Herald (Living World)

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Heralds were NPCs that were added to each of the major cities with the Flame and Frost: Prelude release. These NPCs provide information on the latest occurrences in the Living World of Tyria, and direct players where to go in order to experience any new content.

Upon logging in for the first time after the introduction of heralds, players receive a unique mail that varies depending on their race, informing them of the heralds' appearance and purpose.

Location[edit]

Historical locations[edit]

There are two heralds in each of the major capital cities (The Black Citadel, Divinity's Reach, Hoelbrak, Rata Sum, The Grove, and Lion's Arch), located next to the main entrance as well as the asura portal to Lion's Arch (or, in the case of Lion's Arch, on the bridge to the gate hub leading to the other cities).

Dialogue[edit]

During Flame and Frost: Prelude[edit]

Black Citadel
Reports are coming in from Diessa Plateau. Bad storms. And refugees too.
Talk more option tango.png And farther away?
Wayfarer Foothills is having trouble with dredge and snow storms. Hoelbrak has its own refugee problem too.
Talk end option tango.png Got it.
Talk end option tango.png Understood.
Divinity's Reach
I have news! Something's stirring in norn and charr lands, specifically the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak. Refugees have been walking into the cities.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. I may check it out.
Hoelbrak
Travelers from Wayfarer Foothills are reporting terrible storms. We've heard the same from Diessa Plateau. The refugee coordinator is looking for volunteers to help with refugees.
Talk more option tango.png Where can I find the refugee coordinator?
Probably by the refugee camp. The refugees have put up a makeshift camp between Bear's and Wolf's lodges.
Talk end option tango.png Got it. Thanks.
Talk end option tango.png Okay.
Lion's Arch
The Black Citadel and Hoelbrak have reported trouble in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills respectively. Something about refugees.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. 'Bye.
The Grove
Rata Sum

During Flame and Frost: The Gathering Storm[edit]

Black Citadel
We're sending what troops we can spare north into Diessa Plateau, but they need more help. It's Flame Legion.
Talk more option tango.png What about further afield?
Those norn in Wayfarer Foothills got it rough. They have dredge crawling up their backsides.
Talk more option tango.png Anything I can do here? (same as below)
Talk end option tango.png Got it.
Talk more option tango.png Anything I can do here?
The refugee coordinator's looking for volunteers. Go ask at the refugee camp. It's over by Memorial Waypoint.
Talk more option tango.png What about further afield? (same as above)
Talk end option tango.png Okay.
Talk end option tango.png Understood.
Divinity's Reach
Hoelbrak
Have you heard? The dredge are invading homesteads in northern Wayfarer Foothills. We have all these refugees coming here for safety.
Talk more option tango.png Anything I can do around here?
Talk to the refugee coordinator over by the refugee camp. The refugees have put up a makeshift camp between Bear's and Wolf's lodges.
Talk more option tango.png And farther afield? (same as below)
Talk more option tango.png And farther afield?
I've heard rumors that the Black Citadel has refugees appearing too, fleeing Flame Legion invasions in Diessa Plateua.
Talk end option tango.png I see.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. 'Bye.
Lion's Arch
Looking for trouble? You'll find some today in either Wayfarer Foothills or Diessa Plateau. Dredge and Flame Legion charr are making their presence known.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. Thanks.
The Grove

During Flame and Frost: The Razing[edit]

Black Citadel
The conflict in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau rages on. Priory field reporters can brief you. And hey, while you're here, there's a dodgy sylvari near the refugee camp looking for adventurers.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help the war efforts?
Look around—we're drowning in refugees. You can help here, or over in Hoelbrak. There are also scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills who can tell you which areas need securing.
Talk more option tango.png And what does the sylvari want?
Not sure. He goes by Brandubh needs help with a "secret" project. Ask him yourself—he's over by the refugee camp.
(If a member of the Order of Whispers)
Talk more option tango.png Guess I'll seek the unsought.
You'll find the unfound. Brandubh is one of ours. His partner is undercover with the Molten Alliance, and Agent Brandubh need help collecting her intel. We'd prefer your cooperation to an outsider.
Talk more option tango.png You mentioned Priory field reporters. (Same as below)
Talk end option tango.png Understood. I'll check it out.
Talk more option tango.png You mentioned Priory field reporters.
Lorekeepers, rumormongers...pick a title. Point is, they're aware of recent events. One's by the refugees in Hoelbrak; the other's a golem near the Durmand Memorial in Lion's Arch.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. Thanks.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. Thanks.
Talk end option tango.png Got it.
Talk more option tango.png What's going on out there?
Dredge and Flame Legion have combined forces in the Shiverpeaks. We heralds are calling them the Molten Alliance. Makes for shorter headlines.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help with the war efforts?
Talk end option tango.png I see.
Talk end option tango.png Okay. Thanks.
Divinity's Reach
Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau are still under attack. A Priory field reporter can fill you in. In the meantime, my sources spotted a sylvari in the Black Citadel who's desperate for help.
Talk more option tango.png How can I assist the war efforts?
Start in the cities: the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak. There are also scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills who can tell you which areas are struggling most.
Talk more option tango.png And what does the sylvari want?
We're not sure. He goes by Brandubh and needs help with a "secret" project. I suggest you ask him yourself—he's near the refugee camp in the citadel.

Hoelbrak
Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau are under siege. I talked to a Priory field reporter—she's a good information source, by the way—and she told me there's a sylvari in the Black Citadel who needs help.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help?
This is a good place to start, either here or in the Black Citadel. There are also scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills who can tell you which areas are most vulnerable.
Talk more option tango.png And what does the sylvari you mentioned want?
Not sure. He says his name is Brandubh, and he needs help with a "secret" project. I suggest you ask him yourself—he's near the refugee camp in the citadel.

Things are still grim in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. A Priory field reporter can fill you in. and if you're feeling generous, a sylvari in the Black Citadel has need of an adventurer's skills.

Rata Sum
The situation's intensified in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. If you're grossly uninformed, consult a Priory field reporter. Otherwise, a sylvari in the Black Citadel requires immediate assistance.
Talk more option tango.png How can I help with the war efforts?
Start in the cities: the Black Citadel and Hoelbrak. There are also scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills who can tell you which areas are most vulnerable.

The Grove
Oh me, but they're having troubles in Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. War, even. A Priory field reporter told me she met a sylvari in the Black Citadel who was asking for help. A sylvari so far away!
Talk more option tango.png How can I help?
This is a good start, but you should travel to Hoelbrak or the Black Citadel. I hear there are scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills—just outside those cities—who can tell you which areas are most hurt.
Talk more option tango.png And what does that sylvari you mentioned want?
Not sure. He says his name is Brandubh and he needs help with a "secret" project. I suggest you ask him yourself—he's near the refugee camp in the citadel.

During Flame and Frost: Retribution[edit]

The Molten war continues! The Vigil are assaulting their weapons facilities, a sylvari Whispers operative in the Black Citadel has asked for aid, and a Priory news reporter has gone to Hoelbrak.
Talk more option tango.png Weapons facilities?
The Molten Alliance built weapons facilities underground throughout the Wayfarer Foothills and Diessa Plateau. Look for the entrances and don't go in without backup!
Talk more option tango.png How else can I help?
Go over to Hoelbrak or the Black Citadel. There are also scouts in Diessa Plateau and Wayfarer Foothills who can tell you which areas are most vulnerable.

The Molten Alliance is on the run! Their weapons are still lying around and need cleaning up, but some places have built victory bonfires. Either help mop up the enemy or celebrate–or both!
Talk more option tango.png What weapons are out there?
Cursed sonic periscopes, still active in Wayfarer Foothills, Plains of Ashford, Diessa Plateau, Iron Marches, and Snowden Drifts. The Vigil are in those areas, helping with the problem.
Talk more option tango.png Where are the bonfires?
Near the refugee camps in Hoelbrak, Black Citadel, and Lion's Arch. Go and celebrate!

During The Secret of Southsun[edit]

This release did not have content-specific dialogue like the others.
Black Citadel
Divinity's Reach
No gossip here, I'm afraid. If it weren't for the occasional half-naked sylvari passing through, I'd be bored to tears.
Talk more option tango.png What's your job?
I'm the queen's herald. I gather information from our scouts and the rumor mill. Then I make sure everyone else knows about it too.
Talk end option tango.png Good. Keep it up.
Talk end option tango.png Good to know. 'Bye.
Hoelbrak
Lion's Arch
It's a good day to wander the countryside. I have no big news–nor little news, for that matter.
Talk more option tango.png What are your duties?
I gather information for the Ship's Council and relay it to our citizens. However, today's so quiet you can hear a sparrow fart.
Talk end option tango.png Okay then.

Rata Sum
The Grove
Oh dear. We have a reprieve from the chaos. I have nothing to report today.
Talk more option tango.png You usually have something to report?
Oh yes. The Firstborn asked me to be the official herald of the Grove. I gather and disseminate important information–usually.
Talk end option tango.png I'll come back later.
Talk end option tango.png Good to know. 'Bye.

During Last Stand at Southsun[edit]

Canach has been spotted on Southsun Cove and may be behind the recent animal attacks there. Who knows how much lasting damage he's done? Head to Southsun Cove to see for yourself!
Talk more option tango.png Who's Canach?
He's the sylvari mercenary who stirred up the karka a while back and got the Lion's Arch lighthouse destroyed. He's at it again, too, making the karka crazy–or "crazier," I should say.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks for the information.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
June 4, 2013
All hands to Southsun Cove! Canach is in custody, but wildlife all over the area is still going insane! Lionguard and Consortium are calling for all the help they can get.
Talk more option tango.png Where's Southsun Cove?
In the Sea of Sorrows, south of Lion's Arch. You can get there by boat or by Asura Gate, but first you have to reach Lion's Arch itself.

Talk end option tango.png Thanks.

Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Lion's Arch
On behalf of the Lion's Arch Tourism Bureau, I'd like to welcome you to Lion's Arch and to Dragon Bash. How can I help you?
Talk more option tango.png What should I see?
Everything, but it's my job to say that. I'll make this easier for you. Do you want historical sites, games, or festivities?
Talk more option tango.png Let's start with historical sites.
A history buff, I see. You'll want to check out the new Cobiah Marriner statue in White Crane Terrace.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the games.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the festivities.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk more option tango.png Games. Definitely games.
Ah, then you'll want to fight other Tyrians face-to-face in Dragon Ball. Or maybe betting on the birdies in the moa races is more your speed.
Talk more option tango.png I like the sound of Dragon Ball. Where is it?
You'll want to talk to Finolla near the Mystic Forge. She'll explain it all. Have fun.
Talk more option tango.png And the moa races?
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk more option tango.png I feel lucky. Point me to the moa races.
Look for an asura named Tigg at Farshore Ward in the city limits. He's in charge of the races.
Talk more option tango.png What about Dragon Ball?
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk more option tango.png I'd rather hear about the historical sites.
Talk more option tango.png Festivities! Tell me, tell me, tell me.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk more option tango.png Time for some fun. Festivities.
You want a spectacle? Well, you got it! First, is the holodragon lighting up the Lion's Arch sky. Then there's the pinatas, ready for bashing. Last but not least, the effigies.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the pinatas.
Keep an eye out for them in the city. When you spot one, bash it open. There's a number of treats inside for the taking. A harmless way to vent anger against the real dragons.
Talk more option tango.png What are the effigies?
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the sites.
Talk more option tango.png I want to hear about the games.
Talk end option tango.png Got it.
Talk more option tango.png What are the effigies?
Oh, it's the centerpiece of Dragon Bash. Two massive dragon effigies will be burned, symbolizing Tyria's united struggle, sacrifice, and eventual victory over the Elder Dragons.
Talk more option tango.png Now about the pinatas.
Talk more option tango.png What about the games?
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the festivities.
Talk more option tango.png What are these historical sites?
Talk end option tango.png Good-bye.
Talk more option tango.png No, wait. Tell me about the games.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the festivities.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk end option tango.png I'll figure it out on my own.
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.

Captain Magus the Bloody Handed[sic] is said to have the details. You'll find him in Fort Marriner's Main Haven Headquarters. Good luck!
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.

During Cutthroat Politics[edit]

It's Kiel versus Gnashblade! Whoever has the most supporters wins the Zephyr Sanctum trade contract and secures the open Ship's Council seat, so support your favorite!
Talk more option tango.png There's an open Council seat?
Don't you remember? Those vile Aetherblade pirates assassinated Captain Theo Ashford, opening a seat on the ruling council of Lion's Arch.
Talk more option tango.png I see. How can I support the candidates?
Speak to Kiel, Gnashblade, and Sailor Devin in the Labyrinthine Cliffs bazaar. They'll each provide you with opportunities to earn support for your candidate of choice.
Talk end option tango.png Got it. Thanks!
Talk end option tango.png I see. Thanks.
Talk end option tango.png All right!
After election ended
Congratulations to Captain Ellen Kiel, newest member of the Ship's Council of Lion's Arch!

Talk end option tango.png Thanks
Talk end option tango.png Congratulations.

Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Divinity's Reach herald after completing Opening Ceremony
Enjoying the festivities? The Crown Pavilion has turned out to be an exciting new diversion.
Talk more option tango.png I think I'll let my bruises heal before I visit the pavilion again. What else is there to do?
You could assist Her Majesty's hot air balloon pilots, or help light torches around the Beacons of Kryta.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the Beacons of Kryta.
Visit beacons throughout the countryside to retrieve the Flame of Kryta and light nearby ceremonial torches in Her Majesty's honor. The nearest beacon is at the Crown Pavilion.
Talk back option tango.png What else can I do?
Talk end option tango.png Thanks.
Talk more option tango.png Tell me about the hot air balloons.

Trivia[edit]

  • An anonymous herald referring to themselves simply as "Your herald" sends characters an introductory mail each time they reach the level of a Dungeon's story or unlock its explorable mode. During Living World Season 4, she finally reveals herself to be Lady Camilla.
  • Based on the dialogue, it seems like there was another version of the Beacons of Kryta activity during Queen's Jubilee planned.
