Mursaat
From Guild Wars Wiki
| The Guild Wars 2 Wiki also has an article on Mursaat. |
The Mursaat or the "Unseen Ones" are a group of powerful spell casters that live in Tyria. They are humanoid creatures with clawed feet and with tentacles growing from their backs.They also hover above the ground, and wear golden masks.
Following The Searing, the Charr invaded Kryta, and their victory was almost successful. A poor, drunken man, Saul D'Alessio, however, found the Mursaat deep within a dense forest and sought their aid. Through his leadership, he formed the White Mantle, a powerful religious order that worships the Mursaat, whom they call "The Unseen Ones".
The Mursaat fear the doom of their entire race, which is foretold in the Flameseeker Prophecies. So, the Mursaat order the White Mantle to rally up the Chosen - those destined to complete the prophecy, and kill them on the top of a Bloodstone. This sacrifice stops the progress of the Chosen, and powers the six Ether Seals that keep shut the Door of Komalie. This door leads to the Domain of Anguish, where can be found the Charr's gods, the Titans. They are the "flame" of the prophecies, the doom of the Mursaat. The Mursaat have the door heavily guarded by both a guardhouse and their last line of defense - the Onyx Gate.
At the end of the game, players release the Titans, and the Mursaat are driven off.
At least one Mursaat, Lazarus the Dire, escaped death by separating himself into aspects and hiding these aspects inside unsuspecting White Mantle. It is unknown if any more Mursaat survived the Titans' attacks, but the dialogue of Lazarus the Dire and Justiciar Naveed implies that most were killed.

[edit] Notes
- All Mursaat are capable of a powerful skill, Spectral Agony, which can literally destroy any character within seconds. The only counter to this is Infusion, which is done for you by the Seer primarily in the Iron Mines of Moladune mission.
- It is implied that the Seer's race lost a war with the Mursaat.
- The Mursaat summoned with the skill Summon Mursaat appears to be a Mursaat Elementalist. However, it is an animated Mursaat Elementalist Polymock piece.
- There are no collectors for Mursaat Tokens.
