Guild Wars 2: Ascalonian Catacombs Dungeon Cinematic

Both a short new blog post and a new cinematic trailer have been sent out by Arena.Net and the Guild Wars 2 team. Both center around the Ascalonia Catacombs dungeon and the cinematic video that players will see on entry. The cinematic is, according to Horia Dociu, vital to setting the mood of the area players are entering.

In this particular cinematic, we actually get to see the charr laying siege to Ascalon, watch the walls of the human city crumble, and hear the mad King Adelbern damning the entire kingdom with his infamous cursed sword Magdaer. These types of cinematics are a fun way for us and the fans to get a glimpse into Tyria’s history, and actually show in the most dramatic way possible how history has come to pass

    I just noticed the sword that the king used to destroy the city is the same sword the charr is wearing at the end.

    That's correct, there are historically two of these swords: Magdaer and Sohothin. The former is still in possesion of King Adelbern, the latter is now in the hands of the Charr, Rytlock Brimstone.

    Nah, he didn't get it from Adelbern. The sword Rytlock has was owned by the son of Adelbern who died half-way through GW1. I don't know how Rytlock aquired it but he did.

    This is not a game.

    im sure Rurik stil had it when he was brought back to life by the leech near to the end of phrophecys, so it would be quite intresting it find out how Rytlock atcually got it.
