
A great hero raises from each spirit lodge. All claim to have chipped the tooth.
But no one knows who’s telling the truth. The sons of Svanir are not happy.

  • Finding out who’s the hero(investigation activity)
    The "hero" was an Asura that knew that a dented tooth of Jormag was all the Norn needed to go face the dragon. He's a whisper's agent. He dented the tooth with alchemy and very powerful tools. The truth cannot be told.
  • Securing the north. (dynamic events change in Frostgorge Sound)

Chapter 3: Bear friends.

  • Regaining balance. (a new path is added to Honor of the Waves in which you clear it from Jormag’s influence and Svanir’s presence)
  • A new activity location is put where the claw of Jormag is and only when he’s not up.(a balance game. Thin paths with wind and other hazards that can make you lose balance) You help building better defenses against him with that activity. It is cooperative rather than competitive.

Chapter 4: The ice beyond.

  • A new zone is opened north of Frostgorge Sound as friendly as Straits of Devastation, but with Jormag minions.
  • The claw of jormag retreats from Frostgorge Sound to this new zone.
  • You can spot Jormag flying from time to time to the north of this new zone (hinting the opening of a new zone in which you will face Jormag).

The full elaboration is in the fan generated content forum:

I think you mean agent of the Whispers since Vigils has no agents.
