ArenaNet teases next Guild Wars 2 living story 'Flame and Frost: The Razing', features two new characters

If you're waiting for Guild Wars 2 to update the ongoing Flame & Frost saga, rest assured the next chapter will be arriving before month's end. ArenaNet isn't saying a whole lot about this next update, but we do know a few story details for Flame & Frost: The Razing. Sounds ominous, doesn't it?

Now that we know the Molten Alliance (dredge) and Flame Legion have teamed up the norn and charr, folks are finally ready to fight back. Of course, by "folks" I'm referring to NPCs, because players have been killing the invaders for a good week now.

As the alliance sweeps across the Shiverpeaks and Old Ascalon, razing settlements and homesteads, two individuals aim to stop the destruction. The norn Braham and charr Rox, more specifically.

Here's Anet's description for The Razing:

A hybrid army erupts through fiery portals in the Shiverpeaks. A Molten Alliance between the dredge and the charr Flame Legion has created a force powerful enough to massacre any who stand in their way. One settlement, one homestead at a time, they’re wiping out all resistance. The razing has begun.

In Flame and Frost: The Razing you’ll meet the norn Braham and Rox the charr, two Tyrians who fervently believe in doing what’s right, no matter the risk. Join Braham and Rox in a desperate battle to defend their homelands from annihilation in the third installment in this four-part series!

I'm assuming the redhead in the artwork is Braham. No idea what Rox looks like at this point, however, much less anything else about the upcoming update. Expect The Razing to go live on March 26.
