In light of Guild Wars 5th anniversary, I have decided to post a story that has been brewing around in my head for a while now. Anything said from here on in is not part of official Guild Wars lore and is of my creation only.

Chapter One
Komruk Akida leaned over the railing of the boat and promptly threw up. No matter how many times he used the Antidote Signet embedded in his armor, sea sickness always brought the dervish to his knees.

He pressed his thumb to the Signet on his vambrace, feeling it pulse as his stomache slowly unwound. He breathed a sigh of relief. “Bless Melandru for ranger-uuuurrrrp!” A fresh wave a vomit surged up.

“Captain! Captain, are you alright?” Ohran Dunna, a monk, jogged across the deck to where Komruk stood leaned over the side.

Komruk shook his head and sighed. “Take a gue-uuuurrp!” Luckily this time it was only the dry heaves. “Please tell me we’re close to Lion’s Arch”

Ohran nodded. “Yessir, we just passed the White Mantle Blockade. Apparantly they’ve locked down the ports to cut off supplies to the Shining Blade in the Southern Shiverpeaks.”

Just over the bow of the ship stood the white stone buildings of Lions Arch. Any other day of the week, Komruk would find himself lost in the markets, bartering and selling until he ended up with several bags worth of platinum and new weapons. However, this was no normal visit. Lion’s Arch was a shadow of its former glory, now a militarized zone due to the Krytan Civil War. And besides, he had more important business to conduct here.

He stood to his full imposing height of six feet tall, straightening his Elite Sunspear robes. However, unlike most Sunspear members, he did not dye his armor white and gold. Instead, he opted for a very dark burgundy, with polished silver elbow guards and legging blade snares, each bearing the telltale insignia of the Sunspears Order. On his shoulders were the rank patches of a Sunspear Captain. He was recently promoted because of his actions in the Gate of Anguish, leading a band of stranded Sunspears back to safe ground from the center of Ravenheart Gloom. For that display of excellent tactics in the situation of an isolated unit, Komruk was given command of a special unit “Have the Far Spears assembled?” Komruk asked.

The monk nodded. “Yes sir. They’re waiting to be briefed.”
