The middle may or may not be (not positive on the source) the heads of the leaders/lead characters of each group. My assumption would be that the Shining Blade lead character is Alari Doubleblade, who was mentioned on Facebook, or Batholos. Soon enough I'm sure the Mantle's lead character or a supporting character (general-like figure) will be announced on the Shining Blade's Facebook.The Mantle leader may or may not be a Mursaat. My assumption (based on the time in the story) would be Lazarus the Dire or a resurrected Hablion (he died on the Bloodstone) or D'Alessio. I'm not sure what all of this implies, but I'm assuming some sort of storyline where we align ourselves with one of these two characters to battle the other.

Either way folks, be prepared to shell out $9.99 for both sets of costumes or $6.99 per set.

Have a happy 5th, bitches.

Do you mind telling how you personally know what the picture is when hundreds of people have already speculated and tampered until they could tamper no more? Do you have proof? Sources? "Trust me on this" is not enough...sorry.

The shining blade have stolen weapons from the mantle, either because their own supplies were running low, or maybe they will infiltrate the mantle in disguise? Didn't notice it myself, as I was too busy admiring Queen Salma's new armour.

Naturally. What else would you expect from a bunch of fanatics?

#Liberty!
Dismantle the Shining Blade. Disobey the White Mantle.

If this were Valve or BioWare or, you know, another dev that actually cares about the players, we'd be getting all that stuff for free.

don't know if anyone else has mentioned this later in the thread or not, but I felt like calling you on your bullshit anyway. Bioware is all about charging people money for their DLC lately (esp. since they're part of EA now). Dragon Age is infamous for that annoying guy in your camp who practically asks for your credit card info in game.

As for Valve, I think plenty of people can still remember L4D2 and its whole controversy (whether you agree with the backlash or not) of doing the exact opposite of what you said valve does.

So basically, stfu.

Ravious · Apr 07, 2010, 06:49 PM // 18:49

Basically, yeah.

Unfortunately, I really can't tell you. And I could be wrong. I've been misled before.

Looks like there's text in the middle. Maybe a ripped truce?

EDIT: A little caveat, I'd love to see Livia use the Scepter of Orr against the White Mantle. It makes sense in the storyline, and I assume Livia will die long before GW2.
