What's the story #guildwars ? - Chinwe, collector and airship inventor

Today we look at Chinwe On top of a high plateau in the Shattered Ravines stands a collector asking for Dusty Insect Carapaces. He needs these to create bellows for his balloon that will take him to the gates of Lion's Arch. All in all a good quest for someone stuck in the Desolation, but he does raise a few questions; First of all, why would a ghost need a balloon to take him so far away? Is it even possible for him to leave this place of his mortal remains? How would the citizens of Lions Arch respond when suddenly one day a ghost piloting a blimp (obscure Portal 2 reference is obscure) floats over their gates? I am sure there are a lot more questions to the current state of Chinwes plans, but there is an even bigger question for me, will he succeed? Guild Wars 2 is 250 years into the future, a length of time that for a ghost will seem like an instant. Will he succeed? Will we see a lone balloon floating high above? And most importantly, will he crash with Rata Sum? Again, Arena Net, I ask that you give this piece of lore the fleshing out it deserves. In fact, I believe Chinwe would be happy for any flesh at all as he is right now.
