Nightmare Court

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki

The sylvari are a race of innocence and purity, guided by the visions and experiences of the Dream of Dreams. However, within this Dream there exist terrible nightmares, which remain, to the sylvari, unexplained.

The Nightmare Court, who reject the Ventari Tablet's teachings, embrace these nightmares, attempting to understand them whilst giving life to them with acts of evil. Their sylvari converts are forced to commit dreadful acts that destroy every last ounce of virtue they may have left. The Nightmare Court hold Dark Vigils, which consist of depraved tournaments and other detestable acts, all the while contributing to the growing nightmare within the dream.

The primary motivation of the Nightmare Court is to corrupt the Pale Tree herself, bringing her around to their twisted ideals.

[edit] Trivia

• The concept for the Nightmare Court was derived from the Unseelie Court of Scottish folklore and other dark faerie lore.
