Pause right after Ogden is shown after the trailer you’ll see two separate, different looking stone dwarves.

It would be nice to fill in that hole in the Farshiverpeaks, where I suspect Braham had Jormag surrounded, just north of Bitterfrost.

Jormag does appear to be the lesser of the two evils...

Could be a new map next chapter and maybe one for chapter 4?

Yeah seemed to be the case based on preview, especially with the wording.
-
Well get your destroyer killing boots on, we are going after Primordus!
-
Looks like Dwarves and Tengus will be future allies. One of these updates could give us the DoW.
-
Wonder if Zoija will be making an appearance, since it looks like we are in an Asura lab with Taimi in Rata Sum...
-
I could see a map that goes into the main Tundra in the Far Shiverpeaks, and extends over to the Blood Legion homelands or vice versa.

> Let's take that scene, and with the goal of the same basic outcome, rewrite it. Faolain and Eir are freed and start to run for it. Faolain trips, and falls next to a big thorn. She breaks it off and runs after Eir again, and the monster appears before them. Faolain yells out to Eir, tossing the thorn to her. Eir grabs it, and uses it as a weapon to injure the monster and make it back off a bit. But then a second and a third appear from the forest, surrounding them. Eir tells Faolain that when there's an opening, she's to run for it and not look back.

> Eir attacks, cutscene ends. By the time we get there, Eir's dead and Faolain is gone. Braham has to deal with his mother's death, though having died in combat as a hero, there's perhaps an even greater legacy to carry now. And when he sees Faolain's eventual fate/fall and that Eir's sacrifice to save her was for nothing, it can leave him with serious morality questions that help to explain the later personality shift.
I prefer the original scene, personally. When a character dies in a sudden and unexpected way, it makes more realistic.

A Halloween strike mission where bloody prince thorn aligns with a spirit Joko would be interesting.

> Truce (as cease of aggression) is not the same as an Alliance. Since this arc started I've said having an alliance with jormag would be folly, but a truce? I can see that happening if there is an even bigger threat than Jormag on the horizon, and right now Anet seems to be pointing to that direction.
I could see a truce with Jormag to help fight against Primordus, especially since Jormag was hell bent on gathering an army, most likely to combat the destroyers.

I wondered this too, unless they are leaving the destroyers alone because they plan to have every dragon domain displayed with destroyers eventually. Purple, blue, etc. That’s if Primordus survives the saga.

Sure, but they are talking about an enemy driven only by destruction. Even Aurene advised that Jormag is just moving through the mists and not destroying anything. This seems to indicated that the enemy driven only by destruction is, you know, Destroyers...

A true end to the Civil War and all conflicts with the charr (e.g., human-charr conflict), ushering in a new era of peace for charrkind under a new form of leadership brought on by the vacuum of Bangar's imprisonment and Smodur's death.

> If by the text preview you're referring to the phrases like "to shake Tyria to its core" and "An Earth-Shattering Story Finale", I would not put much emphasis on those. Anet has used similar terminology before, and people proudly and loudly shouted out "PRIMORDUS IS COMING!" but it was just about something else. Like Scarlet's reveal during Clockwork Chaos being preluded with a message talking about fire and destruction, or tremors being felt just being about Mordremoth.

They use a couple phrases in the text. The shake to the core, Earth Shattering Finale, as you mentioned as well as use words like:
“Dragon minion incursions have thrown once-peaceful lands into chaos, and there’s no predicting where the next attack will erupt.” as well as “an enemy driven only by destruction” is a little more telling that we will be dealing with Destroyers erupting from these areas.

They were disabled the same time as Jormag, and we know Jormag continued to do stuff, but we don't know what Primordius has being doing this whole time.

Given by the text of the preview, it’s clear that Primordus will be a large component of these new chapters. Seeing how Primordus was a major player in Season 3 and Jormag in IBS, we could see both dragons bite the dust and as the preview states the consequences will be felt across the sea.

Yeah wonder if it’s going to be in smaller chunks then before.
-
Given the text in the preview it sounds like we will be battling destroyers, seems that the Jormag’s enemy will likely be Primordus.
“An earth shattering finale”. Sounds like Primordus.
“ Dragon minion incursions have thrown once-peaceful lands into chaos, and there’s no predicting where the next attack will erupt.”
Erupting? Sounds like Primordus and Destroyers.
“Tyria is full of people with different loyalties and priorities, but everyone is at risk from an enemy driven only by destruction.”
Sounds like destroyers and Primordus again.

Wonder if there will be new maps... will have to wait and see from the trailer.

I suspect November 24th, 2020, given the achievement Confer with Bangar ends two weeks prior.

> Maybe Canach's casual remark about Aurene being a person means a bit more than we realize. I'm not saying that Canach *consciously* knows more than he's letting on, but he may have a weakened version of the gene for True Sight, which allows him to penetrate "illusions" with varying degrees of success. His musings may be *intuitive* reflections on the truth, given his Margonite heritage.
>
> Maybe Aurene is one of the human gods in disguise? Maybe this god slipped into one of Glint's remaining eggs, using it's knowledge of the cycle of reincarnation in Northern Tyria. That might explain why Aurene would take down Joko and Balthazar. Rather than destroying them, this god might be trying to save them from destruction in a manner similar to, but not exactly the same, as the gods' manipulation of Balthazar's gene in Northern Ascalon.
A lot of this doesn’t make sense... Canach having Margonite heritage, Aurene being a reincarnated god... Balthazar’s genes... excuse me, what?

Personally, I played the story once so as to not have the plot ruined and I’m saving the additional play through on alts for when it’s voice acted.

The Confer with Bangar achievement seems to line up with a possible episode release of November 24th.
Two more lines in the achievement would show next Tuesday the 27th as the next tick and November 10th as the last one, which should mean a trailer on that date for the 24th release.

I’m thinking more like the November release.

Could still come to pass at the end of the saga. Our allies are apparently going to be showing up at the eye of the north. Maybe after Jormag’s eventual betrayal.
