Default Just got Ghosts of Ascalon in the mail!

A few hours ago I got my Ghosts of Ascalon book...Just want to point out some of the features inside it.

First there are two pages dedicated to showing the Guild Wars 2 map. This is the exact same map on the Guild Wars 2 website. There is also an extensive timeline starting from 10,000 BE and going all the way to 1324 AE...which is the year in which the book begins.

The book is 370 pages and has 27 chapters.

Going to start reading it soon, and just wanted to inform everyone the details about it!!!

Congrats, Ill be getting mine^^
Interesting to note that the map they have on the GW2 site is only of Tyria.....and does not include Cantha or Elona.
You think there going to repeat history and realease Cantha, and Elona in a seperate package/expansion?.........Like Factions and Nightfall

Probably, on the GW2 wiki it says they wont be included in GW2. I would think all of Tyria plus Elona plus Cantha would just be too much for them to work on all at once. As well as the fact that in the lore for GW2 says communication to Cantha has been cut off for a hundred years.
