Rytlock Brimstone, back from the Mists with a new magic, lowers his blindfold and ponders Sohothin, the price of the flame he unwittingly paid about to come due.

Messing around in Auric Basin, I found out how to get into a secret tower. This tower is very, very high up in Tarir, and is surrounded by an invisible wall. But, if you can get high enough, you can fly over the invisible wall and get access to the tower. I wonder if it's cut content?

Catri had a strange encounter with a fascinating cryptid during the fight for Tarir recently, and a guildie informed me that they actually have a Tumblr presence, so I can share and tag appropriately! GG at Tarir, have fun in Tyria! @moth-tea-merchant

(Many apologies for buzzing around like a crystal gnat trying to get the right angle for a screenshot, but it was worth it I think 😅)

Auric Basin: Tarnished Treetop

Thanks to this wonderful post I got to experience a little bit of "new" Heart of Thorns years after its release. Mindblowing how even in an unfinished state this place is gorgeous. It makes me wonder what the Heart of Maguuma looks like beyond what we get to see in the game.

Was kind of hoping for a friend who actually knew and cared about Aurene when I went to her nursery instead of...the guy who makes one liners that the commander barely knows

sometimes i wonder why i am the way i am, but then i remember that Guild Wars 2 Heart of Thorns came out when i was at the impressionable age of 13

have 1, 8, 24, and 27 for anwen, mayhaps? :D @kerra-and-company

Ooooooh thanks so much for these! 😁 Always super happy to talk about Anwen (especially since I'm trying to get back onto continuing the fic and I need to rekindle my obsession love for her to get back to writing !

1 / What’s the one thing they would save in a fire?

There's nothing she cares about enough that she'd risk her life going back into a fire to get...

But there are quite some things she'd be particularly sad about losing, and she'd absolutely grab on her way out, given that everyone is safe and sound, far from the fire.

The letters she and Trahearne exchanged — a lot of them dating from 1325 to 1328 unsent — over the years.

A few original editions from her library.

And a huge soft shawl Meryw knitted for her. 💙

8 / If they were an animal, which one would they be? Which one would they think they’d be?

It took me a while pondering this : I reviewed a few, called onto my teenage-'His Dark Materials'-fan-self and wondered what Anwen's daemon would be... and suddenly it hit me! Clever, loyal to a fault, ruthlessly protective, hyperactive...

A border collie!

Works quite well with her (shep)herding nature! 😁

I don't know how she'd see herself, though... As a fern-hound perhaps 😁🌱

24 / Do they have any phobias?

Her investigation and battle against Kellach left an indelible imprint on her, leaving her terrified of being corrupted and risen, to be used to harm the ones she loves. As such, risen, mordrem and forged stir something very uncomfortable in her...

(Guess a few forged and a certain god of war are gonna end on the recieving end of this infamous jump-kick... From a 12' tall Trahearne! Ouch!)

On a whole other level, @lilypixy and I joked a few times that she could absolutely not afford to develop a phobia to fire... Quite some luck then that the Judge took care to shroud a very specific memory of hers before Grenth sent her back... Not even a scar for her to remember Balthazar killing her.

27 / What’s their favorite genre of music?

From a very young age, she has loved ballads, love and adventure tales, simple celebrations of life and time passing by...

As the years have passed and she has written her own legend and bards now sing the tale of the Commander and the Marshal, the heroics of the knight and her shieldmaiden, the saga of the Dragon full of Light and her Champion, the courage, determination and friendship uniting this strange group of friends, this found family crystalized around the last Elder Dragon, she has turned from her once favoured genre to instrumental music... She is particularly keen on harps and cords, bells and glockenspiel... Sounds that remind her her daughter 💙

Tarir Aesthetic.

[echowilds]

rata novus is definitely my favorite part of the hot ost and it always gets the credit for the piece that Fucks Me Up (in a good way!) but. in a similar manner nothing has ever made me feel the same mix of emotions that auric wilds evokes in me
