Additional Lore

Headcanons, Invented Lore, and AU Elements

Mount Runestones

Path of Fire Lore Extrapolation

Battle is too dangerous for creatures who have taken so long to rear and train. However, with the desert becoming more and more hostile, the Elonians have created a means of summoning their mounts via enchanted runestone. The stone allows the rider to bring out their mount whenever they need quick travel, and send it safely back to the stables when necessary. Additionally, the stone will allow the mount to retreat when injured.

The Dream

Basic Lore Change

The Dream in Hope's Legacy canon is not an aspect of Mordremoth, but rather an aspect of the Forgotten magic that protects the Pale Tree and her children from Mordremoth's immediate influence. Soundless are more susceptible to Mordremoth's voice, as they have cut ties with the Dream. This is also the reason why Malyck and Indi did not have a pre-life Dream to guide them after they awakened.

Magic Absorption

Basic Lore Extrapolation

Energy released by the falling of a dragon or god is, as we have seen, absorbable by the other Elder Dragons, dragon minions, gods, and in rare cases, mortals. As Sylvari are dragon minions, proximity to such strong sources of rampant energy will cause them to absorb part of the magic and in effect strengthen them. 

Spectral Agony

Basic Lore Extrapolation

After rediscovering the ancient magic of the Mursaat and bringing it back to the reach of mortals, the following were discovered: 

Spectral Agony is an affliction of the soul, not the body. It takes the spirit and shifts it out of sync which causes torturous pain. Channeling spectral agony affects both the host and the victim, but special agony reduction gear has been created by the Fractal Project. After significant channeling time has been spent, it begins to have lasting to permanent affect on the user, following them even in death.

Exalted Springs

Heart of Thorns Lore Extrapolation/Minor Change

Near Tarir in Auric Basin, there is a spring of water with purifying properties due to the proximity to the Forgotten magic. This water gives further purity of will and mind to dragon minions, similarly to the Dream and the ritual that freed Glint in the City of Arah. This allows Sylvari who drink it to have further resistance to Mordremoth's voice.

Snaff's Ring

Novel Lore Extrapolation

Snaff's "Portable Asura Gate Ring" was found on Zojja's desk by Lierikk when he was in her office dropping some paperwork off for her. He pocketed it, hoping to study it and get it back before it was missed. Instead, he wound up using it with Denzel, Flann and Naeem to escape Vivienne and the Nightmare Court. The ring stopped functioning upon arrival at the remains of Glint's Lair. Eventually, the ring is fixed and falls into the hands of Dragon's Watch.
