Colin Johanson from ArenaNet summarized at the turn of the year what happened in the world of Guild Wars 2 over the past year. Guild Wars 2 tells the story of the fantasy MMORPG in its living world as a series of short events that together form a larger narrative arc.
The world lives with it and changes every two weeks like a serialized novel that is published at regular intervals. Only that you can experience this novel as the hero of Tyria right in the front row.
In early 2013, the Flame Legion along with the Branded caused trouble, before the Sky Pirates wove their intrigues in Lion’s Arch. The end of the Sky Pirates posed the heroes of Tyria with the question of who could be behind these dark machinations. They did not have to wait long for the answer: Scarlet Briar was the puppet master behind the scenes.
Briar proved to be a worthy antagonist for the year 2013. Her xenophobic plans took root in the literal sense when she even made nature turn against the united peoples of Tyria. Moreover, it seems that Briar is dancing at many different weddings: she is also knowledgeable about ley lines.
These are magical ley lines that stretch across the entire continent. When at Christmas the Flame Legion and the Branded returned and also turned out to be pawns in Briar’s master plan, it presented the heroes with further riddles.
Is Scarlet Briar simply crazy, or is she truly pursuing a devilishly cunning plan that will keep the heroes of Guild Wars 2 on their toes in 2014?
We are curious!
