Norns are half-giants that look like beefy Irish people. The pictures from PC Gamer have them with Celtic tattooes as well. They can turn into bears, too.

Sylvari look like a kind of elf. Just imagine a female ranger, as they are now, and you're mostly there.

Very exciting. I hadn't seen that picture before now, I was picturing something closer to a dwarf.

last time I checked nordic people are still considerd HUMANS, and there is already a human race in guild wars.

as for how the name looks, that really doesnt matter if you look up lots of the stuff from this game they all have bases in mythology

Sylvari = Elves

Realm of Fiery Doom · Apr 07, 2007, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Sylvari = Elves / Fairies / Pixies. I think.

Which means the Norns are either another human race (like in the Elder Scrolls series: there are several human and elf 'races' there, for example Nords, Imperials and Redguards are all biologically human) or an enough human-shaped folk to resemble a human culture.

Can we have the game now please! (sooooo loving the Sylvari )

Mister Overhill · Apr 08, 2007, 12:43 AM // 00:43

The Sylvari looks like a dryad to me.

Same here. They have more of a "Plant-like" thing going on than anything Elvish. No Elves, yay!

lyra_song · Apr 08, 2007, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Sylvari are beings of light.

A race of "nature spirits".

Aggravaar · Apr 08, 2007, 01:20 AM // 01:20

Yup, sounds a lot like elves to me.

Aside: bloody effeminate treehuggers, the lot of'em...

I found this on the official site. Perhaps a concept art for the Norns.

Yup, that's a female norn + a norn in bear form.

ChyldeOfTheLotus · Apr 08, 2007, 01:50 AM // 01:50

The Sylvari look freakin adorable.

Bryant Again · Apr 08, 2007, 01:54 AM // 01:54

I wonder how a Sylvari warrior looks...
