A small bit of guild wars 2 storyline speculation.

[Moonfelar]

there are a few key things that i think will happen in the gw2 storyline.
1. in the end cinimatic of GW:EN you see livia finding the septor of orr. i think she will take it thinking she can control it against evil. but she wont be strong enough to control it. it will consume her and turn her into a second lich.
2. this lich will be obsesed with freeing the ancient dragons. the great destroyer allready realesed primidios so she will move on to free the others. the players will obviously get wind of this and set out to find and defeate the lich.
3. the lich will free the remaining dragons. the dragons come out and oblitirate everyone. but the players will chase the lich to a bloodstone and destroy her. with the defeate of the lich all but one of the dragons will be vanquished.
4. primidios will still survive because he was not sumoned by lich. the players will go down and finaly vanquish primidios. primidios will be the final boss.
there are obviously ALOT of plot holes in that summery, but thats how i think everything will go down. what do u guys think?

[Gmr Leon]

I think it's pretty clear that the Ancient Dragons wake up on their own. Perhaps by the reintroduction of Primordus's full power after awakening causing a domino effect.

Also, the cinematic displays, subtly, hesitation in Livia's reaching out. This, at least to me, indicates that she does not take the Scepter of Orr for her own.

[Akirai Annuvil]

Primordus was the dragon of undeath right? Seems fair he should be the one to 'resurrect' the others.

[Gmr Leon]

No, he's the still-life breather. That is, breathing life into stone and magma and earth. The dragon you see at the end of Eye of the North, that is.

Orrian dragon is the one of undeath.

[Akirai Annuvil]

Ah. Well both have to do with giving life or at the very least undeath, to those who are dead, so the theme is pretty much similar.

The amount of typos was incredible in that sentence, thank whoever invented the keyboard for backspace.

Or you could just read this.

The Scepter or Orr wasn't responsible for turning anyone into a Lich. Was it?

[Malhavoc Adhamar]

Nope. The scepter allowed the Lich to control the titans.

[Arkhan The Black]

Think it was said it could control creatures from the Underworld or something.

[Bashor]

The lich was the lich before he even had the Staff.
Besides, the staff won't turn someone into an evil person. If it would, our chars would have been evil lichs, too.
Remember? There was a mission, where we had to carry the staff to the lich. It does only make the user more powerful. Now what one does with that power, is up to the person, carrying the staff.

[sorudo]

the staff is nothing more then a booster, not something that consumes the user.
it controls, not absorbs.

[Tom Nook]

Nope. The scepter allowed the Lich to control the titans.

Yeah I thought so.
Quite an odd power to have, certainly considering its other abilities.

Remember though, we only held the staff for a short period of time.

[Arkhan The Black]

Yes and we was also in the Realm of Torment one of the most corrupted realms in Guild Wars but we didn't end up corrupted by it.

But still. The Lich was evil before he touched the staff. he didn't even become more evil than before. He just got a power boost.

Oh absolutely.

Livia may make an appearance in Guild Wars II, but it's unlikely. Though the spirit option is of course available to ANet. :smiley:

Obviously in the ending clip of Prophecies Glint takes the scepter, I'm just wondering why she didn't, you know, like - hide it, or something. The place we see Livia finding it doesn't look like the safest place for what I suppose is one of the most powerful magical artifacts in the world.

[Gmr Leon]

It's not all that obvious that Glint took the Scepter of Orr. Her little avatar appearing above it, telling us to get out of there or burn, then disappearing..Then the Scepter disappearing a few seconds later, leaves much room for interpretation.

If anything, she left it in that sort of location to fuel another one of her Prophecies of End-Days that nearly brings Tyrian civilization to ruin. That is, of course, if Glint took it.

Either way, I get the feeling that Livia decided against taking the Scepter of Orr. A great sacrifice to protect Kryta from the corruption of power the Scepter would provide. Heck, the first person to own it was struck down by the Gods and the Scepter entombed with him.

Of course, it was found and dug up, but still..The tales around both of the staves never indicate any good fortune coming about.

the sceptre of orr attracts undead does it?

Yes, it does, afaik.
