2. Huh now that will be some thing to wonder about will chapter 3 be a litte like chapter 2?? (due to the first question)

3. Will the Kourna and Vabbi be just like luxon and kurz fighting over terretory??

4. Will thier be Ab in chapter 3 if in fact the war between Kourna and Vabbi is still going on??

5. Will we get to choose a side Kourna or Vabbi??

This game isn't factions. Stop treating it like it is. The key word here is that Kourna and Vabbi used to be at war. So did Kryta and Ascalon. Are they at war now? No they're not. Do they have alliance battles? No they don't.

Also, that in game map is really interesting. It shows a bit of what we expected but seemingly inverted, I'm not sure how it can border the crystal desert, unless the desert lies north of the map.

*EDIT* Just looked at bigwig's picture and thats what the last paragraph meant :P

I was not saying they are Still at war. (If in fact the war between Kourna and Vabbi is still going on)

I for one didnt really like factions very much so if Night Fall has nothing I said before (with ab, fighting over terretory ect..) I will be very happy..

But untill I see the box that says what night fall is all about ect.. this is just what im wondering. All A-net told us is that we can custemize the henchman save skill bars ect.... they have not released much of any thing els from what I have read about night fall so far..If i am wrong and have missed any thing about night fall please give me the link.

lol I know what you where probly thinking and yes his map was a awful map. But I wasnt really comparing the how good his map was to others. His map put Elona on the south side of crystal desert not the east side like evry one els did. And when I was comparing his map and the rest of the maps evry one els made in my eyes his was the closest

WTF??!!

They're either at war or they aren't. If the war is still going on, they're at war. If it isn't, they're not at war. There is no in-between!

And though I hate to mince words, I just want to make it perfectly clear: you said they're at war by saying that the war is still going on. There is no other meaning except something that is perhaps entirely contrived by your mind and has no meaning outside your head.

*sigh*

Ok I'll try to clear it up just a little more IF IN FACT THE WAR IS STILL GOING ON key words are (If) and (Still)

I am in no way saying the war is still going on or am I saying that the war is over I swear all you guys live for is to bash what others say and try to twist thier words up to mean some thing els so if you think my mind has no meaning outside my head well then dont comment on what I say/think or my input on things since you dont seem to understand what I'm thinking or you just fail to take in what I say and just reply with the first thing that comes to your head.

any was GO back on topic and stop trying to bash the things that other people say/think unless you get some kind of enjoyment off it.

Are Kourna, Istan and Vabbi provinces of a kind of union or are they completely separate nations?

If I read the scribe right I understand it as differnt nations witch would be more likly since in both Tyia and Cathan both have three differnt nations (Tyia- Ascolan, Kryta, Droks If you want to add the jungle and desert for nations go for it i just dont see them as one)....(Cathan- Cathan, Luxon, Kurzs).

Martian · Aug 30, 2006, 12:21 PM // 12:21

You know what i think? I think Anet are sitting and laughing at us. They probably didn't put any thought into how the Continents interlock and connect, they just designed them to be cmpletely seperate!
And i know what you are going to say, the Elonians traveled to the desert so it must border Elona. Perhaps they had boats?

ischuros · Sep 06, 2006, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Well, there were sturctures made from boats in the Desert, but that was the margnites IIRC, but the elonians might have made the towers from their boats. But I'd say the map from the top of this page is probably the northern conitnent of elona and tyria, now, where does Cantha figure in to it?

But I do get enjoyment out of it. It spawns tangents and breeds argument over trivial things like strange wording and redundant points.

Less observant people would have seen 'still at war' in one sentence, 'war still going on' in the second, and assumed incorrectly. Now that you've explained yourself more clearly there is no question.

anubis_master · Sep 17, 2006, 10:16 PM // 22:16

we arnt progressing very far...

Eldin · Sep 17, 2006, 10:42 PM // 22:42

Here's my speculation on the world map.

Getting there? Boat travel is most likely. However, the Nightfall Cinematic shows the Emperor of Cantha at the docks, and, as Prophecies characters cannot access Cantha, and each chapter is stand-alone, this is what I think.

Tyrians: Meet with Turai Ossa. He takes us on a trip or through a portal to visit "his peoples' homeland".

Canthans: The Emperor of Cantha goes to visit a foreign friend of his in Elona, or on diplomatic matters. You tag along.

Urban_Nomad · Sep 18, 2006, 10:39 PM // 22:39

It was confirmed a long time ago that Elona borders the Crystal Desert, so I'm not sure how much progress we're making lol.

Anyone else notice this though?:

Turai Ossa refers to killing "Palawa Joko," the Scourge of Vabbi.

The latest news we got of Elona referred to the Desolation, formed when "the undead lord, Palawa Joko, first invaded our lands."

Eh? Eh? *nudge*

Solar Light · Sep 21, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

Joko sounds likea Vabbi leader that went rouge or a famous crinimal, perhaps vabbi was never at war, crinimals are often reffered as Scourges.

also, to remark on the map, its looks like tyria is a crossraods, and that area with the ? is more of ascalon perhaps.

This my guildwars World=D

llsektorll · Sep 21, 2006, 05:52 PM // 17:52

this map is wrong

"A thousand years ago, the spiritual ancestors of these heretics, the Margonites, fought an epic battle on the northern plains of Elona. The resulting carnage created a vast wasteland- the relm we now known as the Crystal Desert"

thus the cyrstal desert is the northern part of elona so the area south of the crystal desert is the map of elona ^_^

SilintNinjya · Sep 24, 2006, 02:04 AM // 02:04

i like brokenmonkeys the most so far, but i think that cantha might actually be to the east of elona and tyria (unless they said somewhere that it was infact south). like the very top right courner of elona shows mountains, and i think those eventually fade into the cantan mountains you see in the south west end of it.

flipfly2004 · Sep 25, 2006, 12:40 PM // 12:40

i think it's rather like this:

as u can see... the shore of the south of the crystal desert matches the shore of the northern mainland of elona

and cantha is somewhere south of kryta so puzzled together cantha should be west of Elona:

This is what Jiaju Tai, a merchant from Cantha, explains about the location of Cantha:
"Cantha lies south (of Kryta), across the ocean ... past the ruins of Orr, past the islands of fire, past the crystal lands of burning sun, and beyond the clashing seas. Only the greatest sailors dare such a journey, I assure you."

Guildmaster Cain · Nov 07, 2006, 12:44 PM // 12:44

I guess noone ever considered that the maps MIGHT be on another scale respective to eachother.

Any conclusions made based on this is pure speculation.

Giga Strike · Nov 08, 2006, 01:11 AM // 01:11

ya i considered that...too lazy to make my own map though.
