''[[Guild Wars Beyond]]'' is a series of [[storyline]]s and events in ''[[Guild Wars]]'' that helps set the stage for ''[[Guild Wars 2]]'', which takes place 250 years in the future. ''Guild Wars Beyond'' begins with [[War in Kryta]], then [[Hearts of the North]], and continues with [[Winds of Change]].

==Current elements==
{{spoiler|''[[Guild Wars Prophecies|Prophecies]]'', ''[[Guild Wars Factions|Factions]]'', and ''Beyond''}}
===War in Kryta===
{{main|War in Kryta}}
With their [[Mursaat|false gods]] revealed and their [[Confessor Dorian|leader]] dead, the [[White Mantle]] struggles to keep control over an increasingly dissenting [[Kryta]], resorting to hiring [[Peacekeeper|mercenaries]] and imposing strict and unreasonable laws. Among the unrest, the [[Shining Blade]] gains support for its cause to place [[Salma]] on the throne and reaches out to the [[Ebon Vanguard]] for support in its fight.

===Hearts of the North===
{{main|Hearts of the North}}
In the aftermath of the war in Kryta, [[Keiran Thackeray]] is missing in action. [[Gwen]] orders an immediate search for him, and various clues trigger the [[Scrying Pool]] to reveal the events leading to his disappearance and ultimately reunite him with Gwen.

===Winds of Change===
{{main|Winds of Change}}
After [[Shiro Tagachi]]'s death, the [[Ministry of Purity]] works to remove the threat the remaining [[Afflicted]] pose to the citizens of [[Cantha]]. Many hopefuls rally to their cause attempting to enact change through action, where they believe the [[Emperor Kisu|emperor]] and his [[Imperial Guard]] have failed. Others are fearful of the consequences of the Ministry's actions and the ever-increasing scope of [[Minister Reiko]]'s vision for perfection.

==Cancelled ideas==
Before [[ArenaNet]] announced that they will no longer release any new content,<ref>[[GuildWars.com_news#May_16th.2C_2013|Guild Wars Development and Automation]], GuildWars.com</ref> they discussed the following ideas related to ''Guild Wars Beyond'':
* After Winds of Change, there were going to be "things people are going to be surprised by" that the Live Team would not discuss.<ref name="FB">[[Feedback talk:Game updates/20101214|On the order of future updates]], John Stumme</ref>
* There were going to be [[Lunatic Court]] quests, unrelated to Keiran's return or Winds of Change. Their attempts to free [[Mad King Thorn]], as well as other activities during [[Halloween 2010]] have attracted the attention of "someone else" looking to return to Tyria. The [[Nameless Lich]] was thought to have played some part in this.<ref>[http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/11/11/costume-design-and-hints-of-whats-to-come-massivelys-intervie/ Costume design and hints of what's to come: Massively's interview with the Guild Wars team], Massively</ref>
* As part of the [[Elona]] chapter of ''Beyond'', ANet planned to expand on the story of [[Palawa Joko]]'s rise to power and the remnants of the [[Margonites]] after the events of ''[[Guild Wars Nightfall|Nightfall]]''.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20130201033656/http://www.arena.net/blog/passing-the-torch-designer-john-stumme-joins-live-team Passing the Torch: Designer John Stumme joins the Live Team], ArenaNet Blog</ref><ref>[http://www.relicsoforr.com/?p=459 Relics of Orr Minisode 10.5, Lead Designer of “Guild Wars Awesome”], Relics of Orr</ref><ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars/comments/83beji/ama_ask_scw_about_guild_wars/dvhjypn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app AMA - Ask SCW about guild wars], reddit.com</ref>
* Another story idea included the disappearance of [[Evennia]], last seen in [[Old Ascalon]] during the [[Krytan civil war]].<ref name="Kill Ten Rats">[http://www.killtenrats.com/2010/09/20/guild-wars-live-team-interview/ Guild Wars Live Team Interview], Kill Ten Rats</ref>
