Evennia is most definitely dead, as she was being forced to camp outside of the city limits by Adelbern who refused to meet with her because she was Krytan. If she wasn't purposefully allowed to be killed by Charr attacks or other elements, it's very likely that he "arrested" her like he tried doing to the other Krytan in early Post searing prophecies and had her locked up or killed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhaveh.6801 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Honestly, with the way the Mist are set up. I think anything is possible. We could very well run into her again, or get hints about what happened to her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sajuuk Khar.1509 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Evennia was very likely hanged by King Adelbern according to GW2 lore. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Open_Letters Quote My brothers and sisters from Ascalon, you know my history. I fought with you against the charr! I bled with you, I wept with you as the once-great country was consumed by the ravenous beasts. And this is not the first time the White Mantle aided Ascalon in their fight with the charr. Generations ago, Zain the Merciful brought food and clothing for your countrymen. What did the Shining Blade send? Assassins, who your king had hanged from Ascalon City! Join me, and the White Mantle will reclaim your home from the charr, and we shall form a grand human empire the likes of which has never been seen before! —Lord Caudecus Beetlestone Edited July 6, 2023 by Sajuuk Khar.1509 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's just some separatists' fakes news from Caudecus than real things. It would be a nonsense that a such important character (the 2nd most important one in the governement of Queen Salma) could die like that without any other hints. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to believe in any connection with the Wizard's Folly tower that we couldn't visit after the Searing in Ascalon even if former devs (Bobby Stein is always in ArenaNet but not Jeff Grubb) said it wasn't any connection between this tower and the Kessex one also... 9 years ago. Quote Q: Do the wizard towers in Kessex Hills and Ascalon have any relationship? What´s the story behind them and what happened to the Ascalonian one? Jeff: I think the two towers are similar chiefly because of the chains. The idea of chaining down your tower makes sense for when you are dealing with particularly powerful powerful magics allows you to move the tower away from populated areas when you are experimenting with particularly powerful energies, and, of course, to move away once something has gone horribly, horribly wrong. The tower in Kessex Hills was in a nearby location in GW1 and was towed to the present location. The one from Ascalon in GW1 is missing and its fate is unrevealed.

That's the thing though, she disappeared with no trace. From being forced to camp OUTSIDE any protection by Ascalon guards, waiting to see a king who is so anti-Krytan he literally tried at one point to arrest a Krytan and try him for treason "For being a Krytan". If Charr, or other wildlife didn't get her, Adelbern would've made sure she "disappears". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola.6197 Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Getting a Bastion of the Penitent type story about Evennia’s fate might be interesting. Not in raid form, but maybe a side adventure. Someone In Need was a fun collection that answered the question of what happened to King Jadon, so something similar for Evennia could work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it isn't, because it got solved back in 2017. People just forget about it because the answer came in non-main story content. I won't bother quoting because Sajuuk already did. Even then, Evennia's disappearance is pretty minor mystery while it lasted - even among GW1 players, few actually cared enough for the answer to come in Season 3. 15 hours ago, Anvar.5673 said: Oh Gods.

It would be a nonsense that a such important character (the 2nd most important one in the governement of Queen Salma) could die like that without any other hints. Keep in mind that originally, Guild Wars Beyond was to include the founding of Ebonhawke. When the leadership of the Live Team changed from Linsey Murdock to John Stumme, the direction changed to Hearts of the North and Winds of Change, but there were plans to return there after doing an Elona arc (which got canceled because GW2's release saw a dive in GW1 playerbase). So it's not like Evennia's disappearance was something that would never be brought up - it was likely slated to be part of 2010's plot, and pushed to 2013's plot, before it was canceled. I would disagree that Evennia was "the second most important person in the government of Queen Salma", though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvar.5673 Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 That's not wrong either. Thanks everyone for those informations.@Konig Des Todes.2086 and it's always a pleasure to see you around talking lore since years. Thanks for that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Yeah she a goner. Even if the white mantle propaganda was fake it is still likely she was killed in ascalon. If they some how retro this that just means bad writing. Evennia is my favorite guild wars character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
