New update, I heard there were 2 new NPCs in Kama, and I'm getting Wayfarer's Mark drops (purple) that say they can be traded in
A whole bunch of new NPCs: Danee Roarbear, Tylor Pierce, Anderus Patric
New items from quests: Get quest from Festival Coordinator Khuri in Kamadan, get a Proof of Winds?
EDIT: Appears to be some kind of Festival, ending on August 30th
Festival Updates
The spirit of adventure is always moving us forward, but it can be difficult to reflect on the journey while you’re in motion. Recent scholarship has unearthed a festival, once observed by our forebearers, that addresses just this notion. The Wayfarer’s Reverie honors the traveler inside each of us, encouraging revelry and revisitation. The world is yours to explore—again or for the first time. Join the celebration!
For those looking to walk the Wayfarer’s path, festival coordinators have been added to Lion’s Arch, Kamadan, Kaineng Center, and the Eye of the North to offer festival quests for their respective regions.
NPCs will be dropping by the major towns—as well as a few locations off in the wilds—to share their insights during the festival.
Special drops and bonuses will be in effect throughout the Wayfarer’s Reverie, which will run through August 30th.
New update!

Yeah, there's a new quest too. And a collector for the Wayfarer's Marks in Kamadan, as well as miscellaneous new NPCs. It seems to be a "last hurrah, walk down memory lane" type deal.
EDIT: Or maybe the precursor to the Elonian Winds of Change update? Since the NPCs keep talking about the future, and one even directly mentions "winds of change".

and just when i was going to back up my bags and retire..i'm back again 
I have no idea what this content is ut i recon i'll be hooked again. Weird to think its almost october again which i imagine will have (hopefully) more content for halloween and the Joko story. NF was released during halloween time so it would be pretty good to start the new beyond content then.

Confused the heck out of me when a wayfarer mark drop while I was doing some runs as Kieran in HotN. Anyone know what you can turn em in for?

Consumables, mainly 1 point ones

The Sworn to Winds broad in Embark Beach seems to be the end all of it.

Theres a new quest in Kama, LA, KC, and EotN all next to the festival collectors. Each quest rewards the same amount of XP as when the related game was released (LA=2005, KC and Kama=2006, and EotN=2007) and 2012 gold as well as a Proof of Flames, Winds, Mountains, or Waves depending on which city quest your doing. Each quest seems to be a "Visit these Locations" quest and I have no idea what the Proofs are used for.

Seeing a friend as an npc just made my day.

I thought they would do something for the 'transition'....since there has been too many people complaining about not finishing titles before the end of the month----
just glad they do care enough to give us some new content...
THANKS ANET!!
(will have to wait until later to log-on....dang rl)

I got a tormented shield, which was customised. So lame.
Haodu
Already customised? Is this a way for "normal" people to get tormented weapons for HoM?

Think I get the picture of what ANet wanted to make End-fest like... and tbh I like that idea.

So getting all proofs gives you a torment item ?
Can you dedicate it ?

It's apparently customized to the character you open the gift on, which means you can put in HoM (considering you don't have it already).
Maybe it isn't just Tormented weapons, maybe it's HoM thingies in general??

I got a torm scythe as a derv (customized) from gift =/

Can only do the quests once per account :'(
DarkGanni
Just finished the quests and opened the pack with my monk, got a tormented scepter (divine favor).
EDIT: For those wondering, yes it can be dedicated in HoM. :P

I got a torm sword on my warrior, but yes you can still put it in your HoM even though it's customized already.

Is there even a point to doing DoA now? :P
I got a Divine Staff on my monk, wondering if it's a coincidence...

I don't think it is judging by the current posts, except maybe for the shield on sin.

Could it be based on what you are wielding at the time?

2 of the "Sworn" NPCS have been used now, do you think we will see the other 2 become active during this event or soon enough?
thedukesd
I got a tormented shield (tactics) from the reverie gift, I got it customized. The char that got it was ele. And has nothing to do with the equipment I had on me (destroyer staff). But I didn't had a tormented shield displayed in my hom.
