\"Illustration<\/a>
“The Fulfillment of a Dream” or “Trahearne & Malyck in Cleansed Orr”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I was reminded of this drawing last week, during the lead-up to Guild Wars 3’s<\/strong><\/a> 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<\/a> questline when it was first added to the game. <\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n

Slightly higher-resolution version in the full post, after a reddit<\/a> user asked for a higher-res version for their desktop (I hope you enjoy it!): <\/p>\n
