Mursaat

The Mursaat are a race of powerful spellcasters. They are humanoid in shape, and float above the ground dressed in golden attire.

The Mursaat appear in all forms of spellcasting professions; monks, mesmers, elementalists, and necromancers. They are also sometimes accompanied by Jade Bows (rangers) and Jade Armors (warriors). All Mursaat (including the Jade Armors and Bows) possess a power called Spectral Agony that causes great damage over a short span of time. Infusion is the only protection against Spectral Agony. The Mursaat are fleshy creatures, which means that they leave exploitable corpses and are vulnerable to bleeding, disease and poison, while Jades and Ether Seals are fleshless.

Since Saul D'Alessio first encountered them in the Maguuma Jungle, they have been worshipped by the White Mantle as the Unseen Ones, and in return, protected the people of Kryta from the Charr invasion.

The Mursaat are aware of the Flameseeker Prophecies that foretell their doom and do everything in their power to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled. This includes sacrificing the Chosen on the Bloodstones at Maguuma and the Ring of Fire Islands, as well as heavily guarding the Door of Komalie.

The mysterious race of the Seers is an enemy of the Mursaat for reasons that are also unknown at this time.

Mursaat can be found in the Southern Shiverpeaks and the Ring of Fire Islands, and in lore it is said that the Unseen Ones have a city deep inside the Maguuma Jungle. The ferryman Old Joness speaks of a shadow hanging over the Ullen River that hides what lies beyond its shores. He says it is cast by something "unseen".
