Choose my Adventure: Reaching the Crystal Desert

Join me as I brave my way through lands unknown in an adventure dictated entirely by you, the Massively readers! Vote for everything from game played to character creation to ultimate goal and watch it unfold in a series of journals and galleries here on the site. Then, as the ultimate goal is reached, we'll do it all over again in a new game!

When last we saw our Guild Wars heroine, she had just finished exploring every city in Kryta and was off to do the same in the Maguuma Jungle. According to your votes, Moira Zonk the Necromancer headed off to unlock each of the eight cities in the Jungle and ultimately reach the Amnoon Oasis in the Crystal Desert.

Now that she sits at the Oasis, recovering from her travels, she's ready to head off in whatever direction you'd like. Keep reading below for more on her travels and the newest poll where you can vote on where she ventures next.
Making her way through the Maguuma Jungle, Moira found herself absolutely tired of the large insects and spiders she met along the way, not to mention the fact that the humidity played a number on her hair. She met some new and exciting people along the way, including prominent members of both the Shining Blade and the White Mantle.

But now that she has taken the voyage across the great sea and landed in the Crystal Desert, she's ready for that change of pace. She's ready to kill new and exciting creatures, and make minions out of them. The only thing she's not ready for is the bright desert sun.

So now that she made it this far, where should she go next?

- Make it to Thunderhead Keep. This would involve finishing all desert quests, a few in the Southern Shiverpeaks and then ultimately landing in what was once known as the most difficult mission in the game.

- Find the secret entrance to Elona. This would involve traveling to the southeastern-most reaches of the desert to meet the Forgotten Guardian who guards the secret entrance to Elona. Since Moira has not completed the requirements in Nightfall to actually go through the portal, this would just be to reach that portal.

- Become Ascended. This involves fighting the Doppelganger, which grants Ascension.

- Unlock all cities and outposts in the Crystal Desert. This would involve running to ten different cities and outposts and unlocking them on the map.

Be sure to follow along in the in-character gallery below to hear Moira's own accounts of her travels. The gallery is large and contains her entire adventure, but this week's fun starts here. Warning! There are storyline spoilers throughout her journal.
