Pretty sure those are from the BMP, like perhaps from the storybooks you get before/after doing the missions. The first one from Gwen's story, obviously (Charr), and the second one Saul's story, with Saul in the foreground and one of the Mursaat that finds him in the background.

EDIT: Ahh, beat by Shyft...

The picture is clearly labeled "King and Gods" and I know for a fact that Saul was never a king.

i think its a good idea not to mention what this new title is..if there is one.Also the 3rd year minis if there is info on them. It would seriously ruin all the fun. People will already prepare for some stuff such as colelcting itmes for a title whilst alot of the community dont know

If people don't want to ruin surprise, they should not look in spoiler thread.

As for collecting items or whatever for title - so what? It makes little difference if you frontload effort for title, you still need to do stuff like everyone else.

Besides, if title has limited window of opportunity to gain it then community better should know about it so that they don't miss it out. (See Polar Bear debacle.)

If title requires something then its best if people knew so that they would not loose out when cleaning inventory or so.

Perhaps Abaddon really IS a big ugly monster thing, and during his days as a God - his days of open appearance, he wore a mask to appear more human. Six eyes and everything. LET'S SPECULATE!

In the Prophecies manual, isn't the second shown during the tale of Saul D'Alessio and the Mursaat? In which case, aren't those the Mursaat? They sure look like them. They're huge, but maybe that's just for dramatization in the artwork.
That first image was one of the leaked pictures back before Nightfalls release when everyone thought Dhuum was the fallen god. It was named Abaddon and led to people becoming curious as to what this Abbadon was (until the preview weekend). Judgeing by the storyboard for what looked like a scrapped Nightfall cinematic and the fact he has those 6 eyes and Abaddons features i can only say its him before being cast down.

The second image is shown in the Propecies manual directly under the story of Doric and the Bloodstones. It also represents a King begging to gods anyway.

I always thought that the current gods are 6 non-gods that took the place of previous gods.

Abaddon could have been the last of the previous ones.

Current (Excluding Goddess of Truth)
??? -> Balthazar
Dhuum -> Grenth
??? -> Dwayna
??? -> Lyssa
??? -> Melandru

Now, for a while, there were 6 Gods - Balthazar, Grenth, Dwayna, Lyssa, Melandru, and Abaddon. A Forgotten in the Realm of Torment (I forget which) says that Abaddon usurped his power from another God as well.
Pre-Abaddon's Exile
??? -> Balthazar
Dhuum -> Grenth
??? -> Dwayna
??? -> Lyssa
??? -> Melandru
??? -> Abaddon

We currently don't know if Lyssa, Melandru, Dwayna, and Balthazar took their powers from past Gods. Mind Balthazar has a half-brother, Menzies, meaning he more likely was born into Godhood (considering his biological brother has demigodly powers, and I doubt by coincidence both had usurped some God/Demigod for power). The others, we have no idea.

Found some strings relating to a message box.
Was there a messaging/mailbox system in the betas of GW? I joined GW a couple weeks after release and missed out on the BWEs and other prerelease events.

* Added the Party Animal title track and support for it in the Hall of Monuments. Players can gain points toward the Party Animal title by using various festive items, including Bottle Rockets, Champagne Poppers, Sparklers, Ghost-in-the-Boxes, Squash Serums, Snowman Summoners, Beetle Juice Tonics, Yuletide Tonics, and Transmogrifier Tonics.

Nice call on the title track.
