Translations of Chinese GW:EN Lore Info

[Santax]

I suppose that all depends on the strength of the Forgotten, and the crossability of the mountains to the south.

Afaik, the only living Forgotten on the surface of the world of Tyria post-Nightfall is Vissh Rakissh - all the other ones were killed by the Margonites.

[Quintus Antonius]

He means he watched them kill off his family and fellow Forgotten when Abaddon originally rebelled.

The Margonites have hunted my brethren like animals. No matter how hard we fought back, eventually we fell. They allow me to live, only to mock my suffering. Pay them back for the deaths of my brothers and I will reward you.

Servants of the fallen one wander across these lands in search of some way to free their master. Once my people were many, and strong enough to stop them, but now I am one of only a handful who remain.
The Margonites draw closer to finding what they seek. If they are not stopped, they will wreak havoc upon this world. One such demon seeks an ancient relic known as the Staff of the Mists. The scepter and its twin, the Scepter of Orr, were created long ago, when this desert was still an ocean. The Staff of the Mists lies buried beneath an altar in the southern regions of the Poisonous Badlands protected by ancient magic.

The Forgotten are on the edge of extinction, at least in our realm. However, it's probable that they arrived at our world via the Mists anyway, so we'll probably see them in World PvP in GW2.

The Naga were almost completely wiped out by the Jade wind and 200 years later they are all over cantha.

[Sounds Risky]

According to the timeline the Forgotten didn't settle in the Crystal Desert until 174 years after the Abaddon/Margonite banishment.

[Quintus Antonius]

You sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Time has not been kind to this last bastion of a once-great empire. The erosion caused by the outward creep of the Realm of Torment has eaten away at the very foundations of this forgotten citadel, dropping much of it into a vast sinkhole. It is said the lone living witness to the Margonite assault on the Gates of Heaven and Abaddon's defeat at the hands of the Five Gods still resides here, all but abandoned to the mists of time.

He was the last one to survive when Abaddon struck against the Old Gods with his Margonites. The Old Gods used the Forgotten and their Eternals to fight back. The Margonites formed death squads to hunt down the Forgotten in retribution.

The quest you quoted is even called "The Cold Touch of the Past". Not to mention everything he says is in past tense.

His non-quest dialouge is also:

"This world has circled the heavens countless times since I last gazed upon caring eyes. What brings you here, young one?"

He has been alone for thousands of years.

The Forgotten were wiped out with our help in Prophecies, and it is likely the Margonites are hunting down the remaining Forgotten in the Realm of Torment, but on Tyria, Vissh is one of the few living Forgotten remaining, trapped in his fallen fortress by the outward creep of the Realm of Torment and the sulfur pouring from Abaddon's mouth.
