Cantha is isolationist and Elona is ruled by Palawa Joko.

"The history of Cantha and Elona, as we know it, ceases around the time of Orr's liberation from the sea. Little contact with these nations has made its way north to the Tyrian continent; the undead of Orr and the upheaval in the Crystal Desert made news scarce and difficult to acquire."

Conveniently taking them out of the running until the first expansion. It all fits way too nicely.

Point taken.

Why would anybody want to play as those disgusting Naga?
Forgotten would be cool if you want serpentine humanoids, but, I mean, have you looked a Naga in the face? Ugly buggers, those guys. A face only a mother could love.

Yeah, new dictator emperor started killing all the non human races.

Just like in Prophecy, the city of Ascalon was in the war against the Charr. So having the Canthan Empoeror destrying these nonhuman like creatures, such as the Naga, why not have the Naga have a similiar story like the Charr? Added with some Tengu too.

"Drive out" is quite a bit different from "kill"... although only if they bite the bullet and actually flee. I don't know whether the Naga would do that, although hopefully they would at some point.

The Angchu Tengu would be pretty loathe to, but they seem somewhat more pragmatic and would probably leave Cantha if the situation became hopeless.

The Sensali would probably fight to the bitter end.

This is why it is likely but unconfirmed of course that Naga will be or stand to be a playable race.

You have the Tengu, Dredge and Naga all in Cantha. All three of these stand a fair chance of being played due to the above article.

We all highly suspect that the Tengu will be a playable race.

We know of five. ANet has stated that these are the only ones announced, but there are some more they will not reveal until closer to the game.
