#Guildwars2 just casually dropped a teaser image for the location of Expansion 5, coming later this year. Definitely feels like Old ascalon, which makes me believe Blood Legion homelands in the NE. Also aligns with the available compass directions on the in game map.

#GuildWars2 lore S3D50 Most of us are intimately familiar with the Jade Maw, a vile creature from Cantha infesting the Jade sea, seen both in Dragon's End and within the Solid Ocean Fractal. One interesting tidbit about it is that it can grow bioluminescent algae and throw raves!

#Guildwars2 lore day 236 Welcome to Nightfall! The 3rd campaign of #GW takes place in Elona, a desert region South East of Tyria. This land is filled with ancient kings and queens (some of whom are still haunting the area), but many other secrets as well buried under the sands.

SPOILERS They may not have given us a minimap, but they sure did reveal a lot of Echovald wilds. Here's a snipit of the gw1 map with approximately where they walked (and that portal was to Arborstone) Question is - Why is arborstone its own instance? #Gw2 #Gw2Eod #Guildwars2

#Guildwars2 lore S3Day171 There are several other religions in Tyria beyond just the human gods. One notorious example is the Titans. The Charr worshiped them as gods but later discovered that they were not and turned on them. I'm excited to cover other actual god-likes this week

#GuildWars2 lore S3D35 Okay, I've been going full conspiracy into the texture of the portal in the trailer and how it looks like Astralaria's portal annnnddd.... I don't think it's related. Thought I could start to pinpoint the new maps as Above Istan or so, but I'm not certain.

#Guildwars2 lore S3Day183 The Grawl are very religious, and mostly worship nature, but each tribe has their own faith. My favorite of their 'Deities' is 'Badazar'. They found an old statue of balthazar that had been abandoned in Ascalon and now worship 'Badazar' in that location.

Most Veterans can already tell what skins you're wearing. Let new players admire your hard earned gear and have something to aim for.

#GuildWars2 lore S3 D158 One interesting point of End of Dragons was when we found out the Soo-Won was friendly. This led to the question: "what forced Krait and quaggan from the depths?" We assumed it was her, but turns out she was guarding from something else still unkown...

#GuildWars2 lore day 149 Let's contrast Norn with Humans. Humans were brought to Tyria from another world by the 6 gods. Their first landing spot was Orr because of the high amount of magic there (unknowingly because Zhaitan was sleeping there). They spread across Tyria...

#Guildwars2 lore S3Day225 An interesting note about WvW servers is that in lore, they are the literal multiverse worlds. The Borderlands are where one meets another in the mists, and we're fighting for resources. With world restructuring, all worlds get renamed and players moved.

I've really been wanting to make it on youtube, but my time over the last month has mostly gone to something I hoped I'd never have to face. My wife was pregnant and this week she miscarried, which is even harder than losing my brother 7 years ago. One day I'll be back to normal.
