Stargates are everywhere. I once met Col. Caldwell AND an Alteran in the Wilds. They didn't trust me much, my name is Vala after all.

Good pics. I liked the Assassin armor. I thought he was a Ranger until I saw the little knives on his legs.

Ah! I was wondering how we were going to continue with the Ascalon story while being "deep into charr-held lands". [battlecry] Wolverines!!! [/battlecry]

I'd guess that the guy standing beside the Norn is just an NPC or maybe a hero, just put there to show how god damn big the Norn are.

Interesting, anyone else notice the release dates noted next to the article?

Buster · May 21, 2007, 07:00 PM // 19:00

About time we get some more news. The Asura,Norn and Charr look awesome.

Omega X · May 21, 2007, 07:07 PM // 19:07

HA!

I always felt that the Murssat were a big front. Now its proven, I wonder who was controlling them? The Asura? The Sylvari? The Great Destroyer?

The Great Al · May 21, 2007, 07:07 PM // 19:07

IlikeGW · May 21, 2007, 07:21 PM // 19:21

I wish we could play as norn before GW2.

Crimso · May 21, 2007, 07:29 PM // 19:29

I wish there was more about the lionguard(rather then shining blade) since they were the ones under control before the white mantle.

The pictures look pretty great(I wonder if the prophecies charr will get a reskin as the eotn one(the one with wand and shield looks alot different then the current ones(firecallers).

viper11025 · May 21, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

Sins get some recognition!
YaY!
My efforts are not in vein!

damkel · May 21, 2007, 07:41 PM // 19:41

After seeing that charr picture, i cant imagine anyone rolling a human in GW2. *drool*

Hope those release dates are sorta accurate. 1st September my bday!!

Symeon · May 21, 2007, 07:44 PM // 19:44

Awesome. This is the kind of info many of us lore fans have been waiting for. Some commentary:

Is it just me or is that close-up picture of a Charr quite different from what we've seen before? The white fur is very noticeable, as is his (or her?) catlike face, he reminds me of both a lion/tiger and a fox at the same time

Maybe it's just that I've never looked at one that closely before...

While the Asuras are cute, they don't particularly impress me, and I think ANet will have a lot of work to do to give them as much potential for character individuality and customisation (being a playable race) as humans/other races in GW2.

The concept art showing a boat being paddled along in some underground river intrigues me. The creature with the stick standing at the water's edge - is that some kind of undead pirate? Very spooky.

The Norn with the helmet and chains reminds me of the Stone Summit

Probably have nothing to do with each other though. The information given definitely suggests they have resemblances to Norse culture, maybe some Celtic too?

I must say I love the ideas of a civil war in Kryta and the Charr's religious conflict.

Can't wait to see this stuff in game!

Mpidemie · May 21, 2007, 07:49 PM // 19:49

the assa armor looks nice

clarianaeneas · May 21, 2007, 07:50 PM // 19:50

LAWL@ the Asura's and the Stargate. Anyone notice that the Asura in the middle (who looks like the minipet we have now) is unique? Maybe he's a hero or a special NPC.
