🦴 PLOT FOR 2024 🦴
At the conclusion of The Elder Dragon Cycle, magic started to find it's equilibrium.
This had far reaching effects, like a ripple in a great pond. 
Kryptis, The Void & denizens of The Mists took note of this fundamental change in Tyria's fabric. 
Ever seeking release from The Mad Realm, Mad King Thorn set a task for his Lunatic Court, 
turn the newly created Skyscales to his will, to form a new minion - and an avenue of escape!
They have begun converting fledgling Skyscales to soon become - The Hallowscale! 

This predicament has been deemed too much of an otherworldly threat to simply ignore by Magister Tassi & The Captains Council.
Working in alignment with the Horrorween's royal hosts, Daniel Frozenwind and Mad Queen Malafide,
they have undertaken the forming of a cracked squad of Lion Guard nicknamed the "The Coast Busters".
The task they hold is a grave one, to hold the line at Horrorween when the veil is thinnest, and prevent the Hallowscales from reaching the Mad King.

🎃A MESSAGE FROM THE MAD KING 🎃
"Will you fly into my Realm?" said the Mad King to the scale of the sky;
"'Tis the prettiest little Realm that ever you did scry.
The way into my Realm is up a winding stair,
And in my cauldron many pretty things bubble and squeak while you are there."
"Oh, no, no!" said the little wing of the sky, " to ask me is in vain,
For who goes up your winding stair can ne'er come down again!" 
"I'm sure you must be weary, with soaring up so high,
Will you rest beneath my Pumpkin Head?" said The Mad King to the scale of the sky...

I miss your commander leads in Aurora Glade.

There's no other commander like you in game, with the inspiration and determination you have.

I remember that specific time we took SMC from Undeworld, with your tactics, strategy, and determination, with only a handful of people.

What a fight.

Unfortunately, I changed to WSR about a year ago out of impulse, and used my free home transfer.

Now I'd have to pay 1000 gems to transfer back, which neither I feel like nor think it would make a difference in WvW anyways.

 

But as you said. Hopefully we'll cross paths someday and be able to fight together.

 

Anyways. 

Good luck with the events.

All the best partner.
