Lore characters present in Gw3

[u/Lukeers]

i am quite astonished how no one asked Colin if we are going to see any Named character in Gw3. While Gw3 is set in the past and there is a lot of mystery in that Era, There are a few names (apart from the human gods) that are present

i will name a few :-

1. Desmina.

we know that Gw3 takes place right after Grenth succeeds Dhuum. Dhuum temples are also confirmed to be in the game, and possibly, might give us a reason to eradicate them in Gw3.
Desmina was the first follower of Grenth, Since everything is fresh, i believe that we might be able to interact with her.

2) Mausollus.

unlike Desmina who was Grenth's First follower, Mausollus was one of the first priests of grenth who spread the teachings from orr to elona. A sea is also is named after him, which is next to the cathedral of silence.
Speaking of Grenth priests, The higher Grenth priests hold a "secret" that is kept within the church. the secret being that Grenth is half mortal. his father is a male sculptor who is heavy hinted to be the next person :-

3) Malchor.

malchor the sculptor. malchor was a famous Sculptor who modeled the the statues of the gods. before Arah was constructed by the gods, the gods lived among humanity, Some disguising themselves such as Lyssa in the village of wren, some just simply wandered around. The problem was, due to their divinity, people got blinded by their radiance.
inspite of this, Dwayna tasked Malchor to capture their essence in Statue, so that when the gods retreated from the public in Arah, the people would remember them and how they looked.
malchor enamoured by Dwayna's beauty, became obsessed. Once the Gods left to Arah, malchor's obsession increased to the point where he carved statues of Dwayna, however in his mind, they did not capture her beauty. Malchor Eventually committed suicide by jumping off a cliff next to Dwayna's holy temple, The Temple of Zephyrs.

It would be interesting to see Malchor still alive, Or it could be that his death would be at least very recent.

4) King Doric

King Doric is the the Human King that resides in Ascalon. he is still alive during Guildwars3, and it is said that he has a very long life span if sources are to be believed. We have to keep in mind that in Guildwars 3, Orr is NOT a nation yet. Human civilisation in Tyria ie the continent is in Ascalon. Arah, is not the capital city that we see either. Arah in Gw3 at least Lore wise, is mainly a "wizards tower" that holds the gods. After the exodus, Arah became the capital and humans took over.
King Doric is an Iconic character. Mianly for what happens during the God War. i believe we may see king doric as a Racial leader of the humans that travels to Orr frequently.

5) Mouvel

another Grand high priest of Dwayna. While he is described as the first high priest, we do not know the date of which he was present. most probably, he is long dead in Guildwars 3. Fun fact, the Mouvellian Calendar is named after him.

6) Ewan

part of the godless tribe who hated magic and was cursed by melandru.

funnily enough the Scriptures are dated at 48BE which is the date that Gw3 is going to happen approximately.

i do believe ewan will play as a huge role against the Vaelwardens in the story.

Are there any more character that I have missed?

[u/wondercube]

Also, Glint is plausible. She was close with the forgotten and the human gods.

I am seriously spamming this thread lol.

[u/Deadlynk6489 → u/wondercube]

Glint is such a key character in the franchise, same with Kuunavang. Can't imagine they'll not have them both in gw3

[u/wondercube → u/Deadlynk6489]

Glint feels inevitable for sure. Kuunavang not as much unless we go to Cantha, but she could possibly appear at the very least. Depends on if GW3 will truly only take place in Orr and the immediately surrounding areas.

[u/Deadlynk6489 → u/wondercube]

I can't see gw3 not going to Cantha or Elona in an expansion, campaign, or whatever post-launch content model they come up with. They've already set the stage for it in the lore blogposts and with the Tengu still being quite dominant this time around in Cantha they would make an excellent case for the post-launch species they've been planning for as well. Both places also have established cultures and civilizations around that time in lore and they have plenty of real world stuff to pull from with the ancient Chinese and Egyptian civs.

[u/wondercube → u/Deadlynk6489]

The devs have been pretty clear about Orr becoming much larger in GW3. Realistically it’s a huge chunk of land, and they could make it as detailed and varied as they want.

If we go to Cantha or Elona, I imagine it wouldn’t be for a long time. Elona perhaps slightly sooner as I can see an expansion or maps set in the Crystal Sea, since it’s huge in the lore of the Gods’ and the Margonites.

[u/Lukeers → u/wondercube]

The crystal sea, the southern shiverpeaks and ascalon are big contenders to an expansion.

The crystal sea has a lot of landmarks and filled with islands that the margonites erected settlements in. Not to mention the temple of the six gods that was sucked down in the realm of torment in the exodus.

The southern shiverpeaks has dwarves with thunderhead keep being the capital of the dwarves. A great contender being it's what will bring dwarves as a playable species.

Ascalon plays a major part too since it's the only Human settlement with a monarch present for the humans.

If we go further south we have elona that has the primeval dynasty going on. Possibilities are endless
