Guild wars 2 Lore

Heroes From Abroad

Characters of other campaigns join the Factions storyline at this point. Mhenlo has come to lend his aid to his former teacher, and accompanying him are Devona, Aidan, Eve, and Cynn. The heroes of Tyria also arrive at Kaineng City at around the same time. Jamei, a fellow student and very close friend of Mhenlo greets them at the pier, informing them of the current situation. Scarcely has she finished before they are assaulted by the Afflicted.

Realizing they have no time to waste, they set off immediately on Master Togo's trail. Master Togo and the players, since their arrival, have again begun searching the city for clues on the source of plague. Their search leads them to Vizunah Square, where they find that the population of the area are all becoming Afflicted. As they attempt to fend off hordes of Afflicted, Mhenlo and his friends finally catch up to Master Togo, and together they push deeper into Vizunah Square.

Deep within central Vizunah Square, they encounter a large group of Afflicted led by a powerful bound spirit in the service of Shiro Tagachi. When they manage to defeat these monsters, Shiro manifests himself and kills everyone. Believing that this nuisance has been resolved, he leaves.

Moments later, several beings manifest themselves as well, and restore the players, Master Togo, and the Tyrian heroes to life. These beings explain that they are envoys, responsible for bringing the recently dead to the Mists. They reveal that Shiro is also an envoy, but that they are dismayed that instead of his duties, Shiro is twisting the souls and binding them into constructs. By restoring their lives, the envoys hold the players and the others to an oath; that they would put an end to Shiro's evil. Before leaving them, the envoys advise the players to become Weh no Su, or "Closer to the Stars", to enable them to see and fight both the bound spirits and Shiro himself.

Master Togo later informs the players of Suun, the Oracle of the Mists, who has the knowledge to become Weh no Su. To find them, Master Togo directs them to locate Nika, a direct descendant of Vizu, one of the heroes who played a major part in taking down Shiro when he was alive.
