I've only now been able to catch up with these LW updates, and I must say I love these little tidbits of information we got. Especially the mention of Chrysantea, since this has always just been a weird unexplained factor with the introduction of heart of thorns. The narrative makes a bit more sense now.
Wouldn't it be a normal thing to have revolting subgroups form within a bigger, dominant and hierarchical organization? Especially for the relatively young nightmare court. It makes sense that with the dwindling court's numbers and chaotic division in the ranks there is more room for other voices to be heard and position themselves, such as apparantly Chrysanthea and her followers. And it wouldn't seem unlikely that courtiers are able to overthrow their current leadership when faced with large scale threats. Organizations develop, learn, grow and adapt. It could well be a survival strategy to pose themselves as redemptionists for the sake of survival, but it also makes for a much more interesting narrative to have the nightmare court realize the ineffective side of their methods in times of crisis and seeking a way to ensure their existance. This could open up a whole new development to explore, and I do hope we can see more of it in the future.
I would like to see new and original things, and less of the "nostalgic" returning to places from GW1. With the elder dragon saga behind us, there are so many possibilities to explore. New civilizations, new unexplored areas, new creatures, new enemies. That would be so much more interesting to me than rehashing old stuff.
