I've always wondered this...

They are fighting over which side killed Shiro, or something similar to that.

Wow, really? That seems silly... So what side was Nika from?

Alicendre · Jul 16, 2008, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Nika is only Canthan, but she didn't killed Shiro - she only let either Archemorus or Viktor kill him by dropping his sword down.

So they fight to know who was the one who gave him the coup de grace.

Wait, i thought it was Vizu who disarmed Shiro for Archemorus and Viktor to kill him.

Yep, check this:

And nika is a LIVE npc/hench you meet in Factions?

"The Luxons, like their sworn enemies the Kurzicks, have long been "vassals" of Cantha-politically and economically absorbed by the empire long ago, but allowed to maintain distinct cultures and ways of life. All Luxons are united in their distrust of the Kurzicks, their frequent competitors for power and territory, and vice versa. But there was a time when the two vassal cultures were at peace. That peace was shattered when Shiro Tagachi killed the 27th Emperor 200 years earlier. Though the Luxon and Kurzick champions slew Shiro and avenged the Emperor's death, they died along with thousands of others when the Jade Wind washed over the land. The Luxons and Kurzicks have been at odds ever since."

Oops, yeah sorry, did know that...I'm just an idiot.

Ahh, even I didn't know it was because of that reason. But the real point is that both sides become friends at the end lol.

Archemorus challenged Viktor to 1v1 at his GH for sh**s and giggles. Viktor won, but Archemorus was complaining about lag, so they had a rematch which ended in a draw when they both d/c'd, never to be seen again.

I'm pretty sure they're fighting over which one "single-handedly" slew Shiro, but it doesn't really matter so much since we know they get defeated before the time of GW2. Who knows though? Maybe they'll move their little cat-fight to Tyria.

Brimstonez · Jul 16, 2008, 02:31 AM // 02:31

Because you touch yourself at night!

Nah, I'm kidding. They are enemies because Shiro was dating the daughters of both clans, and managed to get them both pregnant. They then started their war after the respective fathers both tried to organise a marriage. Neither of them could win this argument, so they declared war on each other.

In Guild Wars 2, Shiro will return to claim his children, and turn them into super assassins. These will be the only hope for the known world against the dreaded dragons.

This is the reason:

Viktor: wtf. wammo nub.
Archemorus: stfu. WoH + mending = uber tank.
Viktor: gtfo! mending touch + WoH + vigorous spirit = pwns.

Why are the Germans and the French enemies?

Land and resources.

The shiro thing just triggered conflict again. (because lets face it, the jade wind would have been a massive catastrophe).
