Hello Guild Wars 2 community! A new poll has dropped! 🐦⬛
(At least, hopefully new, lol.) I'm curious, which blessing did your Commander get on their first/canon go through the Raven Sanctum in the story mission "The Invitation?" Choose and tell me in the tags why they made their specific decisions :)
Compiled explanations from the wiki below for ease of access:
The trial choices in order:
Save the wounded man or save the healers
Save the spell tome or save the historical record
Save the queen or save the prince
Blessings:
Blessing of Daybreak
"When the fear of beastly claws and a child's pain is made sharp by the knowledge of elders, we make no mistakes. But do we grow?"
Healers -> historical record -> prince
Grace of Dawn
"When wisdom is favored in all things—a healing hand, a text of old, a beloved queen—we lose the sharpened sword of the truly bold."
Healers -> historical record -> queen
Consecration of Morning
"We seek to destroy monsters with sharp claws and icy breath, but do we protect ourselves from the beasts shaped like us, who prey on the young and vulnerable, who seek to rule us?"
Healers -> spell tome -> prince
Invocation of Midday
"When we flee from the things we fear most - the teeth of beasts, the storm of a dragon, a change of power-we risk running backward."
Healers -> spell tome -> queen
Supplication of Midday
"We favor the skill of healers and the wisdom of elders over the uncertainty of the future. But the young take chances, and the young push us forward."
Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince
Consecration of Evening
"We long for the comfort of a healing touch, an ancestral word of wisdom, a leader we know and trust. But comfort is fleeting, and with it comes inertia."
Wounded man -> historical record -> queen
Grace of Dusk
"We sacrifice so much—safety from the claws of death, knowledge of the ages, a steadfast reign—to propel ourselves forward. But if we move too fast, do we risk the inability to stop?"
Wounded man -> spell tome -> prince
Blessing of Twilight
"We try so hard to do the right thing. We heal, we protect our people, we preserve stability. But we cannot control how the winds of fate may shift, and a tight grip can sometimes hurt more than it helps."
Wounded man -> spell tome -> queen

A few weeks ago, this artwork, Portrait of an Arab, was selected to represent my IB Visual Arts class in my school's permanent collection. I'm proud to be part of the Lebanese diaspora and even prouder to put our culture in the halls of this school so little boys and little girls, Arabic or not, can look past the extremism and appreciate the beautiful things that shape this culture!!
Watercolour, ink, henna and collage on paper.

I've said Skitch isn't a perfectionist and encourages making mistakes on their own projects with trial and error, but there is one thing to note:
Skitch's passion for their job and what they do has no bounds. If they have a project in the works, they're going to see it through to the end no matter how long it takes.
This, to me, stems from an underlying insecurity for Skitch, not in terms of their ability to do their job, but the validity of their job and how serious people take them, specifically higher profile people like Wanda and Kate (who they are around regularly).
Again, we know skitch is very light-hearted or easygoing individual, but they're very serious and even defensive about their job as a metalworker because they believe that it is no less valuable than anything anybody else does and this is what they want to do. It's also important to note that Wanda is not the first "high-profile" person they've made a connection to, and that connection going sour presumably led to this insecurity.
That's why I think it matters so much to Skitch that Wanda is so interested in their projects, that she gives good input, that she drops by TMD as often as she does, that she even wants to hear about their colleagues that are around Skitch. Wanda's so involved in Skitch's, work life and that she's never side-eyed Skitch's job or question the merit for it.
It also helps that, as a jeweler (a sub-section of metalworking), Wanda understands and respects all that goes into Skitch's job more than the average person.
