To the entire Guru community:

It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this site, Guild Wars Guru, will be shutting down on July 1st and will remain in Archive Mode. Over the past 11 years, we've become, and continued to remain, the #1 fansite for Guild Wars, and it's all because to you guys. Without such a strong and passionate community, Guru would have never made it this far and so we thank you for that.

And while we will be saying good-bye to our home here, we will continue to host forums for the GW community over at our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Guru. In fact, you are more than welcome to head on over now and begin posting. If you have any threads you'd like to transfer over, now would be the time.

So once again thank you, and especially those that contributed their time and knowledge to make Guru the amazing place it was. We'll see you over at Guild Wars 2 Guru!

Raven Wing Jungle Guide Join Date: Nov 2005 Guild: The Imperial Guards of Istan [TIGI] Profession: N/	Why are there Mantle emblems on the weapon racks in Ascalon? If you take a closer look at the place in Ascalon labeled Training Yard you can see White Mantle emblems on the weapon racks. But according to the story in some of the the first quests you get post searing King Adelbern will not allow any Krytans access to Ascalon. How can this be?

But hey it might be some sort of allusion to a deep cover Krytan agent planning something devious in Ascalon.

Uriel_Wolfblood Krytan Explorer Join Date: Oct 2009 Guild: The House of Wolfblood Profession: R/	Well if you want to think about it logically. Just because the King didn't want Krytans in Ascalon it doesn't mean they didn't trade with them. I mean, Ascalon isn't exactly a fruitful Utopia for lumber products if you know what I mean. So it seems only natural and logical that Ascalon would trade for wood or wood products from their human neighbors. And naturally some Krytan artisan in the region selling his goods emblazoned the beloved white mantel's symbol on his/her fine work. Makes sense to me. But in all reality it is probably just a "whoops" on Anet's end. Continuity hasn't always been one of thier strong points.
