Feedback:User/MularcTemplare/New Fractal Designs

Early in 2013, Arenanet announced they were going to add new fractals. Around that time, posts on the official suggestion forums appeared describing wanting the missions to cover certain themes/events/areas. I was going to just add my voice to the lot, but decided instead to attempt to design what I would do as a design exercise. Below is the details of that project, which has been completed in lots over the year. They are put here in the suggestions section because their length stops them from being posted in any meaningful way on the official suggestion forums.

The numbered fractals would be added to the current rotation, and the bonus fractals would be joined with the Solid Ocean Fractal to make a rotation of bonus fractals, appearing only as the 4th fractal in a set with every even level of fractals.
