Haha! Kit the Traveler! Here, lemme get you a link to a recent thread she posted… Drats, she removed it already. Well, keep an eye on the in-game events board. Kit’s Mr Sprinkle is a dolyak, I believe, who travels around with her. Kit does these little giveaways for people who send certain items to her associated with a story she posts now and then. According to some friends who played GW2 pretty heavily, it’s similar to how Nicholas the Traveler (I think that’s what he’s called?) was. The username is pixie.5940, so you can look out for it.
Here’s a link to my DeviantArt folder that includes some screenshots I took this weekend. I’ve edited slightly to make the colors more vivid and the downloadable file is the size you wanted. Screenshots, of course, are not quite the same, and I intend to also make some scenery art over the next month regarding GW2. I’ll be sure to include some that are appropriate screen sizes as well.

Look for your gold in game! Thank you all for participating, and I’ll be keeping y’all updated on the progress once I get things squared away for writing.
Haha. It is about Zhaitan! Mordremoth is just being sneaky and trying to get in on all the action these days.
Looking through the entries today and will let y’all know the results by tomorrow afternoon! Thank you all for such amazing work! It is very exciting!
Congrats to the other winners!Time to stretch those creative muscles! (Contest is open to both EU and NA players!) It was originally in the in-game events section, but others believed it was better suited for here! Mods please feel free to move it if the other section was the right one! I apologize for any inconvenience!

In the Personal Story of GW2, we all experience the story from the perspective of the character who becomes the Pact Commander, Marshal Trahearne’s second in command, in the struggle against Zhaitan.
How often do we stop to think about all the characters who make the story possible? The nameless, unsung hero NPCs who fight so valiantly for our cause?
We cannot all truly be Commander of the Pact, so realistically, did the Commander really partake in every important encounter directly, or was he/she simply a guiding hand?
Who were the researchers, the spies, and the soldiers at the roots of every success?
What if . . . we learned their stories?
What if we knew their names, their faces?
What if we thought, just for a moment, about the soldiers we left behind?
What if the soldiers went back? What if they chose to stay?
When the gates of Fort Trinity closed under the siege of Risen Giants, did you shed a tear for those locked outside?
This November for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) (as a personal fan creation), I will endeavor to tell the story of the Pact’s rise from a different perspective, and I would like members of the community to have the opportunity to contribute. To this end, I am opening this thread for players to submit 5 short character “sketches” (approximately 200 words, no more than 300), one for each race. You may include any details you wish, within the word limit. (Each should only take five or so minutes of writing.)
At least 5 character “sketches” will be selected, and for each selected character, the player who submitted it will receive 50 gold in game. In addition, once the five have been selected, there will be a final contest between them, in which a panel of judges (to remain unnamed as of now) will select the best entry among the five. This winner will receive an additional 50 gold. (50g isn’t bad for 5 or so minutes of your time. :P )

Keep in mind, once you are given payment for the “sketch” you will no longer own rights to the character, including but not limited to the story use, the final version (which I will create), and its development. For this reason, I ask that you do NOT use any personal characters (such as those in your own stories or role plays). Regardless of this, I will give credit to those players who contributed so that everyone can see who the original sources are.
P.S. If I find myself unsuccessful during the month, then at least that’s still 300g out there in prizes!
SUBMISSIONS CLOSE ON NOVEMBER 4TH AT NOON PACIFIC TIME!
Winners will be announced the following Friday.
