you know, i seriously hope glint gets a new voice for GW2. shiro did, so why not glint? more "deep, knowledgeable ancient dragon" and less "crazy old hag in the bus"
LegendaryMythril Yep, not a fan of old Glint voice. Sounds a lot like khajiit from Skyrim.
That voice sure isn't great.
+LegendaryMythril Bush*
Sadly the current voice right now isn't that great imo. Every time I switch legends onto Glint she yells out in an old lady voice and says some lines in the cringiest ways possible and because of this, I turned off dialogue in the audio settings.
The Pale Tree is also pretty overtly prophetic. Interesting that the most prominent prophets in the franchise are both dragon champions....
oh my god
Astroplatypus Indeed!
Astroplatypus Would that suggest that Ventari's tablet and the Forgotten cleansing ritual use some of the same (or similar) magic?
***** Probably. She's the one who shielded the Sylvari from Mordremoth's influence, which is an incredible feat, requiring a lot of strength. We haven't seen its true form either because we only interact with its avatar. Its true form could be very different from its avatar.
Astroplatypus I think former dragon champions would be more appropriate but yeah that is a very odd "coincidence"
Well if Rytlock already has the spec... And since it might be called ritualist... I guess he's a RYTUALIST
Brutus Bongo Oh
My
God!
Brutus Bongo That made me fall over
Corvus well if you can't stop playing the Rytualist... I guess you're Rit-Locked
Brutus Bongo boo...
Brutus Bongo -_-
Mordremoth did not corrupt the sylvari... the sylvari are the spawn of Mordremoth... the sylvari were corrupted by Ventari after Ronan stole a seed from the tree guarded by monstrous plant creatures. Scarlet Briar is what the sylvari were meant to be and the nightmare court seek to remove the corruption of Ventari and Ronan.
And Glint was the spawn of Kralkatorrik. Was still cleansed regardless.
Theory: The baby dragon from Glint got corrupted by Kralkatorrik and now fulfil his duty as "Shatterer"?!
But Hey that's just Theory
Giorne Ganz A GAME THEORY
WELCOME BACK TO END CARD TOURNAMENT
Dang glad that didn’t happen
Always seem to enjoy your lore videos a great amount. Thanks for making them and this.
What I'm getting from this is that it could very well be that Glint was the one who showed Rytlock how to channel legends from the mists. It'd fit well with her previous actions where she puts the right people and knowledge in play. Rytlock gets her power, Caithe gets her egg... Could it be that the new Guardian elite specialization is called Dragonhunter because of Glint as well? Logan is a guardian...
The opening cenematic of Glint sent shivers down my spine!
Such nostalgia :o
UA-cam randomly recommending me this video so many years later and it is quite interesting how, for example, at 18:20 , you go over what went on with LWS2, and pretty much hit the nail on the head with what happened since with the story - with Aurene being there to balance all the magic of the world after each dragon death. Sweet sweet~
Wonderful lore video WP just wonderful. As to the Elite Spec name, I really don't see Flameseeker being a choice since that prophecy was fulfilled, I can see some sort or Mist themed name for it like Envoy as mentioned in another comment, or perhaps Mist Warden taken form a title earned from Hall of Monument rewards. Guess we'll find out Friday now. As for what Glint may have perhaps of hidden in the Jungle for us to find aside from the baby we saved back in GW1 we will find the Forgotten as you mentioned, but in a new form. What will the chances be if the Exalted (when maxing out their mastery) turn out to be descendents of the Forgotten?
I love your lore videos. I look forward to the next one!
Thanks alot for this awesome and informatic video WP. As you speculate about the name of this Elite Specilisation i really liked the fact that you mentioned Oracle as the Elite Specilisation. I recently finished the second Book of Guild Wars 2 and it said that Glint is indeed an Oracle and i would love to make this thing a thing , you know :D Thanks again for these great videos youre putting out. I don't have any time to play GW1 ( although i have it ) and these little bits of lore is really really great to have. Thanks Alot WP !
Perhaps that's where Caithe went. She took Glint's egg to Glint's child. I mean it's clear in GW1 that it had survived. Maybe it's been hiding in the Maguma Jungle/Wastes all this time. It's a far fetch theory, but and interesting one I think.
Rytlock, the Flameseeker
A Revenant wielding the Flameseeker Prophecies.... God yes! :D
time to grind zzzzzzz
Always look forward to your videos!!! ❤️❤️
A revenant channeling glint with the flameseeker's prophecies shield. Yeah, that's almost too good to pass up.
Thanks for the video! ive been dying to know more about Glint, and this was perfect!
On another note, one of these days i MIGHT get my Theif spec... one day!
What if the young dragon is the Shatterer?
I don't think we can only channel glint. Rytlock uses shiro skills, and staff on the launch trailer, so that kinda undermines the single legend focus for the mechanics.
But all in all, i don't know what they could add. Maybe a F3 where you get like a mesh of both equipped legends? Or maybe it doesn't really change anything deeply, just something like Tempest where you get a "deeper" connection with your legend and you can actually summon it in the form of an attack (kind of what Rytlock does in the in-game cut-scene with glint).
It was fun doing the mission with you WP!
What is this, a Guild Wars lore video? I was told this would never happen!
There might be a parallel with the pale tree with her/it protecting the the Sylvari, somehow the seed must have been cleansed of Mordremoth's corruption
Something that I had to test was I rolled up a thief for the beta. I then used Poison Share and Basilisk Venom. In the event where the husks marched up the stairs the Revenant hammer knock down did 25% of the the break bar, the main hand sword chill did 10%, but the Pistol/Pistol Thief with Basilisk Venom shared with a Memser wielding a greatsword ate through 100% in under a second.
A bit sad that it wasn't one of the current professions, but at least we got some WP lore.
Nice video. Made me feel nostalgic.
That end clip was perfect for this.
Since you named the Lunar New Year Fireworks they went up like from 65 c -> 85 c in price and rising fast. I am so thankful for this since I own 80% of all those in the game as a long term HoT investment.
I just got the shield this past weekend. It is beautiful.
WoodenPotatoes WP, the background art at 15:30 looks exactly like the Tyria 3D Dragon that was mined!!!
Also in one of the books I believe in EoTN or in GW2 Priory the book says:
We believe we can make it (her; Glint) an Elder Dragon. I believe the Brotherhood of The Dragon were trying to help Glint become an Elder Dragon to have that power on their side, or at least combat Kralkatorrik.
gawd I have 4 characters, and none of them have had there elite revealed yet, I was so sure I'd get one this week, when I found out that it was revenant my balls felt like they had been curbstomped
It would be really cool if you make a video talking about the guild wars 1 & 2 lore! :D
Still never told us in game WHO actually gave the egg to the master of peace. We can have dialogue with Stonehealer, and he say's something along the lines of "someone we've met before," or "someone who will be revealed to us soon," can't remember which lol. But they never say a name, that I am certain. Perhaps it is this "E" person we keep getting messages from? Though it sounds like E does dealings more with Human issues, rather than mystical-elder-dragon-secrets stuff...
Elona established a colony in Kryta and later people that travelled to Kryta from Elona started calling them Krytans and broke free? Well this sounds familiar.
I've only recently read sea of sorrows and edge of destiny but hearing you read that excerpt was so strange. Even it someone's had this spoiled for them I'd recommend both books, sea of sorrows more so
Yay! I'm so glad that right after the beta they are swinging right back into more news...
A little weird that we are getting the rev spec 5th but I love revenant so no complaints here!
Awesome video! Good work, WP.
I only remembered the EotN baby mission when doing the Zephyrite living world stuff. So I knew it had a connection but, holy shit, much further/deeper than that!! Very interesting to hear how it all ties together. Thank you!
Wonder if GW2 Flameseeker Prophecies legendary had an impact on Revenant's elite weapon choice :O Just realized how fitting it is.
Can we have longer videos lol love your vids
yay lore video
Flameseeker would be an awesome Elite Spec for Ritualist.
...or maybe Dragonheeder to compliment the Guardian's Dragonhunter. :P
Nice video !
I might not be the only one who'd ever ask but, could you do a video about Kalla Scorchrazor?
Btw. Does anyone know if the Shiro voice actor in Gw2 is the same as in Gw1?
And one more qustion. Since we can hear ambient talk from the Itzel and Nuhoch. Does that mean they speak new Krytan? Because we can understand them, but when we go to the special vendors, we can't?
What about Envoy for the Revenant Elite spec name?
Just wondering if anybody can explain to me what the term "Canon" is. I'm a bit confused.
rythlock can be seen as a flameseeker, he sought out sohotin!
probably not the first time someone said this
also: dragonmancer :p
tracephage Might want to use the latin word for "dragon". E.g. Necromancer (not deadmancer), Pyromancer (not firemancer), Hydromancer (not watermancer) etc...
+Novumic Latin makes everything sound smart
Novumic what an oversight ;)
Dracomancer!
Novumic Except all of those are Greek.
Fire in Latin is ignis, death in Latin is mortis, water in Latin is aqua.
purpleisthesneakiest
Oh yeah... but Greek and and Latin do have connections. "-mancy" can actually come from a word from both languages. I think you can sub in either Greek or Latin and it would work. Although now that I think about it, it's mostly Greek.
Wiki GW
Glint, known as Keeper of the Flameseeker Prophecies, Protector of the Forgotten, Foe of the Lich Lord, and Downfall of the Titans, is an ancient dragon prophet living within a single grain of sand in the Crystal Desert. She was said to have been the first creature on Tyria, sent here by the Gods over 3,000 years ago to act as the world's guardian during its shaping, and was later given servants-the Forgotten-to aid her in this task.
I knew you'd make this video :D
the baby dragon is a mesmer as seen in gw1. A dragon with illusions would be real fun.

Never really played gw1 but I watched lots of your lore vids and since Rytlock is able to go to the mist and back to Tyria (not dead and resurrected or reanimated) maybe The Mistwalker sounds appropriate?
Dear WP, Where are you getting the concept art?
I was scrolling down my subscriptions and I saw the thumbnail for this video. My eyes were a bit fuzzy and I read "Glint" as a different word.
I wonder if glint and the other legends will acknowledge that they are also chatting with other revenants such as rytlock
You can use the Assassin skill Dash as a Gw1 version of superspeed :D
I'm still curious about her egg. I was expecting that to be covered during living world but there was no resolution to that :/
Why is it that for utility skills, there are 4 of a skill type (Trap, well, shout, etc.) for each class, but only 3 skills for revenant? wouldn't it make sense to have 4 utility skills for each legend, and letting you choose 3 of those to use?
Is there a way to read/hear vertraging of the story. Havent played gw1 and i really love to knows all about the lore. This video was a bit rushes for me. Couldnt follow everything.
I remember crying when i read this ... i never cry....
WoodenPotatoes What do you think about removing shatters from Chronomancer?
+WoodenPotatoes
Look at the background at 15:22! It's the dragon from the datamined map! :O
all these call backs to old lore make me SO excited for HoT!!!
Hey WP, what's the name of the song that's playing at about 8:00? I've heard it ingame but I couldn't find it on Arenanet's soundcloud.
blacktail It's the new LA soundtrack I believe.
I wonder what traits it would get...What if glints traits revolved around energy management and getting advantages specifically tied to how much energy you have?
Where can I find this music? Is it a video? A website? I love it!
I suppose I should clarify. Around the statue of glint.
Weird out there theory - what if Glint's missing child from GW1 became the Shatterer?
Throren weird theory, and I like it
Unlikely, Elder Dragons can seemingly just create new lieutenants to replace the ones that fall like Jormag's previous one Drakkar that got replaced with the Claw. Also Glint's child is probably free of corruption too so if anything he'd just kill it on principle if he did encounter it.
Throren Well, the Shatterer and the Claw of Jormag are in-lore referred to as titles and positions of authority in their masters' armies. This is why they do not have actual names, as well as the reason they die many times over.
You could, then, argue that Tequatl also dies many times over AND is a specific Dragon Champion, but it has the leeway in that it is an _Undead_ Dragon Champion.
lore videos 💟
The egg is likely the lair of the dragon in question.
I think for reve spec the best name would be a Phantom. Phantom always sounded more like a majestic kind of ghost thing, more tanky then anything else and more dangerous.
Would you like it to be called Chosen?
It's so weird to hear that part in english which i read in the second book only a week ago in german.
Need WP voice for the GW books on audiobook. He brings the story to life with his voice.
Possible name for the revenant elite spec: battle seer, since seers were one of the old races of Tyria.
Are revenants getting shields?
Hey WP, in this video you mentioned that Glint's baby dragon's name was Gleam. Well there's an NPC in Dry Top named Gleam. Coincidence?
Loved this video!
I miss the long "lore videos" like the one's you did for GW1. Are you thinking of maybe starting a new series? Might be nice as a buildup for HOT.
Wp pls, wy u not do dis...
Playing revenant as Glint with flame seekers prophecies...
I see what you did there Anet :P
Something I'm wondering about is if any of the mentors will die. I mean if one of the mentors (kinda thinking about Caithe right about now) died in the story, Anet might see it as a loss for everyone who plays that race. I can't help but feel like the mentors could be invincible because plot. I hope that is not the case because we'll reach a point where we just don't care any more.
WP could you make a vid narrating the 3 novels of GW2 :) it would be awesome!
So what if the thing Glint left for the players in the jungle is the ritual to cleanse the dragon corruption? From what we see in the trailer Rytlock opens the doors to what could be a gilded city or temple. It could be a way to free the Sylvari that mordremoth turned. If Glint could be freed than maybe there is hope for the rest of the dragon minions.
Pls make a video about ReShade :(
That teamspeak pling.
Glint maybe died, but she is with us in sprit...
I do wonder, Faolin and all the other Sylvari of "Nightmare" ...were they just followers of Mordemoth the whole time and all other Sylvari have resist thanks to pale tree? Is Caithe truly one of the good guys or is there something else more sinister at work here?
Idekaji I Always thought there was something sinister about the Sylvari... Although i thought it was that they were "Re-purposed" Humans changed in the Fruit of the Pale Tree.
Nightmare Court is in my mind almost certainly the Sylvari's 'Natural state' or a close approximation without their daddy's influence. Given that in HoT there is a 'Mordrem Court' and their dialogue implies that despite being minions the Modrem!Sylvari are still refined chaps compared to Risen or Branded. Look much uglier than Pale Tree!Sylvari though.
Idekaji Remember, of course, that the Nightmare Court is composed of many conflicting voices; the White Stag story mission in GW2 will show you this, presenting you with the task of killing a truly noble character in the Nightmare Court who could have changed it for the better, leaving yet more ruthless murderers alive.
Now consider that Sylvari of especially strong will are able to resist the Dragon's influence, should they decide it. What, then, is stopping individuals from the Nightmare Court from deciding that Mordremoth is naught but another manipulating entity imposed upon the Sylvari, treating it as scornfully as they would Ventari's Tablet?
Storywise I think the nightmare court were just explained as some kind of contra evolution. I remember that one quote from Faoline which was like "Ventari says the blossom is brother to the weed. Yet mother wants all of us become flowers"
So they basically just think that the pale tree does not act and teach young sylvari the way Ventaris tablet wants to tell them.
This is just what I remembered from the story.

Do you think we'll need to cleanse Glint's offspring before they are an asset?
It pains me that we haven't heard from her since Aurene's ascension to this day.
Wait... I thought Shiro is elite spec for revenant... or I got it mixed somehow :/
That TS message sound at 15:35, please D:
What's the revs special mechanic? How will this elite spec change it?
+ Reinhardt Coetzee Revenant use the Legend Mechanic which gives them access to ultity skills specific to the legend and their Legend's history. This gives them access to 6 utility skills, 2 healing skills, and 2 Elite Skills by switcheding between 2 chosen legends players have for Revy.
Each legend has a trinity role they provide with Shiro being direct DPS, Mayllx being Condition DPS, Ventari being the Healer, Jalis being the Tank. Glint is suspected to provide Shield to Revy so plenty of people suspect she is a Tank Legend as well.
Okay cool thanks for the informative answer :) I just thought that elite specs are suppose to change the class mechanic, and I can't see how this will?
***** Possibly Locks you into just the one Legend so you can't Switch, but will build up power faster and have abit more Utility/Control (Crystal Prisons, Knockback's, Stuns)
yesss
hey WP
I hope i am the First one asking you wheter or Not anet said there will be 3 legendary WEAPONS in the expansion if they only talked about legendarys they could also mean backpacks and we have already seen 2
and i know this is probably Not the best vid to ask this But i thought that it is probably read faster here ;)
the pale tree is slightly prophetic herself, giving the heroes in LS2 a vision of the future. It's not as strong as glint and I believe the pale tree doesn't see it as strongly as glint does - her's is also more vague; and I believe it is communed through the dream which she does not strongly understand herself. This seems to be a thing with "female counter parts to their elder dragons." The pale tree to Mordy, Glint to Kralk. The great destroyer didn't seem organic as she was a baby factory. As a lore buff, I'm happy WP.
Well now im glad i decided to make my 1st legendary to be shield, which im close to finishing, so this is good news for me q:
Hey WP, after playing in the beta, all my beta charackters have around 73% world completion. This made me curious, because we seemingly had every PvE map, and WvW does not count towords the 100% anymore. Do you think this could tell us something about the size of the expansion?
tharrock337 That was actually because the beta characters had every POI, WP and I believe vista unlocked. However, hero challenges and hearts were not completed
ahh. ok my bad. i just noticed after beta closed so i couldnt check.
Still waiting on ranger 😓
Matthew W Ik lmao
Matthew W Druid is the elite spec for Ranger, it uses a staff
Kendra Giannone We know THAT but I want details >:O
Matthew W Exactly, new pets? new pet mechanics? What is for to do druid what is are do it?!?
Matthew W T_T yes its my main also
dat glint voice o.O (Also I bet the deep sea elder dragon will look eastern style (snake like ) )
well, revenant means someone who has returned, supposedly from death. I think the elite might be named closer to eidolon, sounds pretty epic to me.
Maybe the mursaat and Glint made a deal, she saved them from the dragons and they granted her future sight. They are called "Eyes that watch all".
Klavak Khazga Mursaat are referred to as having betrayed the other races, leaving them to rot while they hid in another dimension. This was around the date of the formation of the Bloodstone, which Glint most likely hid away members of the races afterwards.
13:32 Yo WP you got a Teamspeak message
so revenant will have one spec less then other classes?
Mario Sonora The 4 Core legends, 1 not bound to a legend and the elite spec. So 6 specs like all the other classes.
