"To Grenth's ears, there came a cry from the soul of one who had suffered long and profoundly. The god was drawn to the woman who called, for she had no mercy left in her.
Seeking vengeance for her husband's violence against her, she evoked Grenth's judgment upon the husband even as she plunged the knife into his heart.
As Grenth stood over her and the husband she had murdered, he saw that she had loved him once, that she had borne him children, and that she had been a good and loyal wife.
He saw that the man had never loved her, but had resented her and their children for draining his pockets. He saw that the man had not been loyal, and had never been kind.
He saw the abuses he had rained down upon his wife. And so, the god of death said, "I find you guilty, woman, of murdering your husband. When it is your time, you will pay for what you have done."
"I understand," said the woman as she bowed before Grenth.
"And now," said Grenth, "I give you a choice. You may come with me now and watch your husband suffer for the wrongs he has done. Or you may walk away, and I will claim you only when it is your time."
The woman said, "I gave my husband my love and life. I will come now, to see this tale's end and to share his suffering. It will hurt him more to know that I am witnessing his pain." And so it was."
- Parable of Grenth

I absolutely love your presentation of lore videos, even more so than other GW2 content creators. Please make more, if you can! :)

[@Athis]

I have lots of ideas and feel pretty passionate about it so there should be many more to come!

[@bloomins8088]

lovely video.~ Very well made

[@OneEliteGeek]

I need more of these. I love calm lore videos when getting ready for bed. Just please don't have any loud sounds to wake me up lol

[@PaperRoll]

This video is amazing never stop 😮
I wonder if the voice in the void is something we will get to understand more about since the term void means something now 🧐

[@Athis]

Thank you! I am thinking that I want to focus more on lore videos in the future so there is definitely more to come!
That is actually a really good point. Dhuum is a being trying to become more powerful through magic, just like Balthazar and most of the Elder Dragons kind of did. So there might definitely be a connection there.
