Dreaming? Strange as the ruined castle and half-man before her were, they were accompanied by none of the warped perspectives and discrete timelines that marked a dream. He was very real, just as substantial as any man in broad daylight...
The concept is sparked by Guild Wars's Hall of Monuments, a great hall of Dwarven-make discovered by the Ebon Vanguard as they flee far north into the mountains. You can fill the hall with your treasures, tales of your journeys and companions, and the titles you've earned. Kimmes the Historian guides you on how to make use of the hall, while the central scrying pool reveals the next arc of the campaign.
In Guild Wars 2, these treasures transfer to your new characters, and Kimmes remains in the hall as a ghost.
Technically, this is a Guild Wars 2 fanfic, but none of the lore or characters are used beyond the HoM.
Also it's about a guy I met haha.
PG-13. Handholding, ghosts, etc.
