Talk:Urn of "Heroic" Ashes
Sorry title is wrong, it's simply Urn of "Heroic" Ashes, without the "Recipe:",but I can't change it, someone do that if possible. 87.19.203.194 21:47, 29 June 2018 (UTC)

Who's ashes[edit]
These aren't supposed to be yours, are they? 23.24.73.37 19:55, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
- I... really hope not. Heroic is in quotes, so it could be from some random warrior. —Ventriloquist 20:35, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
- It can't be your characters ashes because they only died once in the story and not for long enough to be cremated, which is lucky because they came back to the same body. My head canon is that it's the ashes of a GW1 player character, and therefore one of my main character's ancestors. But there's absolutely no basis for that other than my guess that it's what they're implying with the 'oddly familiar' comment and I like the idea. Danikat (talk) 21:14, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- As Balthazar causes a lot of fire and destruction, they're probably just ashes from your battle versus Balthazar, not necessary ashes made of the hero himself. She's a big fan, anyway. - — Cronos 00:41, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- I think that it would be very strange for her to make a link between the two characters, it would be like us linking The white death with admiral Yi. Ashes from our fight with balth on the other hand would make slightly more sense since Kesho is in the same map as our fight. But I think it has to be something specific to an event in the traditional Prophet's Path area (where Kesho is located). --Doctor Refrence (talk) 00:52, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- Given she believes it's from Kesho: There is an event in the area around Augury Rock to help a Charr cub gather evidence that people are being scammed into buying fake artifacts/relics. My assumption was that this is one of those scam items, and I kinda hoped there would be a way to find out and get this piece cheaper.TehAnomaly (talk) 14:39, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Could this be? https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Althea%27s_Ashes 47.186.45.73
- Except that's already an ascended item, and Althea didn't die anywhere near Kesho, nor in a battle. 209.6.141.170 01:56, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
When the commander died the body was left there to rot, it didn't burn, so it could be the ashes from Balthazar's attacks on the environment, or from another hero of the past, and the 'familiarity' could be the same one Kimmes the Historian recognizes from your soul.

It's Turai Ossa. Here's the reasoning (no stretching required).
- A legendary battle in the Crystal Desert (perhaps the only one) was the war that Turai Ossa started against the Forgotten.
- Turai Ossa was killed in the fighting. We know his body was recovered by Lord Valodor, and thus funeral rites would have been given, such as cremation.
- During the after-events at GW2's Augury Rock, the ghost of Turai explicitly mentions that the player's spirit is familiar (due to the Commander's link with the GW1 PC). Even without this specific connection, the Commander would have met Turai at Augury Rock so there is still a sense of familiarity.
- In GW1, he was more commonly referred to as the Ghostly Hero, and thus his ashes are "heroic".
Turai fits all the clues rather easily and I doubt anything else would. Also, not directly a clue but this item was a reward in the chapter where the Commander destroys Joko. Joko was an ancient enemy of Turai Ossa so I would assume this was an intentional reference as well. 76.126.247.17 12:12, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
