Trahearne & Malyck in Cleansed Orr – GW2 | June 13, 2026

Posted on June 13, 2026

Illustration showing Trahearne and Malyck standing among the ruins of a cleansed Orr, Trahearne wielding Caladbolg Rosa. — “The Fulfillment of a Dream” or “Trahearne & Malyck in Cleansed Orr”

“The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream.”

I was reminded of this drawing last week, during the lead-up to Guild Wars 3’s announcement last Friday. During those days before – when GW3 was still a whisper of a guess – I saw fan speculation about how the teaser the studio showed early las week might be a “cleansed Orr.” Which reminded me of this older art I was inspired to paint shortly after finishing the Knight of the Thorn questline when it was first added to the game.

It involves one of my fan stories where Trahearne brings Malyck to a cleansed Orr, after Trahaerne cleanses Malyck from Mordremoth’s corruption (this fan story takes place after Heart of Thorns).

I drew the initial idea for this painting a while ago, way back in 2024! I’ll add a few earlier WIP crops in the full post below. Most are from 2024, except for the final one from this past April, which I scrounged up for this post:

Photograph of a spread from the physical printed book for "The Harbinger's Path." Shows a variety of panels featuring Trahearne and Malyck, the main artwork showing Malyck encased in glowing vines. — The Harbinger’s Path | Chapter 2, pages 3-4 *(Printed proof – not final)*

I spent much of the tail end of April finalizing The Harbinger’s Path print version, and wanted to share some photos of one of the book’s proofs from during this time! I ended up spending much more time than I’d planned refining the print version, and despite telling myself not to do this excessively – I ended up manually adjusting or making art refinements to every single page, haha. On the plus side, I’m pleased with how it’s turned out! I think the extra time was worth it, and I hope this comes across to anyone who holds the final book in their hands!

All photos in this post are graciously taken by my printer (many, many thanks to them again for being so wonderful to work with!).

The rest of the photos & post are below, along with one or two higher-resolution photos:
