Random[edit]

Rose[edit]

Rose's Journal Rose was a sylvari researched studying the unchained Risen of Siren's Landing. She prefers to work alone, as she hates when other people are put in danger because of her. She disagreed with puting the Risen into cages, arguing they are not animals while being convinced they can reach to them by other means. She eventually gave up on this method, deciding to go further into the Orr island to study the Risen in their natural habitat.


Her research and fascination for the Risen ultimately became her demise, as she was killed by one of them. Dahlia was her close friend.

Toxic Alliance[edit]

A tidbit I wrote for the villains wiki.

The Toxic Alliance is an alliance made between factions of krait and the Nightmare Court. They built the massive Tower of Nightmares to create, test, and spread toxic pollen, eventually leading to the creation of the Miasma, a deadly biological weapon used in the Battle for Lion's Arch. They also experimented on living creatures, creating several hybrids. Remnants of the organization can still be found wandering near the ruins of the Tower.

Soo-Won[edit]

  • The documents describing the Deep Sea Dragon as inflicting terrors in the oceans, driving several species from their homes, have been misattributed by the Durmand Priory and others to Soo-Won based on the common knowledge of Elder Dragons. In reality, the horrors appeared after Soo-Won had left for Cantha.

Halloween[edit]

Shadow of the Mad King.png Shadow of the Mad King[edit]

Shadow of the Mad King wallpaper.jpg

500 years ago, a tyrannical Krytan king was slain by his own people, those who had suffered greatly during his reign of lunacy. It is said that this king's body was chopped into pieces, and his spirit was banished to the Underworld, but that he can return to the mortal realm for just one day a year on Halloween. Yet, it had been 250 years since the last recorded sighting of the Mad King Thorn. The Commander received a mail from Captain Tokk of the Captain's Council, asking them to assist the Durmand Priory, and that strange doors have begun appearing across the land. Magister Tassi of the Durmand Priory requested help to find the missing parts to a biography of the Mad King. To help, she provides a new device: the Candy-Powered Matter Meter, and asks that you first use it on the ghost standing next to her. The Commander proceeded to travel from ghost to ghost, gathering clues and pages to the missing biography of Prince Oswald Thorn. They learn of young Oswald Thorn's activities and violence that resulted in the death of his brother and first wife, as well as several others up to his coronation. Meanwhile, the strange doors across Tyria began connecting brave adventurers to the Mad King's Realm, proving that the Mad King did exist. Magister Tassi asked adventurers to continue looking for pages for a second volume, which details his continued reign of lunacy and terror on his subjects, another wife, his eventual murder, and the steps taken to hide his body. Throughout this searching, the Lion's Arch statue had slowly been becoming cracked and crumbling as mysterious energy seemed to be building up inside. Finally, the statue itself shattered and the Mad King Thorn emerged into this world. The Priory, however, fought him back and the Commander entered the Mad King's domain to fight him. Their efforts resulted in the Mad King's power being diminished, returning him to his previous limitations of visiting only on Halloween, and only for fun. Before Halloween ended, the Mad King traveled around Lion's Arch providing occasional games of his old pastime: Your Mad King says...

Blood and Madness.png Blood and Madness[edit]

Blood and Madness wallpaper.jpg

After a mysterious—and dangerous—artifact dating back to King Oswald Thorn's reign is found in the Nolani Academy Ruins nearby the Black Citadel, Magister Tassi of the Durmand Priory seeks aid in containing the object after it kills an unsuspecting Charr to prevent further loss of life. While Magister Tassi and the Pact Commander investigates the ancient artifact known as the Thorn Reliquary, Price Edrick Thorn, also known as the Blood Prince overpowers Magister Tassi's containment field and breaks free from the reliquary. Stricken from history, Bloody Prince Thorn vows revenge against his father, Mad King Thorn. By exploiting the Bloody Prince Thorn's weakness to candy corn, Magister Tassi and the Pact Commander manages to temporarily force Bloody Prince Thorn back into the reliquary in which he was imprisoned. However, as the candy corn in the reliquary room is too old and dry, the seal on the reliquary won't be able to contain the Bloody Prince Thorn's strength forever.

Determined to contain the potential threat from being released upon Tyria, Magister Tassi is in search of living candy corn. With the adventurers aid, Tassi acquires a living candy corn elemental to use in a prototype Candy energy rifle. Using the new weapon the team manages to coat Bloody Prince Thorns reliquary in a candy glaze permanently sealing him within the mad realm.

Shadow of the Mad King (2017 achievements).png Prelude: Shadow of the Mad King[edit]

During the return of Mad King Thorn after the death of Balthazar, two strange occurrences appeared alongside the addition of new Lunatic Courtiers: Palawa Joko's Awakened could be seen in small groups along the coast of the Sea of Sorrows and the Mire Sea. According to Brigadier General Kernel, these forces were sent after someone "kicked up a fuss" in Elona and Joko sent them in retaliation, however Kernel also noted that Joko was refusing to send the bulk of his army in such an attack.

With Mad King's Day ending, strange Mysterious Skeletons began to appear near places close to the Underworld, and various priests of Grenth had heard callings from a red lady bringing them there. These priests were all found dead, killed by necromatic powers and axe wounds.

Shadow of the Mad King (2017 achievements).png Shadow of the Mad King[edit]

Mad King Thorn returns and challenges visitors to once again take part in his army training as well as offers a new race around that arena. However, with his rival dead, to avoid his king's wrath Brigadier General Kernel tasks the Pact Commander with collecting trophies to fool the Mad King into thinking that Kernel's forces had merely fought Joko and forced the lich king to retreat.

Season 4[edit]

During the Halloween following the peace summit at Jahai, Brigadier General Kernel recruited the Pact Commander to aid with a scheme to gather various objects of "evidence" to make Mad King Thorn think that Joko was still active despite his Awakened troops' lessening presence; if Thorn ever learned the truth of his archrival's death, his mad tantrum could have disastrous consequences to everyone involved in both the Mad Realm and Tyria.[1] The Commander tracked down trophies of the feud between Joko and Thorn around Elona and the Mad Realm. Once all the trophies had been collected, the Mad King's minions presented a trophy shelf which contained Joko's tomes seized from the fallen lich king's armies. Some of the private journals found among the tomes shed some light on Joko's past and proved that many of his boasts had been mere fabrications to boost his ego.

Consuming Joko's lich magic granted Aurene the powers of resurrection, allowing her to return to life in 1332 AE after Kralkatorrik had killed her in the battle of Thunderhead Keep. Aurene's return made Braham openly praise Joko for actually contributing something good to the world for a change after centuries of evil deeds.[2]

After getting rid of his writer's block in 1333 AE, the famous charr author Snargle Goldclaw wrote a novel called Heart of Thorn about a fictionalized triangle drama between Mad King Thorn, the Grand High Viscount of Candy Corn, and one of Thorn's wives called Priscilla Sarsaparilla Barbarella Thorn. Given Snargle's tendency to embellish his writing and use different names for real people in his novels, it is unknown how accurate the novel's depiction and name of Thorn's heretofore unknown wife is.

By the Halloween of 1334 AE, however, Thorn grew suspicious of Joko's lack of activity, which prompted the Lunatic Court's emergency task force to find a means to bring Joko's spirit to the Mad King's Labyrinth somehow to appease the mad monarch.[1] What seemed to be the spirit of Joko himself did eventually appear in the Mad King's Labyrinth, prompting King Thorn to replace his previous bantering partner, Bloody Prince Thorn, with Joko at the center of the labyrinth much to the prince's annoyance.[3] Thorn and Joko began exchanging taunts with gusto, and Joko appeared to enjoy his time both bullying Thorn while being simultaneously annoyed by the Mad King's pranks and puns. Curious of these developments due to witnessing Aurene devour Joko in Gandara, the Pact Commander sought out members of the task force to press them for information. The task force's testimonies differed wildly from one another, however, leading to multiple conflicting theories to consider.

In a report to Magister Tassi, the Commander had to choose which of the many theories for Joko's return they supported the most: the spirit could be the real Joko who had naturally passed on to the Mad Realm as his madness and ego would have drawn him there, a fragment of Joko's soul either recovered by the courtiers via a ritual or which had escaped death on its own when Aurene had devoured him, leftover fragments and memories of Joko bound into a projection of him, an echo of Joko created by the Mists, an alternate version of Joko from a different realm in the Mists, a mesmer illusion to conceal the truth, a Mad Spirit coerced by the courtiers into believing they are Joko, or an actual unaffiliated imposter making everyone think they are the real Joko.[4][5][6][7][8][9] Deciding on which theory to support for the thesis, the Commander and Tassi concluded their investigation and put an end to Joko's tale while the lich king's legacy, regardless of the labyrinth Joko's origins, would live on in the Mad Realm.

Following Palawa Joko's demise in 1331 AE, Brigadier General Kernel and the Pact Commander schemed to gather real and fabricated spoils of war from Elona to fool Thorn into thinking that Kernel's forces had merely forced the lich king to retreat. Should the Mad King ever learn that his archrival had been killed without his permission, his tantrum would be legendary and deadly to behold even on his already high mad standards.
