The [[Lost Scrolls]] are forbidden texts containing dark magic that were hidden away by the [[Gods of Tyria|Old Gods]] deep below [[Arah]]. They are known to contain powerful [[magic]], but their exact contents and origins are unknown.

At the end of the [[the Guild Wars|Third Guild War]], the [[Charr invasion]] force headed south to [[Orr]] and, despite the Orrian's preparations, overran the Orrian defenses and reached the [[gw2:Gates of Arah|Gates of Arah]] in less than twelve hours. To push back the Charr, [[Vizier Khilbron]] rallied the people and revealed he had a plan. It was later discovered that he had forbidden books in his quarters, and that he had been converted to the worship of [[Abaddon]], but by this point it was too late to stop him. The Vizier had traveled into a warded vault, deep within the catacombs in [[Arah]], and brought the Lost Scrolls to [[gw2:The Vizier's Tower|his tower]] where he read the scrolls. In a brilliant flash of light, the Charr army was killed where it stood, and the entire peninsula of Orr sank beneath the waves. This event was called [[the Cataclysm]].

As well as the Cataclysm, the scrolls raised many of the fallen of Orr into an [[undead]] army. Many believed that they were lost souls so disturbed by the destruction of their home in the Cataclysm that they refused to pass into the next life, but in fact these creatures were motivated by a powerful [[Undead Lich|lich lord]], the reanimated Vizier Khilbron, who had raised the resting dead to do his bidding. It is not known whether Khilbron was created by the Lost Scrolls or not, however.
