The Slayer of Kings is both a powerful Sylvari ranger who was gifted by Melandru herself many years ago. Her human body withered other time and she awaited the creation of the Sylvari. Since she was also watching the battle between the Norn and Jormag closely, she missed out on becoming a firstborn.
Early history[edit]
A longer story can be found at [1]
The Slayer of Kings was once a human, who was once driven by a lust for revenge and put in a magical prison for many hundreds of years. There, she met the dragon Primordus, still slumbering he could still speak to her, although just barely. He gave her great power but a demonic spirit known as Durnac made her even more power hungry. Just as she was about to destroy the entire world, Melandru stopped her and tought her the power of good. She did not however teach me how to write a good summary of a longer and sort of eventful text Q.Q The Slayer of King's soul split in two who are seperate characters in Guild Wars 2.
Reawakening[edit]
As Silvara, the bringer of hope (one of her two souls) was reborn as a Sylvari, she would soon get into conflict with the elder dragons, especially Primordus, settling for the next best since Durnac was nowhere to be found. Primordus' minions however proved to be very powerful and she could not overcome them alone.
Athava, the devourer of power however, was reborn as a charr in the flame legion. However, she was sent to the wrong warband and joined the Blood legion, neither legion knowing of the exchange. She is an especially menacing enemy since she can devour the souls of her enemies to grow in power.
Combat abilities[edit]
Silvara is skilled with the bow but what puts her apart from most rangers is that she doesn't care about using the tried and tested ways of combat, she fights however she wants to and it is not uncommon to see her jumping off a building and quickly stabbing a target with a sword or dagger as well as poisoning it before retreating to quickly lay waste to a large group of enemies with a volley of arrows. Silvara likes to help her allies and will often save an ally over killing an enemy.
Athava, although skilled with all the elements, has always had a drawing towards fire. If it is because of being born flame legion, Primordus' influence or something else, no one knows. Although originally trained as an elementalist, one day while she was on patrol with the blood legion she stumbled upon an ancient crystal sparkling with almost unlimited power. As she touched it, the darkness already present in her soul took complete control and turned Athava into a charr lich using necromantic magic. Athava cares not about fancy things like conditions, critical hit rate or any such nonsense, instead, she want raw power.
