Mursaat
From Guild Wars Wiki
The Mursaat or the "Unseen Ones" are a group of powerful spell casters that live in Tyria. They are humanoid creatures with tentacles growing from their backs and clawed feet, and hover above the ground. They wear masks as well.
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 the Maguuma Jungle and sought their aid. Through his leadership, he formed the White Mantle.
The Mursaat are aware of, and fear, the Flameseeker Prophecies, which foretell the doom of their entire race. Since the Mantle worship them, however, they give them orders to rally up the Chosen - those destined to complete the prophecy, and kill them on the top of a Bloodstone - thereby both stopping their progress and powering 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, their doom. The Mursaats 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.
