To catch anyone up who doesn't know the story, here's an overview of Emily's heart condition and here's the link to the blog from 2009 detailing her trip to the former ArenaNet offices.

After getting an all-clear from the company, Emily has decided to post a blog explaining what the event she helped to design was and the inspiration behind it. There's also some cool bits about the beach mentioned in the original story as well as the origin of the name for the Black Lion Trading Post.

Stuff like this just gets me, people.

So many feels right now.

I remember doing that quest. It's very cool that there's a real life story behind it.
