- Ceara encountered something that literally broke her mind, but the only things in there were things she brought.
- I surmise she was directly exposed to a part of her own psyche that had been carefully walled off. Perhaps for her own protection?
- Ungle set up a camp and opened a stall for business. He sold marvels: sparkling trinkets, colored sweet water, firecrackers, and all sorts of delights. But the most impressive was a miniature asura gate.
- We'd need to do far more extensive study of the sylvari Dream before I could draw any more-detailed conclusions.
- What I can conclude now is that she's preparing to strike. Mark my words: Scarlet's next attack is planned and ready.
- The potential applications were obvious, but Ungle impressed them further. The gate had magical properties. Merely standing near it made a person wiser.
- Scarlet
- Once more, my esteemed snaky friend: you're doing this for obelisk shards. You want direct access to your prophets, correct? Then do as I say.
- But alas, the gate was only a prototype. Ungle needed funds to build a more stable model. After a lengthy meeting, the villagers gathered the gold Ungle needed.
- Let me be clear. I'm not doing this for you; I'm doing it for me. Nobody tells me what to do. Not ever.
- Ever since I came out of Omadd's machine, you've been taking credit for my ideas. They are mine! Not yours.
- Ungle bid the town a cheerful farewell, promising to return with a working model. As the months passed, the villagers fretted. Finally, they accepted that Ungle was never coming back, and they were wiser after all.
- It's not true. None of it. I don't have to listen to you. Get out of my head!
- Close the collection.
- Introduction by Haizea Madhavi (1307 A.E.): The first I found was scratched into a strip of bark. The next was in a shop in Lion's Arch. My interest turned to obsession, and before long, I'd collected over a hundred. I wish I could say I found them all.
- That's a piece of one of Scarlet's probes. We theorize that this agitated the jungle wurms.
- The Watchknights and the steam creatures use common parts. That would explain how Scarlet gained control of the Watchknights.
- Spring 1.
I am the unfolding of Midnight Jasmine. I am the ebb and flow of sap in the trees. My ears fill with the tuhk-tuhk of tiny feet, the songs of cicadas and bees. - Their obedience makes them perfect infantry units for assaulting a fortified location.
- If you examine the steam creature closely, you can identify similarities to Scarlet's clockwork machines in its design.
- Spring 2.
My body luxuriates in the sun's rays, and when it rains, my skin tingles with greed. I am that which begins and ends with the Dream, a night child of the wombless seed. - It's like she modified the Watchknights with the same engineering.
- Priory teams recovered this cooling rod from the Thaumanova Reactor disaster. It's steeped in dragon magic.
- Spring 3.
I am midnight, and all night creatures know me. Better apart, a loner, I did not stay. To be one in all, forfeit, or all in one, complete? I rose and turned away. - Scarlet and the Inquest turned a risky research experiment into a time bomb so they could study how it ticked.
- They also discovered new info about ley lines. If Scarlet is using that info to plan her next major attack, it's coming soon.
- Spring 4.
Moss stalled my feet, and Blackberry clawed my legs. I hated to go, but was afraid to stay. Ignorance made us vulnerable to predators, to pain. Our Dream expands with us, and growth lies out and away. - So dredge sonic technology can be used for probing underground...
- Destroy the Nightmare Tree and Fyonna.
- And Scarlet's been looking for ley lines with those probes...
- These steam creatures have been around for a while, and we've pondered their origins with no success. Now, it seems we have our first clue. They share many of the qualities of Scarlet's designs.
- Destroy the Nightmare Tree and Vevina.
- Scarlet was able to seize control of Queen Jennah's watchknights and twist them into similarly threatening minions.
- Are you suggesting that the human queen... What exactly are you suggesting?
- That the queen hired Scarlet to make her watchknights, obviously.
- Foewatch. Huh, not even a proper fort. Rocks and tree branches. Splintercrest is a real fort, the Iron Legion's finest work. Sticks and stones may break some bones, but iron will sever an artery.
- That the queen modeled her watchknights on the steam creatures.
- That Scarlet was attracted to the quality of the watchknight design.
- Destroyer Loot Box[pl:"Boxes"]
- Golem Loot Box[pl:"Boxes"]
- So it seems. We now know she'd been moving behind the scenes for some time, but she chose that moment to show herself. Why?
- Jealousy. She has a grudge against Queen Jennah and wanted her to suffer.
- To get the watchknights. Controlling them required her personal touch.
- I agree with the Seraph. She chose Divinity's Reach at random.
- First time you saw Scarlet, she was attacking MY city and MY queen. Casualties were heavy, mostly civilian. The Seraph chalked it up to a random act of violence. Little did they know...
- It was all part of her plan.
- When Scarlet attacked Divinity's Reach—my home—civilian casualties were many. The Seraph responded well, but they thought it was a random act of violence. Little did they know...
- That is a piece from one of Scarlet's probes. Best we can deduce, they're searching for something. Of course, they also woke a three-headed wurm and drove it to the surface.
- You think a probe caused that?
- Unequivocally. My colleagues believe it was the magisonic dissonance the probes emit that disturbed the wurm. You have a theory for what she was looking for with the probe?
