What? Me drawing a trending thing WHILE it is trending and not 2 months later???

When you're in the Whispers and have to snoop around in the places of higher ups, getting arrested is par for the course.

Tybalt is not looking forward to having to get bailed out by the Preceptors, Tori is used to this.

#gw2 #my art #Tybalt Leftpaw #Tori Dawnmoon #Tori probably has a tally somewhere of all the Jails he's been to #not that many honestly #For someone so explosive she is surprisingly evasive #I mean the Seraph only managed to catch them when they were basically almost beat to death #Probably got put in Ebonhawke Jail for punching someone #most likely same with the Grothmar valley jail only for a whole ass fight (he didn't punch first) #Has only been to Lion's Arch jail once or twice which is surprising #Went to Rata Sum jail once for 'wanton destruction' #probably just had a golem he was trying to help fix blow up on him and got blamed for it #or did explode something in a college or two #Only really went to Divinity's Reach Jail a few times #he's been in soooo many temporary Ministry holding cells though

The Deep (AU)

Brian was absolutely determined to ignore the familiar voice over the intercom.

Heart Of Thorns - Brian Perspective

The crash had felt both sudden and painfully slow.

Unity and Duty

Brian leaned on the stone entryway into the keep, watching the combatants down below in the grassy plain that stretched to the river nearby.

Requiem - Slato

Brian Slato leaned against the tall Raven shrine, feeling the cold bite his face as a chilling breeze passed through.

One Vision, Two Paths (Part 1)

“Wake up, sister.” Rachel’s eyes opened at the soft words. Sunlight filtered through the leaves above her, illuminating the pods that were before her.

Storm Tracking

“No, we are not using Slato as bait,” Vanessa spoke, her voice deep and curt.

To Honor Raven

Brian raised his arms, wanting to capture as much heat from the fire in front of him as possible. He heard a deep voice call behind him.

A Legendary Journey

“A splendid blade adorned with gold, Patterned with wyverns, a power untold, Energy flows, displaying each volt, Behold the legendary sword: Bolt”

A Hastily Written Note

Yesterday, I had a dream. No, a vision. Or would it be a premonition?

Man, I need to write more!

glyn, for once, is having a great time putting in celebrity appearances in grothmar valley. merrit is in agony + is only kept going by the promise of backstage passes to see metal legion (a promise glyndwr is fully capable of fulfilling but has not gotten around to yet)

[born-in-ascalon]

Tyria, Grothmar Valley, 1332 AE. Season of the Scion is entering its seventh decade. The Elder Dragon Kralkatorrik is dead, its branded minions scattered and slowly dying out. The Flame Legion is about to shake off its past and rejoin the other High Legions. In what feels almost like overnight, the charr are free of two major threats that were keeping their forces occupied for years.

To celebrate both of these occasions, Blood Legion imperator Bangar Ruinbringer invited any and all to Grothmar Valley. Imperators and tribunes, centurions and legionnaires, soldiers and gladia, charr and other races alike are to come to the home of the Bloods for an All-Legion Rally, to witness the rebirth of charr as one, unified force.

Some see it as an obvious political power play – a chance for Bangar to establish dominance over the other imperators and shift power in Blood's favor. Others consider it a chance to mingle and celebrate, safe in the knowledge they can breathe just a little bit easier from now on.

And for certain charr, it is a time ripe with opportunity.

For all of them, life changes in less than a fortnight...

[This story is set shortly before and during the episode Prologue: Bound by Blood].

Note, please, that this is an episodic project, but due to the nature of tumblr being... well, generally unsuited for such endeavors, I have no way to link the episodes together. I will tag any works related as "#Icebrood Saga: Frostbound", but since there will also be related brief non-comic interludes, it may be difficult to get to these in the correct order. When in doubt, see page numbers, those do not reset with chapters.

For best results on anything related to this project, [search here].

This comic is unofficial and not part of the game's canon.

In case you have any doubts about it, I love Icebrood Saga. I don't love it uncritically, I don't consider it perfect, it was obviously cut short due to an abrupt shift of development in favor of the expansion, but even with all that said, it remains my favorite part of Tyria's story.

This series is my loveletter to that story. It will be a long ride, so... strap in, cubs. The Blade Warband has a long way to go.

[brax-was-here]

Arenanet really missed a mark with Icebrood Saga.

Grothmar Valley was an amazing map. Bright and beautiful with lots of fun events and a good story. Followed by Bjora Marches, another fantastic map with its completely opposite dark and spooky environment and dark story.

Then we go to Drizzlewood Coast. This...this is where it starts to go bad. While I liked the map and such, there should have been more story taking place in the northern Shiverpeaks which would lead us to a smaller style expansion which would focus on the Charr Civil War taking place in northern most Ascalon and spilling over into the Woodland Cascades. The end of the Civil War would find Jormag and Ryland gone into the Mists.

Then the next story could have been focused on the Asura and dealing with a reawakening Primordus. This could take us into the underground caverns while at the same time Jormag and Ryland return with Jormag wanting to sever the link between the two elder dragons. Ultimately this story arc would finish with a Dragonstorm like instance that takes place im the surrounding area around the Eye of the North.

gw2 story moments that went way too hard (my personal picks) (non-exhaustive list):

ls2 ending / teaser trailer for HoT

the entirety of HoT idk

final battle against Mordremoth

when rytlock runs into the spike trap in bloodstone fen and goes "ouch"

taimi voice: "jormag is active" [best song in the game plays]

*drops down into a volcano* damn that's a big roc- oh. oh... it's an elder dragon

spirit raven guide in the afterlife

taimi almost SUFFOCATING in scruffy??? bro turn that down one step, that went TOO hard

the entire bug in the system idk just one moment

when joko insults the commander's fashion. best 4th wall breaking diss in the game

"UHHWHAT" (sound of lab equipment breaking) "D-DID YOU SAY CHAK?!"

whatever that raptor fleeing sequence is right after. blish. you kno. i always die during that but i'm sure it's impactful if you don't fall every 2 meters while your party member finishes the instance

grothmar valley existing isn't a story moment but I'll mention it anyway because i can

when drakkar vomited out its soul right in front of the commander

jormag face reveal

Gorrik jailed. not for bioterrorism (this time)

Bioterrrorist Gorrik looking at a whale: "Is that a whale?"

#uuuh probably forgot 100 other things but this is the spontaneous thoughts list #budgie plays gw2

wound

CW injury, not described in detail

The Blight warband wasn’t exactly the most outstanding ‘band in the fahrar. In fact, they weren’t the ‘most’-anything. Other than perhaps the most unexceptional group of charr.

Corvus Blightstep, 14 years old, with fur like fire and charcoal, trodded forward. The suffix to his name chosen for his eager curiosity for the world around him.

You’d be forgiven for thinking it was due to his inability to sit still though.

“I don’t like this…” A taller charr muttered, mostly to herself. She was larger set than Corvus, her fur nearly the same shade as the sand in Grothmar Valley. Her blue eyes (though she insisted they were green) scanning the near barren land.

Before them, a lone mountain rested, the locals claimed it to be a dragon, though Corvus doubted it.

Corvus chuckled. “Are you scared?” He looked back at Malia Fairblight, her crystal eyes staring him down.

“Of course I’m not- besides if the dragon was real I’d kill it.” She pouted and walked up besides the smaller charr. “But… Our primus is gonna be really mad if he finds out we skipped training.” Malia let out a nervous laugh.

Corvus took a few seconds to respond. “Yeah,” was all he said as he continued forward with Malia behind him.

Once they made it to the small settlement at the mountain, they managed to get through some shrubbery to finally stand on some boulders at the foot of the mountain.

Looking up, Corvus felt himself get vertigo as he tried to determine the true size of the cliffs.

“There’s no way we’re gonna climb that.“ Corvus looked back to Malia who was looking up at the steep wall of rock. “At least we know it’s not alive.” Malia chuckled.

“I could do it.” And immediately he regretted speaking up. He knew he had to do it now or he would never hear the end of it.

“Really?” Malia cocked a brow in disbelief. “I don’t think you can even reach that crack.” She let out a light laugh as she pointed to a large crack in the rock not too far above Corvus. The wind had thrown dirt and seeds into it, allowing for grass to grow wild.

Corvus flicked his ears and tail. “Watch me.” He huffed, suddenly feeling more sure about his abilities than he probably should. He took a few steps, placed his back paw on a rock and stretched his body as far as he could, pushing off the rock with his other leg for just long enough to gain enough height to grab onto the ledge with his paws.

He grunted as he managed to place a paw above the crack and held on. Placing his back paws into the crack, he could look down at Malia with a smug grin plastered across his face.

“Just be careful, I don’t want you to fall. The ground is pretty rough.” She crossed her arms and watched as Corvus climbed even higher. She grew more and more nervous. This wasn’t a controlled environment like when they had the primus nearby.

Sure the village wasn’t too far away, but she would really prefer if she didn’t have to run off for help.

Corvus continued upwards, now at least four metres up. He was above the shrubbery.

“Corvus, I think that’s enough.” Malia was growing uneasy watching the smaller teen. The vertigo was starting to set in as she followed his figure up and up and up.

“Shit-“ there was a deep shattering sound as a rock hit the ground and split into pieces on the rock below.

“Corvus, come back down, it’s not-“ Malia didn’t finish her sentence before she watched as Corvus came crashing down with a thud.

He coughed and sat up to grab his shoulder. Bleeding heavily from the large gash.

Malia stood there for a few more seconds until she was finally able to comprehend what had happened.

“Son of a-“ Corvus winced as he moved his paw slightly to better put pressure on the wound.

“You’re such an idiot! I told you!” Malia knelt down by Corvus and looked at the wound. It was pretty bad.

“Go.” Corvus said, almost a command.

“What-? No, you’re bleeding.” Malia shook her head.

Corvus felt the pain a bit less now the adrenaline was kicking in. “If you go you won’t get in trouble.” Corvus gave her a pleading look. He didn’t want to be the cause of someone else’s punishment yet again. He could deal with that on his own.

He would just wait a bit before making his way back to the fahrar, it clearly wasn’t anything deadly.

Malia nodded and disappeared behind the shrubs.

Corvus let himself cry for a few moments, cursing himself out for his stupidity.

And then, like nothing had happened, he got up on his hind legs, clutching his shoulder, and walked back to the fahrar.
