Whether the guy was right or not, I've been looking into some things and here are my assumptions....read that again....assumptions lol. These are based off facts either from Gaile, game literature, and in game information.
Cantha is located to the southwest of Tyria. Elona is located to the southeast. In the Nightfall Players handbook it says Cantha opens trade with the northern areas as well as Elona and Kryta. Northern areas, to me would mean Northwest and Northeast. According to lore, the Unseen Ones (Mursaat) protected Kryta from the Charr and have a hidden city deep in Maguuma. The Ferryman Old Jones (you talk to him in a quest for passage to dark river) talks about a shadow hanging over the Ullen River and it hides whats beyond its shores. Says its cast by something "unseen"
"With the help of the White Mantle, and the Divine Eye of Janthir, an artifact from a Mursaat settlement known as the Isle of Janthir, the Mursaat sacrificed humans known as "the Chosen" on the powerful and ancient Bloodstones. This was in order to charge the Soul Batteries keeping the Door of Komalie, and the Titans behind it"
Being that this is Northwest, I could see the Isle of Janthir as a new island for beginning a chapter. The Charr hit Ascalon (Northeast) and as evident from the flame temple full of Charr, they like Aztec architecture. If the guy was guessing, I could see where he got his answers since these are northern areas.
In a story about Saul D'Alessio, it speaks of how he came across the Mursaat and their architecture reaching to the sky in its magnificent glory. I can just imagine the nice scenery that that setting will give to players since the artwork so far as been exemplary from the designers. IMO we can expect more from the Mursaat and maybe more on the Seer's race as well as more from the Charr.
again, this is my conclusion only. Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!
Gaile, excellent game!
