The chief advisor and aide to Princess Salma, Evennia is one of the most influential women in Kryta. "I am certain we can work something out." The fate of Kryta now rests in her steady young hands. Salma has rallied the Shining Blade in a secret camp in the wilderness, and has reached out beyond Krytan borders for help. Salma set aside her holy duties as a priestess and answered the call of destiny, hoping to restore justice and peace to her people. The daughter of King Jadon and Priestess Berea of the Temple of Ages, Salma has both royal blood and the blessing of the gods. Princess Salma is the rightful heir to the Krytan throne. “Peace and prosperity are the birthright of all Krytans.” She currently rules her loyal charges in exile, planning for the day when she can return to Lion’s Arch and lift the yoke of oppression from the necks of her countrymen. Princess Salma, the only surviving descendant of the Doric line, is the rightful heir to the Krytan throne. In the absence of a king, The White Mantle cult took control. The Royal Line has continued uninterrupted for generations, until the great charr invasion, when the strength of Doric failed and King Jadon abandoned his throne. The royalty of Kryta descend from King Doric, the first king of united Tyria. With their support, the strength of our steel, and the courage of our convictions, Kryta will have a Queen once again. The citizens of Kryta have rallied to our side. Now is the time to strike! The Shining Blade will seat the rightful heir Princess Salma on the throne in Lion's Arch and restore monarchy and justice to Kryta. Today, the remnants of the White Mantle cling to power with a desperate, iron grip.
#THE SHINING BLADE GUILD WARS 2 SERIES#
The true nature of the White Mantle and the inhuman sorcerers they worship was exposed for all to see in a series of violent conflicts that left the Mantle high council dead and the future of the cult in doubt. We called ourselves The Shining Blade and vowed to hack away the corruption and decay that robbed Kryta of her greatness. In the wilds of Kryta, the patriot leader Evennia gathered unto her a loyal band of patriots. In truth, the White Mantle offered these ill-fated Chosen as sacrificial victims to their demonic masters. Worst of all, each year Krytan citizens were chosen for "special education" and never seen again. The wealth of the land was held only by those who worshipped the Unseen Ones. Saul led an army of white-robed followers against the charr, and after their victory on the battlefield, the White Mantle seized power.īut the protection of the White Mantle came at a price. Saul the Deceiver delivered a false message of salvation during Kryta's darkest hour, when the charr invasion threatened our nation's survival. The White Mantle was a religious cult formed years ago in Kryta by Saul D'Alessio, a drunk and thief who preached the false doctrine of the Unseen Ones, his mysterious invisible masters. To understand who we are, you must first understand how the White Mantle seized control of our beloved Kryta. We are the Shining Blade, true sons and daughters of Kryta who struggle to rid our homeland of the oppressive White Mantle regime and restore the Krytan monarchy. History of the Shining Blade is part of the Guild Wars Beyond backstory of War in Kryta.
