Elder Dragon Zine Interest Check 2

Hiya, here to promote my zine interest check again. You can find info on the zine and the check:

>> here

I WILL BE CLOSING ON FRIDAY!

Im also going to take the time to answer a question I got!

Will you consider an expansion if there was enough interest?

So, the original idea of the zine is pretty rigid to 1 artist and writer per 1 dragon. I'd like to stick with it. However, if the zine goes well and enough people are interested, I'd love to do a sequel accepting as many as possible! Maybe something celebrating not just the elder dragons, but also their dragon champions! Vlast, Glint, Kuunavang, etc. I would limit to only dragons though, so no commander or a certain charr and norn. Sorry, haha!

Thanks yall! <3

GW2 people - Pitch me YOUR idea for an Expansion!

What's the theme, where are we going, what lore threads are we picking up on, what's the story premise, what mechanics do you think it could have.

I love spitballing ideas when I'm talking with friends so I'm posing the question To Everyone because I know everyone has some pet concepts floating around. As self-indulgent as you'd like, as unrealistic as you like, just throw ideas around, I wanna hear them!

The One I think I have the most rounded ideas for would be an Underwater Expansion. Picking up on the threat of whatever is terrorising the deep oceans, having some exploration of the Largos and bringing back in the Quaggan and the Krait maybe!

I love the sort of depths we get in maps like Frostgorge sound, and underwater combat has badly needed a rework and a tune up - there's loads of skills which straight up don't work and break entire builds underwater, and this would be a perfect excuse to try bring it up to speed. Maybe even make the underwater weapon sets function on land, to satisfy those who're after more weapons. You could make the maps a mix of true underwater and perhaps giant air bubble caves so you still had some land exploration even in maps otherwise set deep under the ocean. A map meta split with land phases and water phases. Additionally as personal bias wish, I'd love map event/meta design more like HoT. A map-wide Story with a few chains with specifically Build into the actual true Meta. I also simply love the idea of having a bunch of enemy designs based of the ocean and the abyss, there's so much incredible inspiration and interesting marine life. and biomes too! Give me a hydrothermal vent section in one of the maps, hell underwater 'water' in the form of brine pool 'quicksand'.

The Turtle might get some more use out of it's underwater, and skimmer would absolutely get spotlight as a skyscale isn't going to get you too far here - hell maybe even some speedy new underwater mount could be a fun addition to the roster.

I can see a plot being around trying to work with the Largos, The 'Terror of the Deep' being a danger and learning from them about how to survive the hostile environment and also convince them work with you to Hunt the 'Terror'. Maybe you come to the area of the ocean with the Quaggans and it's convincing the Largos to take them seriously as allies against whatever you're fighting? A quaggan companion character would be really fun, and you could easily bring back Sayeh al' Rajihd from the personal story given Largos involvement. I think not only would it be something very different in terms of the maps, which granted quite a few people might not like (thalassophobia reasons, or general Dislike of Water Gameplay reasons), but I think a rework of the underwater mechanics would benefit a bunch of places and it's something that really doesn't get touched outside of base game and maybe like, the Leviathans in EoD. There's so much neat creature design inspiriation swimming around out there, and I know so many people love the largos and even if not playable getting to see more of them could be neat! Also - it'd finally make all those legendary full people happy. A Legendary Aquabreather :P.

And a new suite of legendary underwater weapons since the G1 set. (and not themed pretty please make them all Unique.)

started typing another long post about icebrood saga but i’m gonna save that bad boy in my drafts because i have to go on a road trip in a couple of hours

but i will get this off my chest: i go feral over the implications that ryland was absolutely void-corrupted by the end of it from his connection with jormag

Some highlights of today, featuring: Mael's "Yup that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation", Numen's despair, Maol's void corruption and Jormag having an OOC moment

I might as well just be an Aurene and elder dragon appreciation blog at this point, but the final fight in War Eternal where you dive into Kralk's heart and go to a magical mind scape that represents kralk's torment from all the magic they've been consuming. As the true voice of Kralk comes out while you beat back the angry and paranoid persona, they say some very prescient things.

Kralkatorrik: Child of my child... [...] You are more than I. Death does not stop you. The magics do not torment you. They belong within you.

We know so little about Kralk from the previous cycle, all we learn from Glint is that Kralk knew something bad would happen to themselves in the future so they gave birth to Glint so she could see clearer what that nebulous threat was. All the anxieties that Kralk had did pan out, the mortal races of tyria did rise up against him, the exalted turned his champion (Glint) against him, death was the end for him and for his place in the balance of magic, the domain of magic he absorbed messed with his mind. Every one of those worries never touches Aurene in his eyes.

Kralkatorrik: Come to me.

Commander: Aurene, what's happening?

Aurene: I can...feel his pain.

Aurene: A million agonies. So, so, so much suffering.

Aurene: I can feel all the magics in him. They're not in harmony.

Kralkatorrik: My heart is yours.

Commander: Is this some kind of trick?

Aurene: No. I think he wants us here.

Kralkatorrik's Torment: ROAAAARGH!!!

When you first reach Kralk's heart he's already done and wants Aurene to take his place, the warring and bickering between him and his siblings is harmoney in Aurene alone. In his blind desire to be at peace within himself Kralk has been consuming random other energies, hoping they'd provide a balance somehow. But all of that pales compared to the child he accidentally brought into being, to Glint who could see the one path to freedom for Kralkatorrik in Aurene. At this point Kralk must know this, in the novel of Destiny's Edge I don't remember if Glint and Kralk talk at all, but if they did she would have bragged about her perfect daughter she would never meet.

Kralkatorrik: Torment is blinding. It lies. Its pollution steals my sense. It promises: destroy everything and the pain will cease.

Aurene: I understand, grandfather. We'll end it for you.

Aurene probably misunderstood here, I think Kralk was trying to describe the Void corruption, because the meta-event in Dragon's End in EoD against Soo-Won says things along the same line, let it destroy everything and the pain will stop.

Kralkatorrik: Your first words... I heard them.

Aurene: I'm not you.

Kralkatorrik: But you are of me. And soon I will be of you. Your mother assumed that my vision...

Aurene: She thought it terrified you.

Kralkatorrik: Nothing terrifies an Elder Dragon. Not even death. This you have already learned.

Aurene: I no longer fear death.

The wiki says Kralk's line about hearing Aurene's first words is when you're chasing him out of the mists and Aurene yells at Kralk to look at her. But I want it to actually be when Aurene is first born and tells the Commander her name. The fear he'd been running from for centuries finally had a name.

As soon as Kralk kills Aurene and flees back into the mists, only to be followed by the fear he thought he had just killed. He must have finally had to admit his end couldn't be prevented and started to come to terms with his own demise and the future Glint had been fighting for. (Glint does pop back up in the chase sequence in the mists to harp on about her amazing daughter).

From what Soo-Won tells Aurene in the post event of the Dragon's End meta event the Elder Dragons certainly fear death, just like any creature that can die. I think what Kralkatorrik is trying to do is help build up the future of Dragons in Tyria.

Kralkatorrik's Torment: THESE CREATURES MAKE YOU WEAK!Kralkatorrik: They are her strength.

Kralkatorrik's Torment: SHE BETRAYS HER OWN KIND!

Kralkatorrik: She is the first of her kind.

Even more evident Kralk is trying to be a positive influence on Aurene in his final moments in these lines where he fights against the torment alongside you.

Kralkatorrik: Child of my child... I only hope that you never have to kill what you love. Now mortal, return my blood to my heart.

Kralkatorrik's last line implies that at some level he was sad to have to face Glint as soon as he awoke in this cycle and learned of his physical weakness to his own blood in that fight, and when we trapped him in a mountain he knew we were using the same technique again.

Finally free of the influence on his mind, but in no way able to survive the ordeal, he wants to end his life on his own terms, a final bit of defiance to the anxiety that had plagued him since he tried to foresee his own death all those years ago.
