The Harbinger’s Path: Panel Preview | April 13, 2025

“Malyck is no one. He comes from no where. On one hand, I am sorry for him. He has no roots. On the other, I am envious. He can become whatever he chooses. I hope he chooses well.”
– Excerpt from “The Nightmare Harbinger” by Amaranda the Lonesome

Some weekend progress for The Harbinger’s Path! This previews a panel from the prologue for the comic. I’ve always loved the character “Amaranda the Lonesome” from the Guild Wars 2 personal story, and really enjoyed depicting her penning her book, “The Nightmare Harbinger,” here. The comic shows the final (and my personal favorite) line from her book, which is quoted above.

I have always loved this final line from Amaranda the Lonesome’s musings about Malyck. I remember when I first read it (I believe several months before Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorn’s launch), my mind was lit ablaze with speculations for what might have happened to him, and what we might find out when we saw him again in the expansion. Months and months of excited speculation and theories to ponder!

(At the time, it was generally accepted there was a high chance we’d see the character again in this expansion, and find out what happened to him after his sylvari personal story arc.)

It was a lot of fun attempting to transcribe this line to New Krytan! I have done this once or twice before in past GW2-related projects (it might have even been partial transcriptions of this same line), but never one this long. It took me a while to write every letter, but it was satisfying to do! I tried my best, but there might be errors. If anyone more familiar with New Krytan notices any errors with my transcription, please feel free to let me know. :)
