So in the middle of the quest when you’re exploring the ruined grove near the end, they suddenly going from calling the masked fae ‘the masked fae’ and refer to them as the Drust.
When did that change? What did I miss? How do they know the invaders are drust?
I think it’s that we don’t know the masks are from the Drust. We start calling them all Drust once we know what they are, which I think happens during the… second hub?
Well for a while the denizens Ardenweld did not know the Orgins of the Masked Fey it was only later in the Ardenweld storyline when it was realized the masks were created by the Durst and they Masked Fey were revealed for what they were, puppet soldiers for the Drust.
The Elite Witch Matron is a Drust which the Night Fae points out recognizing the species!
During the Ardenweald Questline the Drust all look like Witch Matrons and Vikings while the transformed Masked Fae are treated as separate!
The funny thing is the Drust were brought to Ardenweald due to one of the Night Fae messing around with a Drust stone causing the Sylvari to have a mask slapped on him turning him into a Masked Fae spreading the infection to others which ultimately not only created the Blighted but also brought the Drust themselves into Ardenweald!
