Excerpt from Thelemic Influence Hunt (Every Tuesday, Darkhaven Server 21.00 GMT+7)
Dwayna is the Goddess of Life and the leader of the original six gods of humans, her temple is the Cathedral of Zephyr and the quest to reclaim it is related to a lore:
"When the gods Balthazar, Dwayna, Grenth, Kormir[sic], Lyssa and Melandru arrived in Tyria, it was impossible, because of their divine nature, to appear before human eyes without blinding them.
Thus they decided to fetch a sculptor, so that he could shape statues in their image.
When the eyes of the sculptor Malchor, fell upon the face of Dwayna, his heart was instantly filled with a pure and unconditional love. It became impossible for him to turn down any of Dwayna's requests. And thus the creation of the statues was commenced.
One after another, the gods presented themselves in his studio and for each one Malchor carved a statue in their image. Once a statue was finished, the God returned to the city of Arah, where no human could enter.
So it was that Dwayna finally entered the studio of the sculptor. Malchor sublimated his art so that all the grace and beauty of the Goddess radiated from his statue. And as long as he worked on the statue, as long could he enjoy the infinite happiness which the presence of Dwayna gave him.
Alas then came the fateful moment when the statue was completed, and where the goddess would leave for Arah. Unable to bear the despair that grasped him when the figure of the goddess had disappeared from the horizon; he threw himself from a cliff.
The place where Malchor lost his life now bears his name: the Strait of Malchor."
— The Story of Malchor And Dwayna
From: Guild Wars 2 Wiki
A. Escort Historian Vermoth to the Altar of Tempests
Historian Vermoth can be tricky to find, his spawn point is usually on the south-south east of the temple, simply talk to him to start the event, it's an easy fight (for a group)
B. Defeat the Risen Priestess of Dwayna
She's been buffed by the game's patch from time to time, her current incarnation now can throw wind glaives that returns to her, dealing double damage if you're standing still on it's path, pull you several times and deals a heavy melee damage, she also summons a lot of veteran risen knight with it's devastating earth spike attacks, she'll also teleport from time to time, making a really dirty job for melee preferers.
C. Drive Malchor to the Altar of Tempests
After she goes down the Historian will tell you that the statue of Dwayna in the temple is protected by a barrier which only Malchor's can dispel and he can't cleanse the temple without first dispelling it. Your job is now to find Malchor's spirit on the far west of the temple and drive him to the barrier. After you find him talk to him and it'll start an event where you will drive him towards the temple and occasionally fighting him, on the way he'll tell you how he failed abymsally to recreate first Dwayna's statue (you'll see some of his failed recreation on the first area where you find him), it's more of a story to an event
d. Legendary Fight: Defeat the Possessed statue of Dwayna
After Malchor's finally resolved to free the temple from Zhaitan's corruption he'll break the seal which will make the Statue of Dwayna came alive and summon Malchor's chisel, take out the chisels and hammers first since they'll knockback and stun you, other than that they're easy.
The Corrupted Statue of Dwayna itself has gone from lootfest to wipefest, she has two major attack, one is a fire AOE that can take out half of your HP if you're not investing on vit or toughness, usually followed by ghostfire AOE that aim on random party members and deal MEGA damage, she will from time to time use this rotation.
To counter her attacks always heal after hit by the fire AOE, use ranged weapon so you won't get hit by it since it has a somewhat short-medium range, watch out for ghostfire attack, when she shoots a needle to the sky, DODGE! because half a second later ghostfires will rain down upon your party, each of these will create an AOE so if you're not so lucky and landed near two of it you'll be guaranteed to go down, also spread out to minimize this attack's effect, still standing players must work quick to ress their teammates and the one who didn't get a ress must quickly rally.
After several minutes of nightmare she'll goes down and you'll free to loot her chest and listen to Malchor's final rant, Historian vermoth will open up his inventory for you, Rune of Dwayna boost your healing power stat and also apply regen to teammates, a good choice for support players.
