Fort Marriner/historical

This article is about Fort Marriner during Living World Season 2. For the original Fort Marriner, see Fort Marriner (Memory of Old Lion's Arch). For Fort Marriner during the Season 1 finale, see Fort Marriner (The Battle For Lion's Arch).

After Battle for Lion's Arch.

Fort Marriner is located at the southern side of Lion's Arch. This page mainly documents Fort Marriner as it was during Battle for Lion's Arch: Aftermath until Lion's Arch rebuilding.

Fort Marriner was named after Commodore Cobiah Marriner, the founder of the rebuilt Lion's Arch, and serves as both the headquarters for the Lionguard as well as their prison, and the Lion's Arch base for the Vigil. It Previously held the Zaishen arena before it was removed for the asura gates leading to the Mists, though the Zaishen Order's training grounds remained.

The fort was destroyed during The Battle For Lion's Arch and is currently in the process of rebuilding around the debris and trenches left behind by Scarlet's assault along with the rest of the city. With the rise of Mordremoth, waypoints around Tyria were being consumed or demolished by his influence. Fort Marriner's Waypoint was one of the waypoints to be destroyed.

Ambient dialogue

During The Edge of the Mists

Liongard guarding the Edge of the Mists portal

Lionguard: I don't care who goes into that portal. I'm here to stop Aetherblades from coming out.

Lionguard: I saw a big norn kid chase a golem through this portal. Not sure what to make of that.

Lionguard: Lionguard jurisdiction ends on this side of the portal. If you go through, we won't be able to protect you.

Conversations of Sheriff Siriam and Canach

Sheriff Siriam: So, Canach, why didn't you escape with Mai Trin|Mai? In all this confusion, it would have been easy for you.

Canach: Scarlet's forces didn't even glance my way. I should be offended, but for once I'm glad to have been overlooked.

Canach: Yes, Scarlet and I share a certain...fixation on self-determination, but we are not natural allies.

Canach: I seek to define my role in this world. She seeks to tear this world down and use the rubble as her throne.

Canach: I've seen eyes like hers...in the mirror. She's not in control. Whatever drives her is destroying her day by day from within.

Canach: But the truth is, I did not wish to escape. I've made more than my share of mistakes already.

Caanch: I'm determined to serve my time and pay my debt. And even more determined not to put myself in this position again.

Sheriff Siriam: I take full responsibility for the breakout. My deputies are beyond reproach. They kept things from being much worse.

Sheriff Siriam: It all happened so fast. Scarlet's minions were everywhere. They had our back to the wall from the very beginning.

Sheriff Siriam: One of them broadcast Scarlet's voice. She said, "Vacation's over, Mai. I have work for you in the Mists.

Sheriff Siriam: The invaders took Mai to a portal outside. They had to fight past a squad of Lionguard to get there. And two strangers.

Sheriff Siriam: A golem and a norn lad with a fearsome mace. After Mai entered the portal, the golem went after her.

Sheriff Siriam: The norn shouted for it to stop, but it wouldn't. It declared "Leave me alone! I know what I'm doing!" and actually ran faster.

Sheriff Siriam: Canach continues to be a model prisoner. I hope that means he learned something after the debacle on Southsun Cove.

Canach: I am here until my time is served or someone buys my billet. Given my popularity, I expect to serve the full sentence.

Canach: Incarceration is hard. I don't mind the isolation, but the children chanting "karka killer" grows tiresome.

Canach: A Southsun settler contacted me recently. She thanked me for my efforts, but decried my methods. I know how she feels.

Before Lion's Arch Rebuilt

During late reconstruction

Consortium Surveyor: Did you change targets?

Conversations on the parapets of Fort Marriner

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Parts of the city are still unsafe. But once we fix—

Citizen: I'm tired of excuses, Magnus. The city's a wreck. If you can't get Lion's Arch on its feet, you're going to wake up and find this a ghost town.

Captain Ellen Kiel: Who was that?

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: One of the hungry. Jobless. In mourning. And her anger is going to have company when we bring more of them back in.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: We're not ready for this. We've barely started to make the city livable again.

Captain Ellen Kiel: Then today is your lucky day. I've brought you some help.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: So, this floating trash can...is a refugee?

Captain Ellen Kiel: More than that. We've got ourselves a hero.

Hero-Tron: Bzzt. Hero. Accessing—monicker—protocol. Reformatting—primary—identity.

Captain Ellen Kiel: This golem healed the wounded. He stormed Scarlet's platforms with us, and without weapons.

Captain Ellen Kiel: And now the Seraph want to take him away for "helping Scarlet" when he did nothing of the sort.

Hero-Tron: Bzzt. This—unit—is—now—designated—Hero-Tron.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Whatever. Kiel vouches for you, and that's good enough for me. I'll find a use for you.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: As head of the Lionguard, and member in good standing of the Captain's Council, I proclaim Hero-Tron a free citizen of Lion's Arch.

Captain Ellen Kiel: Seconded. Consider yourself home, golem.

Hero-Tron: Happiness—mode—engaged. Victory—gyrations—in...3...2...1...

Hero-Tron: Query: What—will—be—done—about—the—Seraph?

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: They can walk the plank.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Divinity's Reach has the time to hunt for a golem, but it doesn't have time to help Lion's Arch when Scarlet attacks?

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: And after this city hosted a relief effort for them during Wintersday?

Captain Ellen Kiel: What Magnus is saying is, I don't think you have to worry about the Seraph anymore.

Hero-Tron: What—if—they—come—to—reclaim—this—unit?

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: I'll sign their extradition with a torch.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: So, if you're going to be my aide, I have to ask. What exactly do you...do?

Hero-Tron: This—unit—is—programmed—with—a—variety—of—skills—ranging—from—

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Look, we're going to have a lot of people coming back without homes or jobs.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: No jobs mean lots of idle hands. I can handle a little crime. This city was founded on it. But riots? They'll end everything.

Captain Magnus the Bloody-Handed: Can you help people get back to work?

Hero-Tron: I—can—do—that.

Evon Gnashblade: There he is, the hero of the hour. So, my son, how did it go?

Hero-Tron: Error: This—unit—is—not—your—offspring.

Evon Gnashblade: It's a term of affection. Now, answer the question.

Hero-Tron: For—this—unit's—service—during—Scarlet's—termination, this—unit—was—granted—amnesty—and—employment—with—the—Captain's—Council.

Hero-Tron: This—unit—will—have—a—revenue—stream—to—repay—this—unit's—debt—to—you. Our—transaction—will—be—complete.

Evon Gnashblade: Complete? Oh, no. No, not at all. I saw your ID number when I was installing the combat chassis before your rumble with Scarlet.

Evon Gnashblade: Traced it back to the source. Consortium. Seems they ran into some trouble on Southsun a while back.

Evon Gnashblade: Involuntary servitude. An unsafe workplace. Substandard living quarters. And at the center of it all, a little golem named Job-o-Tron.

Evon Gnashblade: It'd be a shame if Magnus's new golden boy was linked to such nasty business. Why, with the situation in the city, well... They'd dismantle you.

Evon Gnashblade: So keep on listening. And keep on coming back to me with all the juicy tidbits.

Evon Gnashblade: And don't you dare cross me. You can run, but you'll never run far enough.

Lionguard Brenn Hillow and Lionguard Quatta patrol (full patrol dialogue)

Lionguard Quatta: Your first patrol. Think you're ready?

Lionguard Brenn Hillow: The armor, it's so heavy. I don't... I don't remember my route. I don't... I can't...

Lionguard Quatta: Stop thinking about all that. The most important thing about being a Lionguard is projecting confidence. People here are tired, scared, unsure. They have to know someone's looking out for them. They see you shaking, they'll think the world's gonna fall down around their ears again. Walk tall, observe everything and look people in the eye when you talk to them. The rest will take care of itself. Ready?

Lionguard Brenn Hillow: (deep breath) Ready.
