Being prophetic, she seems just the type to cause a disaster now to prevent a greater one later.

Come to think of it, wasn't the Prophecies campaign basically Abaddon's opening move, meaning that if she foresaw that, she may have foreseen the whole thing? Wasn't there also a prophecy about Nightfall?

Or it could be that all those so-called Protectors of Tyria really did slay her, and she was only able to hang around in spirit for long enough for the PCs to complete the Titan Quests before being pulled all the way into the Mists...
It's a little far fetched to think that the heroes of Ascalon just randomly decided to kill Glint after completing her test... although technically she did attack us first after touching an egg.

But, yeah, she's a prophet so she saw what was coming and probably manipulated events to defeat Abaddon.

I'd also put my bets on the Scepter of Orr making an appearance in GW:EN. Possibly in relation to the Asura and the Tarnished Coast.

That could perfectly be an illusion.

She seems to be still able to comunicate when you get to Droknar's.

Well, there are plenty of ghosts that are still able to communicate despite being dead .

Still, I wouldn't put it past her for both Glint and her eggs to have been some kind of aspect or illusion - she may have foreseen that the bonus groups would go for her eggs and end up killing her for them so she made the fakes to let them think they had their victory. After all, you certainly don't seem to actually get anything for taking an egg out with you apart from an extra thousand experience and another bonus towards your Protector title...

No one is mentioning the beings that live in the Mists that took Shiro into the afterlife in the first place! They will most definitely be an impact in GW2 and GWEN! You know the ones I am talking about, the ghosts with ugly, bloody, holes in their heads and scars and such... I forgot their names >< ><;;

And what about Suun, the first time we heard of the Mists, they were explained from that Priest in Nahpui!

This is going to be a TIE IN with GW2, so don't be surprised if a lot of it isn't reflecting on the older stuff, and more focused on the new topics that will be heavier in GW2 such as : The Mists, etc.

Just my own Opinion!

They are the envoys and Shiro was one of them.

Not sure where Evennia has gone. Since Kryta is in civil war she would paly a big part in that but from what i have heard we wotn be heading back to Kryta......most likely we will be hearing about the events from Livia.

As for Glint it seems Anet have replaced her with the Eye of the North. Perhaps she could serve a purpose near the end or during GW2.

What happened to Shiro and The Lich? We killed them and they got back, will they get back again!?
There are so more interesting things to question.
Shiro and the Lich may make an appearence in the Norn 1 v 1 Arena (Has will most likely Rurik) but we pretty much destroyed their spirits in the RoT.They wont be back to impact the story.

Thanks for you replies guys. I was just finishing getting my Dervish though Prophecies the other day and I was like hmmm, wonder what happened to Glint and Evennia because you don't hear from them anymore. Anyway, either way it would be cool to see them again if not no big deal we got new faces in EOTN to learn about

At the end of Factions, the envoys said that we wont be seeing Shiro again and yet we did in RoT!

Those lying *****

At that point, the Realm of Torment was still considered to be an unbreakable prison. They may even have been right - Nightfall wasn't about Abaddon leaving Torment, it was about expanding Torment to cover the world.

The Envoys certainly weren't expecting the PCs to go into Torment after him...

There are plenty of adjectives and nouns that could be used to describe the Envoy's claims about what would happen to Shiro, but they weren't lying - to tell a lie one has to know one is speaking a falsehood, while they believed they were telling the truth and it just turned out that they were mistaken.

I like those Envoys. I wonder if they came from another realm or if they are extinct species from Tyria (the planet). Maybe we'll get some info in GW:EN. They may even pop up in GW2!

I assume they though a prison that could hold a god was more than good enough to hold Shiro...

Well, [wiki]Courier Torivos[/wiki] appears to be a minotaur, and not of the variety seen in Tyria or Elona...

With the exception of Courier Torivos, they all seem to be human. I do hope we get some backstory on them on GW:EN though. They were always very interesting and mysterious to me.

They could add the remaining 3 realms and make them be in one of them, giving quests.
