White Mantle / Shining Blade

After explaining a lot in alliance chat about the new content that a lot of people don't know about hopefully this will help bring down the same questions in alliance chat in game.
(Copy and pasted from [ICBM] forum.)


Last/This week, two major things were introduced to Guild Wars with the update. One thing was the buff to PvE Mesmers, the other thing the new content added to the War in Kryta.
Now that I got a handle on the new stuff I'm here to talk about it. Take a look with me at events happening in and around Lion’s Arch.

If you have finished Eye of the North expansion or have seen Zinn’s Trial outside Vloxen, you can witness Livia in the Shining Blade war camp coming back with two notorious and exiled Asuras: Blimm and Zinn. At about the same time Evennia recruits the help of the Ebon Vanguard out side the Eye of the North outpost.
After seeing those events, you can now enter the keep of Lion’s Arch via a new NPC that guards the door. Inside the keep are Salma and her Lionguard & Blade allies, random dialogues by the camp fire and new collectors. Those take “Orders of the Confessor”, random drops by Peacekeeper and White Mantle foes, and exchange them for “War Supplies”.
You can also earn those “War Supplies” by killing Peacekeeper bosses in Kryta. The bounty can be picked up right next to the entrance from "Wanted by the Shining Blade" sign and it will change daily, just like the z-quests.
A much more profitable way to get the supplies and the “Royal Gifts”, which can hold new minis, consumables and other stuff, is to guard Courier Falken on his runs through Kryta http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Courier_Falken.

Check out all new things and join in the fight against the White Mantle.

I will try and update prices on these the new items as soon as possible for the site, (when I get a chance after heavy research of course).

I'm as happy as a puppy at a new pan about all this! New content and challenging stuff to do! I want to start daily events to get this stuff done, but Scott and I need to get proficient and gain a better understanding of it all first.

I really want some of the new greens!

Ditto. There's a few throw-aways in there, but it seems like a lot of the new greens have pretty good stats and some great unique skins. Time to start finally adding to my collection again.

I'm excited about new content in general, but a little disappointed that it seems so confusing to follow and understand. It seems pretty sloppy to me overall, but it's better than nothing.
