Jora's Curse

[edit] Cinematic

<Party leader>: "What is this creature, Jora? You seem to know a lot about it."

Jora: "I know all too much, I am afraid."

Jora: "My brother and I were both hunters. One day, we chased our prey across Drakkar Lake, a place our people normally shun."

Svanir: "Do you feel it, Jora? Something in the air."

Jora: "All I feel is a chill harsher than any blizzard."

Svanir: "Yes, it is cold. But it also feels ancient. Old and powerful."

Jora: "This place is cursed, Svanir. Let us leave it."

Svanir: "No. A simple spell should reveal the nature of the power."

Jora: "I do not know what we contacted that day, but its energies nearly consumed us."

Jora: "I resisted the power, and was cursed by it. I cannot embrace the wild. I can no longer become the bear."

Jora: "My brother seized the power and went mad. He was transformed. He became the creature you fought."

Jora: "My brother now raids the Norn settlements. He avoids me, though I pursue him."

Jora: "I communed with the bear spirit. She wishes you to aid me."

<Party leader>: "You want us to help find your brother."

Jora: "No. I want you to help me kill him."

The ancient power Svanir contacted on Drakkar Lake was one of the ancient dragons that will feature in Guild Wars 2. It is commonly referred to by players as Drakkar but is now known as Jormag.
