So I found 3 Flaming Scepter Mages in Dalada Uplands, all of which are are level 7 and were (up to now) undocumented on wiki. They seem to be trapped in a cave you cant reach.

Is that a place where NPC's are stored before they spawn through some trigger or is it a plain bug/easter egg kind of thing?

Undocumented huh?

My bad, I was checking on the Dalada Uplands page (official wiki btw) where they werent documented under NPCs, didnt do the relics quest yet.

I was about to post that! They are part of an extremely easy quest and you can actually get inside that location. There is a gaping huge doorway which lets you walk inside, but its full of char!

I could be wrong actually. Im not sure if its char in there, but its somet!

They're prisoners... well ex-prisoners after you free them. And then they're deserters.

It's funny what they say to you. lol

Rawk On!

They're the mages you abandoned in the ruins of surmia after Rurik opened the portal and you ran through

Hah, that was a good quest. Come to think of it, I never thought about what happened to the mages after we left.

Actually they went through the portal to Nolani.
What happens to them after Rurik blows the horn during the Nolani Academy mission (note the "abandoned on Horn Hill" comment) is a mystery that is apparently answered in GW:EN.

I guess they went AFK during the cutscene and missed out on Rurik deciding to Leeroy.

Cheers,

You lost me... What do the Flaming Scepter Mages have to do with Sylvari?

Woden · Sep 24, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Nothing, as far as I know. The Sylvari tree thing is with Ventari. From what we've seen, the Sylvari don't have pointed ears either. They're plant-people, leafy hair and all.

Ah good ol' Prince Rurik... anyone remember during the betas when he'd just run straight into mobs like Leeroy Jenkins? The whole mission someone had to babysit him to see what he'd aggro next.

Ah good times... good times.

And a few months out of beta too, he would aggro 3-4 groups by himself with ease after blowing the horn.

Oh.I thought they died when I did the RoS mission.

Bai · Sep 25, 2007, 03:55 AM // 03:55

I actually have a screenshot of them.. I came across them while I was clearing out the area for Ebon Vanguard points. XD

Sorry that it's really bad quality.. I think I was playing with the lowest settings on so that I wouldn't lag or something. :P

Umm.. mages here are deserters(cant blame them) and they are arount the tree that has a a sylvary looking color.Since sylvari dosent exist yet i speculate that they will be born from this tree that mages are around at some point.

lol, neither did I. But I don't know why they were complaining, we cleared out all of the monsters for them. Ungrateful. :P
