an excerpt from Guildwiki :

Gameplay

"Each mission is a single-player adventure that lets you play as the historical character???Gwen, Turai Ossa, Master Togo, and Saul D'Alessio???complete with a custom Skill Bar and specialized attributes created just for that legendary personality."

Missions take place at locations within existing Guild Wars world maps, however the events all take place in the past.

* To access the Bonus Mission Pack missions, speak to Durmand [Historian] in any of the major port cities: Lion's Arch, Kaineng Center, or Kamadan.
* For each mission, you will receive a book that tells the story leading up to the mission, along with any weapons your character will use during that mission.
* To launch the mission, equip any provided weapons and click the ???enter mission??? button found inside the story book.
* The Bonus Mission Pack missions are all single player adventures where you play the role of the main character from each story book. You will become that character for the duration of the mission and your normal skill bar will be replaced with that character's set of skills.
* Upon completing a Bonus Mission Pack mission, you will be returned to the port city you were in previously or to your character's home port city. Your story book will have three new pages added at this point, summarizing the events that occurred during the mission as well as the effect those events had on the Guild Wars world.
* You can take completed books back to Durmand to have the stories authorized. You can then trade in authorized stories to one of the four story scribes (located next to Durmand in each port city) for a customized weapon from the historic period you witnessed during the mission. However, you will no longer be able to keep the book in your Xunlai storage once it has been authorized.
* Completing each mission also unlocks ???Discovery Mode??? for that mission, adding three hidden, bonus goals for you to discover. For each bonus goal you complete, Durmand will give any one character on your account an additional authorized story. The additional stories can only be earned once for each account, but the only real value of these books are as time savers; they offer nothing that can't be obtained through simply running the missions repeatedly. Note that you only need to complete a mission once per account to unlock discovery mode for that mission for all characters on that account.

It should come up with "Historical Debate:_____________

Gives you a hint,
oh and you get 1 discovery per mission per account, 2.5k reward plus an extra weapon.

It means you can do the missions again and unlock things that weren't an option before. For example go into gwens mission and notice how you can now find all the hiding spots in the field as an objective.
