The Great Wall is there and un-breached and the Desert is a desert rather then the swamp land it once was. So no, the map can't be from around when the Dragons were last awake.

So maybe we fight sea monsters from ships...imaginethat...i dont think thats been done before

Ship decks are small, thats why you don't see it done often(if at all).

Ship fights with monsters is done (God of War is such a game) - but it's not often due to what DarkFlame said.

And as pointed out before, knowledge of the Ancient Dragons does not exist at all in terms of lore until they awaken - not even by Abaddon, which is a common belief that he knew of them - that being said, the map cannot be from the times of the Ancient Dragons as 1) it would mean that knowledge of them is around and 2) the map shows post-searing environment (Crystal Desert instead of Crystal Sea *not swamp* and the Great Wall are just two things - Orr being sunken is a third).

Yes, but maybe just a wee mission, would be fun. obviously not some big part of the game like luxons and kurzicks. But a big dragon coming out of the water and attacking you and your team while on a ship...thats so cool! armour +10 while steering the wheel

Maybe that's Kuunavang

The idea of the other dragons probably came after factions was completed. And there are tons of stuff frozen in the jade sea as well as that thing.

Il Fez Il · Mar 25, 2009, 04:22 AM // 04:22

Thats most likely a leviathan like in the Deep mission. I saw it before, but I don't remember where.

travis ranger · Mar 25, 2009, 04:34 AM // 04:34

outside of the outpost for 15k luxon if i'm not mistaken

Konig Des Todes · Mar 25, 2009, 05:19 AM // 05:19

Leviathan. As GW2 wasn't even an idea until the development of Utopia; Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall will be devoid of any GW2 hints.

Several different Leviathans *most found in Rhea's Crater* have been thought to be the Deep Sear Dragon. But this is incorrect. The Deep Sea Dragon is located in between Tyria/Elona and Cantha/the Battle Isles. At least, that would be the best guess for "In the deepest waters of the sea" - not in the Deep or in the Jade Sea.

Afterall, GW2 is mainly focused on Tyria, not Cantha or Elona it seems *only the Northwestern part of Elona such as the Crystal Desert may get a view in GW2's initial release - Cantha will probably be in the expansion if there is one*.

Edit: Although this thread is incorrect, it belongs in the lore forum *and can in fact be merged into the Ancient Dragon thread there - in fact, if you looked in that thread, you'd find at least 3 leviathan pics in there suspected to be the "Deep Sea Dragon"*

Il Fez Il · Mar 25, 2009, 05:20 AM // 05:20

Na I know that I was saying I can't remember where I saw that said it was a leviathan.

leetLoLa · Mar 25, 2009, 09:35 AM // 09:35

hahaha leviathan

Eragon Zarroc · Mar 25, 2009, 01:45 PM // 13:45

definitely a claw of something ;-)

Now I understand, that you may know more than most about GW and I'm pretty sure you know far more than me, but how do you know what area GW 2 is going to focus on? Seeing how we know nothing at all about GW2 and the information on the game is mostly rumor and concept, not fact.

Karuro · Apr 04, 2009, 08:34 PM // 20:34

It's because almost the entire Movement of the World article is about continent Tyria.

Cantha and Elona are cut off and not reachable at present day GW2.

Lishy · Apr 05, 2009, 06:40 AM // 06:40

Probably a dragon, but just a random dragon that's only importance is to serve as decoration. Similar to the Bone Dragon in The Catacombs of pre.

Well, it was mentioned that players will be able to discover Orr (Orr will appear out of the Sea).
Charrs, Norn and Asura only live in Tyria.

The Stories from Cantha and Elona (as we know today) will end.
Cantha isolates itself, Palawa Joko conquers Elona and throws dark Shadows over former sunny Tyria's South.

The Order of Whispers will help in Tyria to fight against the Dragons and a new, not clear defined Town will be grow up.

draxynnic · Apr 06, 2009, 01:05 AM // 01:05

What's happened in Elona has been built up quite a bit for a story that has 'ended'. I suspect it might be in the first expansion pack, and, in fact, might actually be possible to reach in the original release. It's mentioned as being cut off, but heroes are heroes - an overland route may be possible. (In fact, it's mentioned that the Order of Whispers is able to maintain communications between Kryta and Elona, which suggests that they know of a means to get there.)

Cantha, on the other hand, is completely cut off, and when we do get there we may find something quite different to what we expect.

It's not a dragon, as has already been stated. It is simply a Jade Sea Leviathan, which is proven by those that break free from the jade in the Deep.

Divinus Stella · Apr 07, 2009, 09:47 PM // 21:47

There are plenty of huge dragon carcasses in the crystal desert, like the one in the hidden area in dunes of despair and the one near augury rock thats surrounded by griffons, i dont think they match the scale of the one under drakkar lake but dragons are certainly something already in GW lore from the start.

Gmr Leon · Apr 08, 2009, 12:41 AM // 00:41

Actually, the general consensus surrounding those skeletons is that they are of Giganticus Lupicus.
