does anyone else notice how similar the shadow behemoth looks to a certain time anomaly-making sonic villain

OK GUYS I might have found something new to add to the mystery.. so I play a necro (not sure if important) and I went to do the Shadow Behemoth. As you know, these mysterious skeletons have been spawning near the boss recently. I stood next to one as the boss died and all the skeletons died at the same time too. I got this glittering effect on my character! It leaves a trail when running. There’s no boon or buff or anything to tell what it is. I assume it’s related to the skeletons ‘cause I’ve never seen it before. I tired catching the mysterious spirit with my mount but couldn’t quite catch it before it disappeared so I don’t know if the effect lets you talk to it or anything. Also nothing new when I “talked” to the corpse.

That would hardly be news on it’s own, as this literally godforsaken Krytan swamp, which is the site of the sunken ruins of a prominent ancient temple to the human gods, is frequently torn by portals to the Underworld which issue forth shadowy, demonic entities.

Recently, however; multiple confirmed sightings of a mysterious red spirit have been reported by eagle-eyed Tyrians who apparently enjoy frolicking in dank, noisome, demon-infested swamps.

The activity of this red specter has led to the discovery of a fresh, human corpse, the apparent victim of a grisly murder.

According to amateur necromantic crime scene investigators (probably not that one), the body belongs to a priest of Grenth, a necromancer himself, who was apparently attempting to answer some otherworldly (or Underworldly) “call” when he was suddenly struck multiple blows by multiple swords and axes wielded by multiple undead skeletons. (Necromancers can read a lot from a corpse, apparently. I don’t envy them.)

But listen, Tyria. This Underworld business is nothing to worry about. Demons aren’t that different from ghosts, and if ghosts are your problem, you already know who to call…

The Iron Legion.

Simply put, the charr eat ghosts for breakfast, figuratively and only occasionally literally.

With all that’s happened lately; I posit that the tenuous layer of fabric separating our reality from the endless fractal potential realities of the Mists is wearing quite thin, specifically where it pertains to the former realm of Grenth, the human god of death; the Underworld. We’ll be able to investigate further very soon; in just two weeks, in fact.

Meanwhile, I’ve taken something of a sabbatical from weird science investigation this week, as I’ve been rescuing abandoned griffon eggs in the Crystal Desert for entirely selfless charitable reasons.

Save the griffons! Glory to the Sunspears! Praise Kormir! (By the Alchemy, I will have that griffon mount.)
