    First let me say that I'm a new subscriber to your channel, so I haven't yet experienced more than just a handful of your wonderful videos, but . . . . . I am almost speechless after watching this masterpiece! I can't imagine you creating something that tops this video, it is gorgeous, and so well edited and written, I would think that not even Anet, with all of its monetary and artist/writer resources could have done better. Well done seems so underwhelming as a response to this work of art you have created. I can't wait to view more of your work, and as someone who is preparing to begin creating my own very different type of GW2 UA-cam content, you are a true inspiration. Thank you!

    Thanks for these archives . It has been a long long time when I participate in the events of Tyria in GW1. I was young and couldn't graps most of what was going on. Thanks to your records I can now piece together a long lost legendary event. Many thanks 🙏🏽.

    This is kind of like watching those old SWTOR lore videos Bioware put out before or around when they released the game!! This is excellently done. I can tell a lot of work went into these, immersing me into one of my favorite story-lines in GWs.

      I did re-arrange the order of some of the events, to make it flow better. When aid was requested from the rest of Tyria for example. I also missed out the Vabbi Merchant princes' refusal to fight and their retreat to the hidden city, i do not think it was needed really, to get the basic story across. At least I hope not!! >.< /hugs 💜

    It is helpful to note that the Lich and Shiro actually got to the Realm of Torment through respectively unique means. The undead vizier's spirit got there the same way the Titans got out, through the Door of Komalie, and Shiro was discarded there by the envoys following his defeat in Factions. Most likely, it is at this point that Abbadon and his servants approached them to bring them into the fold properly, resulting in the heroes in Nightfall encountering both as guardians of the dark master.

    • @FornaxTheHerald
      @FornaxTheHerald  7 років тому +2

      I may well do a lore vid about Factions, I love the idea of the envoys and loved playing the original game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here.

    • @Brv117
      @Brv117 7 років тому +2

      Actually, Shiro and Vizier Khilbron were already touched and manipulated by Abbadon. The Vizier was possessed/influenced by Abbadons demon, Razakel and is the reason he read from the Forbidden Scrolls that sank Orr. Shiro was manipulated and corrupted by a servant of Abbadon, and that's why he slaughtered the Emperor of Cantha at the Harvest Temple which resulted in the Jade Wind.

    • @FornaxTheHerald
      @FornaxTheHerald  7 років тому

      I did cover Vizier Khilbron in another lore episode but I have not done one for Shiro yet.

    • @Yoda7676
      @Yoda7676 7 років тому

      specter of Jutu later reveals that Khilbron was not simply coerced into using the magic but had also been converted to the worship of Abaddon prior to the Cataclysm.

    That said, I have an advice for you... imho you should have used Nightfall footage when speaking about Istan, Kamadan and other areas of Elona.

    • @FornaxTheHerald

    If it's possible what do you think is the best ranged profession in guild wars 2?

    • @FornaxTheHerald
      @FornaxTheHerald  7 років тому

      The most dmg output?

    • @axelshadowclaw1175
      @axelshadowclaw1175 7 років тому

      The Krytan Herald well to be more specific I am only a free to play player and since I like the guardian's support capability I only have one more slot for a more damage oriented class and to make it even more challenging I'm trying to find a ranged type profession, with the exception of mesmer because I didn't like the butterflies effect and illusions, the engineer's kits seems confusing to me, though I might buy the expansion once I got enough spare money I just want an alternative gameplay from the playstyle of melee/support

    • @FornaxTheHerald
      @FornaxTheHerald  7 років тому

      Sceptre & torch for Guardian are viable ranged weapons. Also try the Elementalist staff - its all about ranged and has strong mitigation and control on earth.

      The Krytan Herald Well, the list of viable candidates is pretty short: A living human (or formerly-human lich) who has learned much of the art of warfare. Logan Thackeray? Marjory? Kasmeer? LORD FAREN?Don't make me laugh. Everyone else is too sneaky: Livia, Countess Anise, Valette Wi, E. It's either going to be Palawa Joko or the new Sunspear Commander NPC that's been fighting PJ this whole time, that we haven't met yet.

      RorreResuEht it was General Kahyet who corrupted Veresh Ossa, turning her to the service of Abaddon and it was the actions of Kormir at Fahranur that set in motion the events to allow the prophecies of Glint to be fulfilled. However the root cause was always Abaddon and his conflict with the other 5 Gods.
