The Scribe



The Scribe is a fictional character and periodical article that was published weekly on the official Guild Wars website. Written by Andrew Patrick from the perspective of a traveling monastery scribe, the articles ranged news about the Alliance Battles, stories about guilds' upcoming events, content updates, and occasionally a few honorable mentions of individual characters that were noted as being particularly helpful to others.

In the past, the Andrew Patrick occasionally logged onto a character called "Monastery Scribe" while Gaile Gray came to talk to players in-game. During these times, his chat text appears in purple.

The scribe has been inactive since November 20, 2007, but all articles are still available on the official Guild Wars website. According to Regina Buenaobra, ArenaNet has no plans to reactivate him.
