FP: Hey everyone, Faceless Pyrus here. Just for the sake legal issues, I do not own Guild Wars in any right. This story mixes NPCs from Guild Wars (i.e. Lady Althea), my actual characters that I play with (i.e. Pyrus The Faceless), and characters that just come from my mind (i.e. Xavier, Pukpuk, etc.).
Other than that, there are just a few other things to go over. The story itself is pretty straightforward, narrated by Pyrus The Faceless, therefore in the first person. The Preface is narrated by Xavier, a Krytan historian, and will be italicized for distinction. Whether or not he pops up later to narrate other portions of his own story or insights of his own is yet to be determined, but will still be distinguished by italics.
So, without further ado, please read, please review, please enjoy.
Preface:
My name is Xavier. I'm a monk who specializes in the arts of protection. Well, specialized rather, as my fighting days are long over. So, now that I'm past my prime as a man of battle, I spend my time employed by the Krytan Academy of Tyrian History.
Recently, I stumbled upon a document of great importance, and my colleagues were duly impressed.
It's a document, yes, but more specifically a memoir. We all know of the Flameseeker Prophecies, an amazing and astounding landmark in Tyrian history. Of course, the fabled dragon Glint had been in wait for this to occur for many years, but the time that the events took place still continue to pique historians' interests to this day. But this memoir, which is one of many I anticipate still exist, belonged to a man who lived during the Flameseeker Prophecies of Tyria, and more importantly, took part in them.
Now, we're all aware of Devona's band of heroes and their involvement in the Prophecies, but according to this record, there was a second group of heroes around as well! The actual journal itself was written by a mesmer named Pyrus. Pyrus The Faceless. I'm not aware where this title is actually derived, as I'm still piecing together crucial parts of his memoir in order to further understand this man's life. But, seeing how imperative this information is to the Academy, I'll write down what I know now and figure the rest out later.
The earliest entries in the memoir seem to actually recount events that take place before The Searing of Ascalon, a time period we have barely any record of at all, as most records were destroyed during the actual event. I'm certain that this discovery will give us much needed insight into the lives of the Ascalonians, if not Tyrians of ages past.
