Guild Wars 2 Heritage Post

Always wanted to do a what-if fully corrupted Mael, and what better opportunity to do so than Isgarren's shady little experiments? Introducing codename "Harbinger", also known as Sun Eater, Fenrir, Shadowlord, Bleak Raven.

As a failsafe in case of the Commander ever losing himself to the demon magic he wields, the Wizards ran a simulation of the worst possible future - orchestrating the deaths of all his loved ones, to the point he finally lost himself to madness. All in all, standard fractal business - except, whoops, the real Mael was never supposed to learn of Sun Eater's existence! And Sun Eater was never supposed to learn it wasn't in the real Tyria! Oh no... what's this about scientific hubris...? A little fucking around and finding out, perhaps?

And oh no! Is the former Pact Commander (the real deal) now plotting to assassinate Isgarren as well as trick the Wayfinder, Maolmuire, into slaying him in turn to prevent the possibility of a very dark future? Maybe.

His mental state hasn't been the best in quite some time and this is the straw that broke the camel's back. Except it was several bricks thrown at his head.

"All the world falls to decay, it is the way through which life can return to us."

Thinking about how Trahearne spent 25 years alone in Orr. Thinking about how people avoided him because they knew he was doomed from the beginning. How he collaborated with the Orders but never joined one, how he was only close with other outcasts but didn’t see them often either, how he thought his life’s purpose was a fool’s quest so he let the world shut him out because no one else should have to shoulder that burden, the sheer impossibility of it. How he’d rather die trying than abandon Orr, but also how terrified he was of failure. Of letting his mother his younger siblings the world down.

Thinking about how he only succeeded when he let someone in. How the Commander looked into the Dream, saw the utter ruin of Orr, and took part of that burden willingly. How we said, through our actions, “You’re not alone, I’m right here. We’ll do this together.”

And how suddenly nothing was impossible.

"There isn't a right choice, Commander. That's what the Raven Spirit is about. That's why we choose to follow it."
