commander's beauty routine: trauma

[rosewoodroad]

Big SoTO Spoiler below!! Just some confusion over achievement lore bits

So, completing Sorrow's Lost gets you a tarot card reading from Dagda, and this is what she reveals. For reference:

Convoy = Commander

Mirror = Isgarren

Satchel of Fate = Wizard's Ascent; a collection of ideas spread across the table. Between lovers and wars, they always choose war (I put the whole descript here because this is really cryptic)

Stag = Zojja

Fiend = Outrider Arina

I just can't figure out if this is predicting the events of SoTO's current update, or future ones? Zojja's severe choice is definitely about becoming a Wizard, the Convoy entering can be read as the Commander's grand entrance into the Astral Ward... The Fiend seems to be important but untouched for now, which means Arina is for sure important to the plot.

But what on earth does the Satchel of Fate refer to? Is Isgarren planning to go to war with the Kryptis?

Alrighty; after some googling, here’s a quick write up of the gw2 tarot in the order that is shown in the post and their rl equivalent. 1:- X: Satchel of Fate/Wheel of Fortune Upright: Change, cycles, inevitable fate Reversed: No control, clinging to control, bad luck 2:- IX: The Stag/The Hermit Upright: Contemplation, search for truth, inner guidance Reversed: Loneliness, isolation, lost your way 3:- XV: The Fiend/The Devil Upright: Addiction, materialism, playfulness Reversed: Freedom, release, restoring control 4:- IV: The Mirror/The Emperor Upright: Authority, structure, control, fatherhood Reversed: Tyranny, rigidity, coldness 5:- 0: The Convoy/The Fool Upright: Innocence, new beginnings, free spirit Reversed: Recklessness, taken advantage of, inconsideration

found Livia in the wizard's tower reliquary with some tasty info on the reforged shadowstone. (I wonder if the dialogue is different if you do the consortium option)

I think the commander would survive the Grimace shake trend.

anet is either teasing a new mastery line with this device or setting up a false hope narrative where the device works on the oni trio but fails horribly when a big boss demon shows itself. both possibilities are very exciting to think about :)
