I doubt this LS is going to end Scarlet’s storyline. If I remember right, I think the devs said it’s going to extent into and end sometime next year. Plus, the rest of this year is already booked. The second part of this LS takes the rest of this month, and Wintersday is going to take up December. I wouldn’t put it past them to add a small LS into next month. Whether or not it is going to be related to Scarlet though, is anyone’s guess.
With the heavy Pact involved in this LS, I wouldn’t be surprised if she is labeled an immediate threat to Tyria next year, and the LS is going to revolve around trying to take her out. A cat and mouse game of us hunting her and her allies down, as well as the Pact trying to find her headquarters.
- for example, what if one of them does die when the tower is breached?
That’s what I’m kinda afraid of. It’s like in all the war movies. The guy who always talks about his girl at home, or that they will all make it back, always gets picked off by a sniper of something. It doesn’t help my imagination at all knowing that Scarlet in going to be in the next patch, and she has had sniper training in the past…
I’m afraid Anet might actually make Scarlet do something villain-ish (the irony, I know), like kill off a liked character.
As well as being a detective and a necromancer, Majory use to be a member of the Ministry Guard. Unless the nobles of DR differ greatly from our own, poison is usually a weapon of choice to kill of rival nobles in court. She could have picked up a lot of knowledge on the subject, before she left the Ministry Guard. Different types of poisons, how they effect the body, how they are made, where they originate from, and how expensive they are.
If there was ever a suspicious death, or outright murder by poison, it would have been her job to investigate it and learn as much as she could about it.
Inb4 Faolain is in the tower working for Scarlet.
I wondered about that earlier, in a different thread, but with the NC having so many powerful mesmers; its hard to make an accurate guess. With the events of Twilight Assault, Faolain could be a good candidate, depending on what information Scarlet has on Caithe, but it’s still hard to tell at this point.
Though, I would never say Faolain would ever work for Scarlet. Work with her? Maybe.
There are some sex acts which disgust and horrify even the Sylvari?
Must…repress…“salad”…related…sex…jokes…
Scarlet’s Aetherblades already stole some of the Pact’s airships. I wouldn’t be all that surprised if they stole a submarine as well. She would then only need to either modify it or use it as a blueprint for her own enhanced deep-sea sub. All she would need afterwards, is some type of magical sensing device, most likely something like the Asura PS’s VOED.
As for how they Krait handled Scarlet having Obelisk pieces, we have no idea as of yet. I’m personally guessing that Scarlet went above the Krait’s head on the matter, and she personally went to their leadership first, the Oratuss. The Oratuss might have been enraged as well, but, as it has been said in the Krait’s lore article, they can be quite power hungry and manipulative. Even going as far to subtly change the words of their holy “texts” to twist their meaning to suit their own cause.
If Scarlet was able to get them to hear her out, most likely by making them hear her out, and she offered a good enough deal; the Oratuss would be able to twist their own religion’s holy text to bring the rest of the Krait in line. The Krait are fanatically devoted to their religion, since they were raised to be fanatically devoted. If the Oratuss, the sole arbiters of their faith, said that their religion supports this, for whatever rhyme/reason/cause, the Krait automatically would believe it.
I’m guessing that Scarlet was able to get to and talk to the Oratuss, even more so now that they are mentioned in-game, to form the alliance.
While the regular every day Krait are known to be steadfast xenophobes, the Oratuss have been known to manipulate the whole race by subtly changing their religious text to suit their own needs and power. If Scarlet was able to make them an offer they can’t refuse, one that would be very much profitable for them; I’m sure they would be up to negotiation. After of course, Scarlet had shown herself to be powerful enough where they couldn’t just take it from her.
Because really, what’s a few changes to the sacred holy text to manipulate the masses, when they, the Oratuss, get the possibility of their prophet(s) return?
The Oratuss. Tyrian’s original retconners!
I’m still wondering what the Nightmare Count is getting out of the deal, other than maybe the lulz of creating a giant hallucinogenic plant. That, and if Faolain could be possibly behind the veil that was hiding it. Unless, of course, that was the work of a very powerful Krait…

This type of thread doesn’t really belong in the lore forum.
But an evil faction allying with another evil faction still happens though. Even the Daleks have done it before, and it was the entire setup for the first season of the 11th Doctor. The Daleks allied with basically every other antagonistic race (including the Cybermen) to form the Alliance, and their whole goal was to save the universe from the Doctor by locking him up in the Pandorica.
Obviously, that plan backfired, but the scenario is still there. Incase of a powerful common enemy, people are willing to put aside their differences to work together and take care of the problem. Though, it seems it makes the villains look less evil if they do something logical, like an alliance of mutual benefits.
I always saw the mursaat as a group of protectors working their kitten off to stop the titans coming back and wiping tyria clean of all life. The mursaat didn’t push down into tyria and crush the other races and until saul created his “cult” that worshipped them with sacrifices they didn’t seem to care about any race at all.
Just stay out of their area and you’ll be fine. Its more like “why are those human thingies killing each other on the bloodstones? can’t they just open portals normally or something? I keep telling them don’t do that and they just bow a lot and nod. We really need a better translator than this saul guy”.
Umm…
The Mursaat were the ones that set up the human sacrifices. They needed a constant source of Chosen souls to power the soul batteries locking the Door of Komalie, to keep the titans at bay. While they probably didn’t need the White Mantle to that job, since they are a race of invisible super spellcasters, using them made the harvest of souls easy. They used the false religion to create a state of peace and order in the region, and the humans basically become cattle.
We’ve heard a grand total of nothing from Trahearne.
That’s because he’s doing a mountain of paperwork, as well as boring diplomatic meetings with bureaucrats to ask for more funds, at the moment. All the while, he is cursing the player’s name, and he’s thinking that they should at least be here with him, as his second in command, and not running around on vacation chasing psychotic Sylvari engineers.
Scarlet is probably trying to make an alliance of most of the enemy races. Which is probably going to be easier to do, now that the player races have a loose alliance themselves.
We, the player races, were able to take down an Elder Dragon. That has got to put a good bit of fear into the hostile races of Tyria. They are probably thinking, “If they can do that to an Elder Dragon, what’s stopping them for killing all of us?”. Scarlet is probably feeding into that fear, and she’s using it to her full advantage.
I don’t remember them ever hinting that the Zephyrites were the protectors of Glint’s baby in the BotFW LS. That was probably all fan speculation off the forums. They were set up as the spiritual successors of the dwarven Brotherhood of the Dragon. The only thing they were protectors of, as it was set up in the short story, was Glint’s corpse, since they didn’t want it to be used for nefarious purposes.
“What’s in the tower?”
Temporary Dungeon probably, like every other LS.
There, fixed it for ya.
If that is true, it won’t be totally temporary. It would probably be added into FotM later, like MF and AR are going to be soon.
Meh, I never really saw the Mursaat as the good or “for the greater good” type, because that would imply a level of selflessness on their part. They were always evil, to me, in the sense they were selfish survivalists willing to do anything to protect themselves. Sure, they were trying to stop the release of the Titans into Tyria, but they were only doing that to protect themselves, not anyone else.
From what I remember about the Krait, they don’t build obelisks to ascend prophets. The obelisks mark where the prophets ascended. So, unless one of their own already ascended, they are building the tower for something else.
Yes, I do believe they can make a LS delveing into the religious order of the Krait, but you are making it sound like that can’t be included in this LS. We know barely anything about this LS so far, much less how the Krait came to be possible allied with the NC, yet people have already marked it down as “Scarlet being Scarlet”.
The Krait are exhibiting totally unknown behavior by actually allying with another group, but instead of people finding that fascinating, and wondering what could possible cause that and the motives behind it; people have already declared it a lore breaking failure on Anet part. And i’ll repeat, we still know barely anything about it.
Germany did get far in WW2, by themselves, but they still lost didn’t they? The same goes for the Krait. They can cause a lot of problems by themselves, but they wouldn’t last against any allied force. Heck, they wouldn’t last against DR alone, if DR ever turned their full attention to them.
(edited by Erukk.1408)
I very understood why people are in such a fuss about this. Would everyone have preferred the Krait to stay as an evil one dimensional race? Because, that’s all they are at the moment. Their “we’re already superior to everyone” mentally doesn’t really lend itself well to growth on the lore department, because they already think themselves perfect.
But hey, who am I to judge. Maybe people would have preferred this to be a solo Krait LS. They could have made a small tower, in the middle of the lake, out of sunken ships and debris, just to show everyone just how evil and superior they are to everyone else. Doesn’t that sound fun?
I think I would rather have them revive the old chronomancer idea from the cancelled GU: Utopia. They could wear heavy bronze/copper colored plate, and they would fit into the clockwork themes the humans and charr have.
I can see Livia stepping down from the Master Exemplar role after a period of time. It is always a good thing for an organization to have a change in leadership from time to time, and she might get more flexibility if she is a regular Exemplar. The Master Exemplar usually has to stay within a safe distance from the King/Queen, incase they are even needed. If she stepped down to a regular Exemplar position, and the new ME was someone she trusted, she would be able to move around much easier, to deal with and investigate other threats.
Plus, the nobles and the Ministry might have had mixed feeling if she kept the job. Sure, she’s an incredibly skilled and experienced necromancer, but she’s also still a possible immortal in a very powerful position advising generations of royalty. After awhile, they would probably be afraid she would start playing puppet master.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but how does one exactly become a lich in GW?
That little line, trying to put a reason for Livia’s eternal youth, always peeked my interest. Her possibly selling her soul to become an immortal lich. We don’t know if that is true or not, but if it was; who/what would you trade you soul too? Demons? Grenth? Abaddon(pre-NF)?
And, are there more ways than one to become a lich?
@Konig
You forgot to add that Scarlet was the one that created the Pale Tree seeds. So, in the end, she winds up being her own grandmother.
If I could create one? Hmm…
I think I would make an Ascalonian Foefire ghost similar to Bria, the ghost in Iron Marches that had free will and retained all her powers she had in life. Only this time, the ghost would be a mesmer, and he would have the power of “possession” by overtaking and subduing the victim’s mind and replacing it with his own.
Since he’s going to be a villain, I might as well make him a bit powerful. Let’s add the ability for him to take knowledge and information from his victim’s mind, before he destroys it, and he can used such knowledge to perfectly impersonate the person. Might as well go the full gambit, he is also able to use all his host’s body’s skills to the best of their ability, as well as his own mesmer abilities.
So, no matter what his host’s profession is, he will always be /mes. (Like the days of old!)
His instruction would be a LS of him infiltrating the ranks of the Black Citadel. He would jump from body to body, making his way up the ranks, and leave a trail of dead, comatose, or insane victims behind him. This is where the player shows up to investigate.
Long story short.
- Player helps Rox and npc investigators.
- Main investigator leads players of a merry hunt of killing Flame Legion and Renegade “suspects”.
- Investigator leads player to Ascalon ruin, and has Rox clear out different ruin. He looks second investigator in the eye, then proceeds to kill himself.
- Horde of ghosts spawn, attacking the players, but mysteriously allowing the second Charr investigator to flee unharmed.
- Player returns to BC afterwards, only to get jailed. The investigator has accused the player of killing the lead investigator. Smodur allows the player to plead his/her case, but has to postpone judgement to a later date. He has an important meeting to go over the final stages of the Charr/Human peace treaty.
- Rox, after hearing both sides of the story, and smelling something fishy, sends Frostbite to help the player break out of jail.
- Rox and player rush to the meeting area, only to find it being attack by ghosts, and Smodur and the Investigator fighting in the center.
- Smodur cuts down the Investigator when the player approaches, and for the first time, the ghostly villain is shown raising out of the corpse.
- (Insert mesmer battle with a lot of teleporting, illusions, and ghost summoning.)
- Ghostly villain vows vengeance on the Charr and the traitorous humans for daring to embrace their swore enemies, before the players and/or Smodur kills him. His final words before fading away is, “You cannot kill what is already dead…”
- Cuts away to a cutscene of him slowing reforming in some forgotten Ascalon ruin.
Or, they can simply expand of Bria. She could very easily be expanded on into full villain status. She is even already stealing the souls of Charr cubs, so she’s more than halfway there! lol
My take on this is thatthe sylvari were always meant to be minions of mordremoth. It was ventari’s nurturing and tablet that changed the mind set and attitude of the sylvari to what they are now. The nightmare court merely want to become what they should have been and serve the great jungle dragon (even if this isn’t rationalized yet by the court).
Malyck kinda disproves that theory. He was born from a completely different Tree, that in no way had Ventari’s influence, and he is completely against the Nightmare Court and what they stand for.
(edited by Erukk.1408)
It not really Elder Dragon magic. It is just all magic has passed through them, at one time or another, in their cycle. They wake up, eat most of the world’s magic, fall asleep once they run out, expel it over time while sleeping, then they wake up to start the cycle over again.
As for what happens if we kill them all… That is still up in the air until we get more information.
@zamalek
From what I remember, though I could be wrong, the Sylvari can’t seem to be corrupted physically. Any type of physical corruption, which most of the Elder Dragons seem to use, causes the Sylvari to die and wither up into a unusable husk.
The theory about Mordremoth is that he/it is using the Nightmare in the Dream to possible corrupt them mentally, which would be the possible “loophole” to corrupting them. Once they have fallen into Nightmare, their outward appearance starts to shift into what we typically see from the Nightmare Court, and that could come from the Sylvari’s natural trait/ability for their outward appearance to match their mood and mentality.
Sadly, still only a theory though.
…No
…Just no.
…By all that is holy, unholy, and ambivalent, no.
Going by what Livia herself said, she’s not in possession of the Scepter of Orr anymore, and she only studied it for a matter of time.
…Whether or not you can trust that information, is another matter onto itself.
That’s nice.
15 characters
Well…
Zhedd could be amongst the (un)living. I can easily see Joko going out of his way to kill him on principle, and then bringing him back for laughs. lol
I, personally, don’t mind them using technology in the story, as long as its written well. Though I do get irked at times, when they use it like as you say, as a “cop out”.
The more a society advances, so does it’s technology. That in turn, grows our dependence on it, since it is just easier using the tech to get stuff done. Just because it’s easier to make a technological loophole though, doesn’t mean the storytellers should always use it. It severely weakens the story when all your problems can be solved with a press of a button.
Bottom line, technology has it’s place in certain storylines, like the Aetherblade attack during the Dragon Bash. It could have be handled better, like you said, with an actually interrogation, but I personally didn’t mind it. Actual magic needs to be used more though, since this is still a magically world, even if it is moving into an industrial age.
If they go with a tree root theme for Mordremoth, I can see the behemoths and/or wurms being possibly minions, or extensions of the dragon itself. I would find it kinda weird, if they did something like that though. Stationary dragon minions? Doesn’t seem right. Maybe if they can burrow super fast to chase after us maybe…
Scarlet’s short story has her being born at the Grove. You can even see the same mender that greeted her when she first awoke ingame, Mender Serimon. She then stayed in the Grove for a length of time learning in engineering. This is backed up in Twilight Assault, where Caithe says she met Ceara, Scarlet’s real name, before she took on the new alias, and she wasn’t impressed.
So, unless the writers want to jump through hoops to make it happen, Scarlet is not from an alternate reality.
~Ninja’ed by Konig. lol
You know, its very possible that Jennah was already killed by the Branded back in the noval. The current Jennah is just an illusion created by Anise to stabilize power in Kryta and prevent a civil war.
Or Jennah’s body is used by Livia to turn into an undead minion. So the Jennah we see is just a zombie controlled by Livia. Anise and Livia continue to keep this secret from everyone.
Just like it’s very possible that a meteor came down, in-between GW1 and GW2, and wiped out all life on Tyria. What the players are experiencing now, is simply a lucid dream that Primordus is having, having grown bored now that the world have been destroyed.
He decided to add in the Sylvari, because he liked the idea of a “Dream with a Dream”, and because he was running out of ideas. He liked them so much, he even decided to roleplay as one in the world… Trahearne!
Hope that Bubble is an Octupus-dragon
Sharktopus + Fin/wings!
I’m sure we’ll see them sometime in the future. Though, I wish they would work on their imagine more. I would very much prefer that the Consortium would be more of the ruthless corporate type, instead of the more bumbling corporate type they are now.
The Molten Alliance doesn’t use regular plain Jane technology. They use magi-tech, magi- being the point. It’s a fusion of the Flame Legion’s magic and the Dredge’s technology, and it compliments them both.
To the Flame Legion, it isn’t a matter of them saying they need to rely on the technology, because their magic “sucks”. It is them say, “With this technology, our magics are even more powerful!”.
The same can be said with the Dredge. They aren’t depending on the Flame Legion’s magic. Them joining forces, to form the Molten Alliance, was an alliance of convenience for both sides. (Brought to you by Scarlet!) The Dredge get some of the FL’s magic to build more powerful machines, and the FL got technology to enhance their magics and abilities.
If I had to guess, something really dark and nasty? I’m hoping Caithe did something like kill Malyck. Even after finding out his origins, she still saw his existence as too much of a threat towards the Pale Tree. So she tracked him down, and she killed him in cold blood.
Though, I very much doubt they would ever do something like that.
You’re forgetting she “thought” she saw the Eternal Alchemy. Since she thought she saw how the very universe works, she thinks her knows how to control and shape the very future. In her mind, it isn’t unpredictable. It is simply a matter of cause and effect to get to her desired future outcome she wants.
Also, we were able to foil some of her plans, but we don’t know if they are considered failures to her, because she could still have gotten something out of it.
She created the Molten Alliance, and she used it to attack Hoelbrak and Black Citadel. The attacks failed, but she was able to weaken their defenses and cause a portion of their populace to flee the area. More importantly though, she got advanced magitech from the combined technologies of the Dredge and Flame Legion.
She created the Aetherblades, and she got some Inquest tech from their partnership. She then used the Aetherblades to assassinate a member of the Captain Council and have Mai Trin take the empty spot. The plan was a failure, but they were still able to kill Theo Ashford, a rich and influential captain. His replacement was Ellen Kiel, having nowhere near the influence or wealth that Theo did. She also had her Aetherblades steal the hologram tech used for the Dragon Bash.
Queen’s Jubilee was her big reveal. She thought it might be fun to test humanity’s strength while they were celebrating it. The assassination was a failure, but she till had fun hijacking and stealing their new watchworks. Another new piece of technology to add to her growing collection.
The only big failure she might have had was maybe in Twilight Assault. The Lionsguard(and players) were able to take her shipyard. On the other hand though, Scarlet sent a personal invitation to Caithe, by saying she has her secrets to tell the world. Scarlet has Caithe’s full attention now. The shipyard might have been a big lose, but Scarlet seemed more interested in getting Caithe to chase after her.
Her plans might have been foiled, but Scarlet is always gaining something from it though. Whether it would be new technology for her to use, or it’s getting people to do what she wants.
(edited by Erukk.1408)
it may be that the current emperor is a good guy, but the ministry of purity have gotten too strong and made kaineng a ‘utopia’ where people are kept ignorant of the rest of the world/dragons – e.g. the earth kingdom in the avatar: last airbender series, thus, we’d have to help the emperor deal with the ministry of purity
I would prefer something like this actually. I’m not sure how well it could be pulled off, though. Some games just have a hard time pulling off a good political storyline, and it doesn’t help that a lot of gamers just constantly skip through plot filled dialogue and text. (I’m guessing all they hear is “Wah wah wah wah” Charlie Brown style.) So the game developers don’t see much point is making the storyline too deep.
If she is trying to experiment on the worlds, to shape the Sylvari into what she wants them to be, that is changing the world. Her using her huge army of watchwork, Aetherblades, and Molten Alliance to attack people, changes the world. Her effecting the events of a world at all, changes the world.
So, i’ll ask again. Why? What is the point of going to other worlds? You are saying she has this huge multi-dimensional army, a vast store of knowledge, and the power to fuel dimensional portals constantly. If she has that much power at her disposal, why isn’t she just using it to change her world. She obviously has more than enough power to do so.
As for Headmaster Omadd and Baelfire, lore is not lore until it is written down and made. There was always a previous headmaster of synergetics, but Omadd didn’t technically exist until Anet wrote the short story. Now that they have, Omadd is lore. He was there, and he was always technically been there now. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen or heard of him before.
Unless you have proof Baelfire didn’t know about the MA, the argument is at a moot point. Just because he didn’t say he knew about the MA, doesn’t mean he didn’t know about it. “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence”.
I would imagine that Glint was something like the Branded version of the Destroyer Queen, from the racial sympathy missions. A specialized minion that able to lay(?) eggs to make more minions.
Hmm, I’m not sure why you made up Pale Tree conversation. Also, while you used the alternate reality to explain how she got superior forces and knowledge, you didn’t really give a plausible explanation of why she would move to an alternate reality. Other than the generic evil villain, "Look at me! I’m super powerful, and I’m out to destroy you all!’.
The short story points out that Scarlet is trying to change the world. If that is true, what is the point of her packing up and moving to another one? Another world that might be totally different from her own? Scarlet moving to an alternate reality would take away all her motives, and it would basically make her short story worthless, because it wouldn’t apply to our world.
While I don’t mind the use of alternate realities, in some fringe(keyword) Asura or Mursaat lore elements, the use of it in major storyline arcs is a horrible idea. It’s the stuff that happens when a series is in its death throes, and they are scrapping the bottom of the barrel for plot ideas.
Hmm. If the Nightmare Court is from Mordremoth’s influence, I wonder if the Forgotten’s cleansing spell/ritual from Arah would work on them. Random thought of the day I guess.
Mallyck is a good candidate from the secret. Scarlet would have an easy time finding his tree, since she has a fleet of airships. Though, im not sure why Scarlet would tell Faolain about it. If anything, I would have think she would want to study them herself, away from any outside influences. They aren’t under the sway of either the Dream or Nightmare(that we know of). They would make an excellent Sylvari “control group” for any experiments Scarlet might want to do.
If I had to guess though, on what the secret is going to be, I would guess that Anet might pull the whole “Scarlet believed what she saw was real” path. Scarlet tells Faolain that something or someone is manipulating: her, Caithe, their relationship, the Nightmare Court, and the Sylvari as a whole, and its not Ventari’s tablet. Needless to say, if Scarlet can produce proof of such manipulation, Faolain would be upset.
Now if they can tie that into Mordremoth’s influence, kudos to Anet.
Or maybe it’s something a bit more Jerry Springer-esc.
Scarlet: Hey Faolain! Did you here the news on Caithe?
Faolain: What?
Scarlet: She’s secretly seeing someone new. I hear it’s pretty serious, and it’s a man!
Faolain: RAWR

It would be nice to see, if we ever do get to go too Cantha, is that maybe it has evolved magically. It would be a nice contrast to Tyria(continent) evolving technologically.
Considering every “living” story now has something that cost about the same as monthly fee that will be gone 2 weeks later… The only scary thing are people in denial.
Subscription is cheaper. And you don’t pay to win. Get off your high horse and stop sucking the kitten out of anets kitten .
So, everyone, including yourself, buys everything Anet puts up on the Gem Store (with bought gems), every LS update? I know I don’t. That’s the only way that the subscription is cheaper. Unless everyone comes down with a bad case of OCD or the “gimme-gimme-gimmes”, I don’t see the whole playerbase doing that.
Since I started playing, on the headstart weekend, I think I maybe spent 40$ on this game in gems. I bought a bank slot, unlimited mining pick, a pack of kite fortunes, and an armor set for my engineer. Everything else I bought with farmed gold, I then converted.
That averages to about 3$ a month. Ya, subscription would be WAY cheaper.
/sarcasm
Is it like, ANet made the game, so we must be eternally grateful?
They are allowing you to play said game for free. So, ya. A little bit of gratitude towards them wouldn’t hurt.
Though, if the players really wanted this type of frivolous content to be free, because they’re too lazy to port to town, I’m sure they would be more than willing to add a 13$-15$ monthly subscription fee. Then you could get all the “free” content you could want. You would just pay gold for it then..
…Like you can do now.
To me, the more scarier mindset is the “I don’t care, everything should be free for me” one.
(edited by Erukk.1408)
Not much. But we can speculate that Cantha will be the enemy this time around. 300 years changed everything.
Why would you speculate that Cantha would be an enemy? Just because they had a xenophobic emperor before they closed their borders? That isn’t much to go by, and like you said; 250 years could have changed everything.
We could speculate that elements within the Empire could be possibly future enemies, especially the MoP, but the entire Empire itself? Probably not. It would be too much of a hassle, because can you imagine an army trying to invade or conquer Kaineng City? It’s what nightmares are made of combat wise for armies: close quarters, poorly structured buildings (if that hasn’t changed), maze like design, dense civilian populations, resistant civilian populations, and it is large, huge, is every sense of the word.
Any invading armies would get eaten alive in Kaineng.
(edited by Erukk.1408)
Unless they add more lore later on in the game, I’m pretty sure she was talking about the Seer’s path in Arah.
When one dragon dies, another takes its place. We have 4 other dragon to deal with, and Teq the next Zhaitan. Kralkatorrik’s knowledge on these ancient dragons will be very valuable. Perhaps now we can put an end to elder dragons once and for all.
That is speculation, since we still have no idea how Teq is “evolving”. All we know is that its evolution is going to tie into the living story at some later date. So. we really can’t say Teq is or isn’t the next Zhaitan, until it’s confirmed or denied.
Plus, Kralk would never give us information on how to truly kill an Elder Dragon, because he’s an Elder Dragon. He would basically be giving us the weapon to kill him with. Truce or no truce, with all the other Elder Dragons supposedly dead, Kralk still needs to devour magic. That hunger is sooner or later going to make us enemies again. So there is no point in him giving us info on how to deal with the other Elder Dragons, since it would only be used against him later.
