Curse

Tender Wolf · Nov 27, 2008, 04:00 AM // 04:00

With Guild Wars 2 on the way, and an article in my newspaper that sparked attention from several people, I thought it would be a good idea for anyone who was interested to post the family trees/heritage/history of their characters in this thread. As we all know, Guild Wars 2 is focusing on the descendants of our current characters, so I made a family tree of my own and it seems several others have done the same. So if you have a family tree for your character that you'd like to share, go ahead! It can go as far back as you want and go clear past Guild Wars 2 if you'd like.

Mine is below. Pictures are also included, but I can't post farther than Tender Wolf since she is pregnant and not due until February, but then more can be revealed. The pictures show what the people look like as young and old. Tender Wolf and Isaac didn't technically get married, so she'll be keeping her maiden name. Roston grew up in an orphanage and joined Ascalon's Chosen when he got out, which is why there is no prior history for him, since it is unknown. Perhaps someone in the future will dig up the entire family history...

Here is the key/text version:
Blue box - Human male
Pink box - Human female
Arrows represent marriages
Straight lines represent children
Dates on arrows represent marriage years
Dates on straight lines or above boxes represent birth years

Gerald Nightingale

Gerald was born before the Guild Wars were raging. He lived a peaceful life, but when the wars began ten years later, he spent his life in a constant state of battles and moving to escape capture and death. It wasn’t until he was 20 years old that Gerald realized that there was more to life than fighting. He came into this realization when he met Sharla Dreamwalk, an elementalist who had become orphaned by the Guild Wars. Gerald defied his parents and fled to Wizard’s Folly from the Shiverpeaks, where he had previously resided, with Sharla and the two eloped and began a family.

Sharla Dreamwalk Nightingale

Sharla became an orphan at the age of nine due to the Guild Wars taking her home and family from her. She stayed at the orphanage until she was 18, but upon being released, was uncertain as to what her future could possibly consist of. She despised the Guild Wars for taking her family from her, and spent the next year working as a seamstress for minimal amounts of gold. One day, a customer came to ask that she sew up his cloth robes, for they had been torn from battling a river skale. The man introduced himself as Gerald Nightingale, and this meeting was to bring changes to both citizens’ lives.

After spending three years as great friends, the relationship between Gerald and Sharla became romantic. Gerald had been raised to be strong and fight, but also to heal those who truly mattered and keep them alive for as long as possible. Due to his constant moving and avoiding danger, he knew only about the Guild Wars and the need to fight. Sharla opened his eyes to the realization that there is more to life than risking it. The two fell in love and eloped in Wizard’s Folly. Three years later, they became the parents of a daughter they called Connivia.

Roston Wolfsong

Raised in an orphanage until he ran away at age 14, Roston was a dear friend to Adelbern before he became the king of Ascalon. He was a warrior in the guild Ascalon’s Chosen and served by Adelbern’s side. But through his adventures, he was still looking for love. But Roston was convinced that he wasn’t good enough for anyone. One day, he was sent to recruit more members for Ascalon’s Chosen. Connivia did not believe in joining guilds due to the stories she was told by her parents. But when Roston and Connivia met, it was love at first site.

Connivia Nightingale Wolfsong

Connivia was a mesmer who lived in Wizard’s Folly with her overprotective parents. Though they were not what was considered elderly for their age, they had been through so much in their lives that they seemed 20 years older than their years. Connivia took care of them as if she were the parent and they were the children. She would only stoop to fighting when she was desperate. Connivia was constantly daydreaming about what it would be like to live a different kind of life. When she met Roston, she was a very shy young woman but it was love at first sight.

Roston and Connivia dated for one year before they got married in October. Connivia prayed that her parents would be able to see her wedding and children before they were taken to the Underworld, but they died due to illness before the wedding. The couple resided in Connivia’s home in Wizard’s Folly and prayed to the gods to bless them with children to complete their family. But it wasn’t until ten years later that their wish was fulfilled. They were blessed with a single child – a daughter they named Keiondra.
However, because of their older age when they had their child, Roston and Connivia are slightly older than most parents in the Guild Wars world. They keep their daughter very close and are very protective of her. But they truly do cherish her.

Keiondra Wolfsong (Tender Wolf)

Keiondra knew when she was eight years old that she wanted to be a ranger when she picked up her first bow and fired an arrow that landed right in the middle of a tree trunk. To her, it’s the perfect combination of the melee fighting of her warrior father and the distant attacking of her mesmer mother.
When Keiondra turned 15, the Searing hit Ascalon. She and her parents survived, but Keiondra strongly wanted to follow Prince Rurik to Kryta where there were no Charr, a place where it would be safer for her and her parents. Her parents, though reluctant at first, agreed to let her go and journeyed with her. Upon arrival, they resided in the Ascalon Settlement.
After arriving in Kryta, danger had not yet passed and Keiondra wanted to help stop it. She then become known as Tender Wolf. She believed that should an enemy target her, her family would still remain safe if her true identity remained a secret. Keiondra chose this name because of, not only her last name, but her fierce loyalty to wolves. She believes that wolves were tender and gentle, lovable creatures, unlike some who believe that wolves are vicious, blood-thirsty monsters. And so, the legend of Tender Wolf was born.
She traveled with Rurik and stopped evil on three continents, and her current title is People Know Me, which she wears with honor. But about a few months ago, she suddenly vanished into thin air. No one was sure what had happened to her. When she returned at last, it was a week before her 21st birthday.
Keiondra returned with a young man known as Isaac Silverbane. They both claimed that Keiondra had been sent forward in time to the year 2008 AE in Tyria by an evil Asura who had invented a time-travel device. But both Keiondra and Isaac were highly intelligent, and were able to reverse the machine (which they’d found in a museum in Isaac’s time) and return. Isaac then studied to become an assassin. It was obvious that the journey had landed Keiondra more than just a new friend, but a true love as well.
Isaac studied to become an assassin, but he was killed in combat training.

Isaac Silverbane

Isaac studied to become an assassin upon returning to Keiondra’s time with her, but he was killed in combat training. Keiondra blames herself for not being there for him, even though Isaac insisted that she spend as much time with her parents as possible since she’d missed them so much. Isaac had managed to see Tender Wolf turn 21, but a few days later he was killed.

JEREMIAH WOLFSONG COMING SOON

Keiondra and Isaac had been discussing getting married, but they’d agreed that they shouldn’t until after Isaac finished his training. However, because Isaac was killed before the wedding could take place, Keiondra still has her maiden name. But she and Isaac didn’t return to the future alone. Keiondra realized that she was expecting their child. Her parents, though hesitant and shocked at first that their daughter would have a child out of wedlock, grew to accept the idea and looked forward to becoming grandparents. Tender Wolf gave birth to a son, Jeremiah, on February 1, 1079 AD.

P.S. Special thanks to Queen Kitiara, who was the inspiration for Tender Wolf's heritage picture (a similar design is on the Soul Slayer forums on Invision Power Board for her family).

I am aware this is NOT exactly what you were looking for. But this is my family tree for GW2, only the top tier currently exist. Also this it from like when GW2 was announced. Names have changed slightly, more characters have been added.

Tender Wolf · Nov 27, 2008, 04:53 AM // 04:53

Cool! hehe Oh no I'm not looking for any particular type of family tree or anything, I just made a thread for people to post theirs if they wanted to.

And sure some names and things have changed, mine may even change before the actual game comes out because the years I use in the future are based on the timeline that is approximate on Wiki. hehe

Konig Des Todes · Nov 27, 2008, 05:25 AM // 05:25

My Family Tree and Character background (Biography and Genealogy)

-full image in attachments-

NOTE 1: The Family Tree is still incomplete. It is slowly being made, I have made up a basic route of the family, but need to make up names still. And doing three full families makes it hard

NOTE 2: The family tree was made in 1231 AE, the below profiles were documented in 1079 AE, so things are in the family tree that would not be known in the profiles yet.

Konig “Des Todes” Doric:
Age (1079 AE): 1137
Gender: Male
Race: Undead Human (Lich)
Biography:
Was born back in a time when Dhuum was still the God of Death, Konig was turned into a lich when he asked for power to kill those who were trying to kill him (who they were is now unknown, only Konig knows, as he killed many different groups of people). He was forced in his contract to Dhuum to act as a “living” Envoy for years, until Dhuum feel. But even then, Grenth, as punishment for following Dhuum, forced Konig to continue his past duties, but in a more just matter.

When Abaddon rebelled, Konig made a deal with Grenth. Konig would help defeat Abaddon in exchange for his freedom. The deal was made and upon the victory of the True Gods, Konig’s duties were over. Konig enjoyed his freedom for many years, but soon (to him) became bored with nothing to do. He was witnessed Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich, and saw Thorn turn mad in life – which was partially caused by Joko’s turn into becoming a Lich. Konig now celebrates Thorn’s return with much eagerness, as he enjoys the slaughter that Thorn brings about – as he says, Halloween is a time for him to increase his “Deadite Army.”

Two hundred years ago, Konig sided with Palawa Joko in his war against Elona, but when Joko lost, Konig lost interest and left for Tyria where he met Mage Lord Odran. Lord Odran tricked and trapped Konig, using his energy to power some of the first portals. After the creation of the portals, Odran quickly locked Konig in the catacombs underneath Ascalon, where he was stuck there until 1070 AE. In 1070 AE, Azazel freed him when the Necromancer Order of Ascalon complained about a foul presence in the Catacombs that was, until recently, dormant. Upon freedom, Konig was sent north of the wall with Azazel to put a dent in the Charr’s invading force; here they met Agares Hastur – a very recent prisoner of the Charr. While north of the wall, the Searing occurred, the group only returned to “find bodies for rebuilding his army that was destroyed with Joko” as Konig stated.

Genealogy:
Many people know of Konig’s family and its history, but few know of Konig being a part of that family. Konig changed his last name to “Des Todes” when he was turned into a lich. Konig would have been considered the great-granduncle of King Doric himself.

“Azazel ‘The Accursed’”:
Age (1079 AE): Unknown (Suspected to be late-twenties)
Gender: Male
Race: Human (possible demonic ancestry)
Biography:
Having amnesia, he does not know his past. The earliest memory he has is waking up in a prison in an unknown, twisted, land. He knows nothing about his family, but was called an “impure” and “Azazel” by his captors and is believed to be mostly human, but with a demonic ancestor – how close this ancestor is, is unknown.

He only escaped with the help of snake-like creatures called Forgotten. He escaped through a portal and was taken to north Ascalon. Running from Charr forces, he was forced south and was taken through the wall with the help of Rurik. He at first studied as a Warrior, but didn’t like that, so he trained under Necromancy, but that didn’t fit him, so he made “his own” profession – which is combines the principles of the Warrior, Necromancer, and Ranger – later found to be extremely close to the Assassin in Cantha, which he later trained under for ease.

In Ascalon, he was ordered to check out an unusually active magic source in the Catacombs, which turned out to be an imprisoned lich named Konig. After realizing Konig was not evil, the two teamed up and was sent north of the wall on a guerrilla mission, where they found the recently imprisoned Agares Hasture II. While north of the wall, the Searing occurred, the group only returned to “find bodies for rebuilding his army that was destroyed with Joko” as Konig stated.

When Nightfall came, “Azazel” found out that the prison that he was kept in was located in the Depths of Madness, within the City of Ar’Challah. He decided to look around to see if he could find something about his past within the Domain of Secrets.

In the Domain of Secrets he found the Apochryphal Fields, which holds the name of all of Abaddon’s followers, Azazel found his own name listed. Confused on this, he then went to the City of Ar’Challah where he found a prisoner named Nergal who knew of Azazel’s past, but Nergal was killed by the Margonites before he could say anything, leaving Azazel at a dead end.

Genealogy:
Due to not being of this world and not having any memories, his family is unknown. However, due to his abilities, it is highly believed that he has a demonic ancestor, thought to be his grand or great grandparent.

Agares Hastur II:
Age (1079 AE): 26
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Biography:
Agares Hastur II comes from a family of Rangers that can be linked all the way back to the Exodus. The Hastur family has always been, and will probably always will, be the best archers in Tyria.

While on a mission to scout the Charr movements in 1070, he and his team was captured and all except him were sacrificed to the Charr gods, the Titans. He was rescued the day before his execution by Konig and Azazel.

His father was killed by Vatlaaw Doomtooth just before the Searing, and the Searing caused his mother to go insane. His sister, Alila, stayed in Ascalon as part of the Ascalon Army as a Monk. Alila was killed by the Charr when the Titans were released.

In late 1074 AE, Agares met Abby Mueller, a Tyrian Kurzick – her family left for Cantha to escape the Guild Wars and settled with the Kurzicks. In early 1075 AE, they had a son which by Agares’ tradition was named Agares Hastur III.

Genealogy:
Agares Hastur II comes from a family of Rangers. His family has existed in Ascalon since it was settled, before that his family lived in Orr. His family has a tradition of naming the first born son “Agares” and to keep the last name of “Hastur.” All children in the family usually learn the ways of the Ranger, sometimes this can change though. Such as with Agares Hastur II’s sister, Alila Hastur, who became a Monk in Ascalon’s Army. Even back in Orr, the family name was “Hastur” and all the first bone males were named Agares.

This tradition is only broken when there are no male children, which does happen every now and then, such as with Agares’ grandmother, a child of one. But even with this break in the tradition, the Hastur family keeps its last name and tradition of being Rangers.

Xaphan Sariel:
Age (1072 AE): 15
Gender: Male
Race: Human/Immortal
Biography:
Raised in the Echovald Forest and trained under Master Togo himself. In his lust for knowledge, he studied intensively and started to surpass tests and accelerated faster then the now Headmaster Vhang. In 1069, he was sent to Kryta to act as a mediator to help return trade between Tyria and Cantha. In 1070, he followed Saul and his group into the Charr base and saw the acts of the “Unseen Ones,” later confronting Dorian alone, but deciding to keep his mouth shut because he thought a corrupt government is better then no government.

In 1072, he greeted the Ascalonian refugees when they arrived in Lion’s Arch. From there he joined Konig’s group because he wanted to use Konig to gain more knowledge, and he was interested in Azazel’s past as well.

After Abaddon’s defeat, Xaphan stayed in the Domain of Secrets to learn the knowledge that is in there. At first he helped Azazel look for clues of his past, then he just searched for new magic, new knowledge, anything and everything the domain had to give.

He eventually found a spell of eternal rebirth. This spell can prevent death even on top of the Bloodstones. And this spell has an eternal effect, never ending and impossible to work around. But this spell had a tremendous cost – a sacrifice of equivalence to 100 living creatures. Xaphan cast this spell on himself within the Domain of Fear, using the living land itself as the sacrifice – which turned the domain from being spider-like to a barren wasteland. He learned that the spell also gives all knowledge, experience, and emotions of the sacrifices to the one who the spell affects. Because of this, Xaphan learned of the entity known as Arachnia and felt the torment it felt as Abaddon killed and absorbed its power.

Genealogy:
Born in one of the lesser Kurzick Houses, his family was poor in money but rich in knowledge. Xaphan’s lust for knowledge is not unique to himself, but exists in his entire family line. Because of this, although they have not been rich since the days of the first Ritualist profession, they have always been the most knowledgeable. The Sariel House is constantly spending their fortune on more books and more ways to fulfill their unending lust. Knowledge is their most prized procession, even more prized then their own lives, and knowledge is always taught from parents to child from the earliest learning age, which for this family has become quite young.

All of Cantha, especially the Kurzicks, know that if you want an informant or just information, you would be a fool not to seek out the Sariels.

Zasalamel Rofocale:
Age (1079 AE): 42
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Biography:
Zasalamel was orphaned as a toddler, as such his family is unknown. He was found by one of, then, Lieutenant Morgahn’s troops in 1038 and was raised and trained by Morgahn. He trained in the arts of the Dervish along-side Varesh. At the age of 10, at which point he had learned enough to be a good captain in any army, he went to Istan and joined the Sunspears. As a Sunspear, he was trained by Gehraz alongside Kormir. He quickly gained the rank of Castellan within the Sunspear order.

When Nightfall was at hand (before it was sure to be Nightfall), he was left as second-in-command under Jerek when Kormir left to Tyria and Cantha. When Kormir returned, he led the heroes who came back with her during the assault on Gandara.

Genealogy: Unknown

Cypher of the Light:
Age (1079 AE): 738
Gender: Male
Race: Angel
Biography:
A being created by Dwayna in our year 341 AE. He served her in fighting the dark forces of various enemies throughout the Mists. In the year 851 AE, he was sent to investigate the portals that suddenly appeared throughout the many worlds in existence – later found out to be done by Lord Odran. In an attempt to stop Odran from going to places he should not, he accidentally went into the Realm of Torment – the one place that Odran should not have gone. Shortly thereafter, Odran was torn apart in the Hall of Heroes.

Due to Cypher being unable to prevent Odran from going into the Realm of Torment, Dwayna and the other gods saw this as a failure and considered Cypher corrupted by Abaddon’s touch. He was banished to an exiled land that has no name. This world was thought by the gods to be a land Odran did not reach, and therefore isolated, but they were wrong.

Cypher found a portal made by Odran and escaped to Tyria. When he reached Tyria, the newly formed Order of Whispers found and captured Cypher for questioning. After the capture of Saevio Proelium, Cypher was released. Depsite being held for nearly a century, Cypher forgave the Order for their actions and decided to help them in their fight against the dark forces. He even strengthened the prison of Palawa Joko and made the prison of Saevio Proelium.

When Nightfall was coming, he followed Jurah, the Master of Whispers at the time, and helped destroy Abaddon. With this done, the gods acknowledged their mistake with Cypher and he was brought back into his position under Dwayna.

Genealogy: None

Kaiserin Des Eises:
Age (1079 AE): Unknown
Gender: None
Race: Construct/Undead
Biography:
Kaiserin is of unknown origin. She was found in the Shiverpeaks, when the Ascalonians were heading to Kryta, being bound to the will of the Stone Summit. “She” (called she due to the feminine figure) was rescued by Konig, Azazel, and Agares, repaying them by helping them get past the Frost Gate, but could not leave the Shiverpeaks due to melting.

Kaiserin met Konig, Azazel, and Agares, along with their new group member Xaphan Sariel, in the Southern Shiverpeaks while helping the Deldrimor Dwarves with their fight with the Stone Summit. “She” helped push the Mursaat out of the Shiverpeaks while the others went to the Ring of Fire Islands and later the Titans. After that, “she” continued to explore the only land “she” can survive in, the snowy mountains called the Shiverpeaks.

Konig and the others met Kaiserin again in the Far Shiverpeaks when the Destroyers became a threat, but once more, could only give limited help.

Now Kaiserin continues to fight off monsters in the Shiverpeaks, but always shows up at Lion’s Arch during Wintersday, the only time of the year she can survive outside the Shiverpeaks.

Kaiserin is also very famous for summoning snowmen and giving out ice cream during Wintersday.

StarrTheInsane · Nov 27, 2008, 06:00 AM // 06:00

1078 AE was designated as "present day Eye of the North", but a year has passed so I have situated my tree around 1079.

Ronin Mortbane was a very large man, descended from Norn so many generations that no one even knew what Norn was anymore (until last year). He married Drina Saberlin (some relation to Armin, but not direct) and served in Ascalon's Chosen during the Guild Wars. He died prior to the Searing.

His two children, Argus and Stella, were 10 years apart. They were perfect opposites of each other. He was all about honor and loyalty, but had a nagging wanderlust; she always seemed a free spirit, but never felt the need to leave the woods and meadows of her homeland. They grew up learning to fight from Ronin, who had a stalker named Grim.

Argus had such a desire to see the world and to teach what he had learned, that he left for neighboring Elona. Stella stayed in Ascalon where she met her other perfect opposite, Arthur. Together they raised Aidan. Arthur did not survive the searing; Aidan fled and does not know his mother is still alive. He has been afraid to return to Ascalon as his family was known for pyromancy.

In Istan, Argus met Lohiz (before she was a guard in Vabbi). They had a son who was said to have "the face of a lion" so he thought it fitting to name him Grim after the family's Melandru's stalker. Grim was always a quiet child, and not much trouble. Argus tried to share his teachings with the Istani people, but they already had a very formal organization for martial training. Argus became restless, but didn't want to leave his family, and he knew they would not leave Elona. Finally Lohiz gave him her blessing to go and find happiness. She took care of Grim with the help of her mother; years later she remarried and they moved to Vabbi where Grim and his half-brother Jerome grew up.

After leaving Elona, Argus found the beauty of Cantha. He also found the people more accepting of what he had to teach and he knew he was finally home. He settled down with a Kurzick woman from House Ulrikar. They had 2 children, Starr and Gabriel. The emperor learned of Argus' work and requested his service in the Imperial Guard. When Shiro returned, many believed Argus had been killed. He had become ill and fallen from a bridge and was not seen again.

Starr and Gabriel were orphaned by the Affliction, but they were old enough to take care of themselves. Opal was not so lucky. She was only 11 when Starr found her stumbling around blindly in the courtyard of Kaineng. (After seeing her parents become Afflicted, Opal suffers psychosomatic blindness around the week of a new moon). Starr took her in and Opal was grateful, she took on the Mortbane surname.

Starr and Gabriel met Grim through a guild called Digital Chantry (a place of numbers, the Keepers and the Makers study the measure of a man and record how many fights and miracles it takes to achieve legend). Grim was saddened to learn that his father was dead, but more so that Starr had gotten to actually know Argus. He sounded like a great man.

During one scholastic trek into the Underworld, it occurred to Starr that she had never seen her father here, and she knew he was still alive. Meanwhile, on a merchant ship headed for Istan, a sailor who had been rescued off the coast of Cantha was plagued with dreams and pieces of memories. Lohiz's mother was the one who recognized him and helped him piece together what amnesia had stolen. Argus was crushed to relearn that he had a child and had forgotten him. He set out to find him, and found 3 children. Starr and Gabe were happy to see him. Grim was excited to meet him, but after not having him around most of his life, they didn't really have much to talk about.

Somewhere over the next few centuries, Grim's adopted Charr cub takes up the family name and his kind spread like wildfire (lol).

Yay! I'm very happy to see all the replies to this thread! I had no idea there were so many people who worked on family trees for their characters. I'm enjoying reading them. Thanks for all your responses!

Toutatis · Nov 27, 2008, 09:12 PM // 21:12

Here we go - Deus' family tree, going back to his earlist known ancestor. This is LONG, so I've split it into 3 images and cut out unnecessary siblings from the tree (but then again, when you have over 1000 years of family history you can't really make a short family tree).

Note: People in red are characters who have been RP'd (or who will be RP'd).

Tree part 1
Tree part 2
Tree part 3

Notable parts of family history:

2BC (Before Cataclysm), 1st Age: Azunai the Defender and Xeria consummate their relationship and give birth to a daughter. The child is sent to the safety of the Agallan Peaks to ensure her safety from the fierce war between the Azunite Tribe and the Legions of Zaramoth the Unmaker. Xeria is killed in battle a few weeks later, but not before she single-handedly cuts down every Seck mage in one of Zaramoth's major forward base camps. Azunai orders a temple built in Xeria's honour, placing her in history as the new Goddess of War.

1BC, 1st Age: Azunai and Zaramoth meet in single combat. The Shield of the Defender and the Sword of the Unmaker spark the first cataclysm, reducing most of Aranna to barren deserts and creating the first Dryads.

282AC (After Cataclysm), 2nd Age: Toutatis born in the farmlands of Ehb.

300AC, 2nd Age: Events of Dungeon Siege 1 - Krug invade the farmlands. Toutatis becomes an unlikely hero in the events that follow, leading up to the revival of the Seck (and their subsequent extinction under Toutatis' fist).

329AC, 2nd Age: Toutatis (named for his heroic grandfather) born in the town of Arhok in Ehb.

347AC, 2nd Age: Events of Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna - Toutatis chases down the Shadowjumper to recover the stolen Staff of Stars.

980AC, 2nd Age: The twin brothers, Deus and Drake, are born in the Ed'hel town of Aman'lu in Aranna.

998AC, 2nd Age: Deus and Drake set off on their Tal'naiesse (Coming of Age) journeys. Drake travels to Ehb to study as a Fist of Stone under the guidance of the Glitterdelve Clan, while Deus joins the armies of Valdis as a mercenary in order to exercise his love of Combat Magic. The Aegis Wars begin.

999AC, 2nd Age: Events of Dungeon Siege 2 - Deus reforges the Shield of the Defender to counter Valdis' recovery of the Sword of the Unmaker. The Second Cataclysm ends the Aegis Wars and once again, reduces most of Aranna to desert.

1AC, 3rd Age: Events of Dungeon Siege 2: Broken World - Deus chases down the Overmage to recover the stolen Shield of the Defender. Revival (and destruction) of the Familiar Surgeons.

2AC, 3rd Age: Deus disappears from Aranna after accidentally powercasting a town portal and ripping a hole in the dimensional fabric of reality as a result. He appears in Ascalon City in 1070AE (Tyrian Timeline), a few weeks before The Searing. With no way back to Aranna and losing most of his arcane abilities after being disconnected from his home's leylines, he reinvents himself as a Mesmer and settles into his new environment as best he can. Events of GW1.

3AC, 3rd Age: Drake learns of Deus' disappearance, and attempts to reopen the dimensional rift that Deus had disappeared into. A time differential between the two worlds means that while less than a year has passed in Aranna, over two centuries have passed in Tyria. And so, the events of GW2 begin to unfold; an outsider looking for a lost brother in a strange new world, as a great evil spreads its shadow across the lands...

Rothan Celt · Nov 28, 2008, 01:01 PM // 13:01

Ooo im gonna have to edit my one in here just wanted to say intersting trees guys.

Tender Wolf · Nov 29, 2008, 04:00 AM // 04:00

Deus, your family tree is incredible! So much detail and your writing never ceases to amaze me (recalls the GWMW days). All these family trees are making me look forward to Guild Wars 2 even more. Perhaps before it comes out, and for or after Christmas, I'll get my new computer that will handle it.

hahahaha I am so looking forward to February also, since that's when Tender Wolf's baby is due, and that's when I can continue/finish this family tree.

I can't post it yet, as that will spoil the surprise. I'm going to make a video to show if it's a boy, girl, or even twins or triplets. *cue suspenseful music*

StarrTheInsane · Nov 30, 2008, 04:17 PM // 16:17

These trees are awesome! We should really record some kind of census report of all the old families and dates. *bounces up and down excitedly*

Tender Wolf · Nov 30, 2008, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Yay!!! Reading all these is making me look forward to Guild Wars 2 even more. *dances like an idiot*

I've been working on mine, as soon as Tender Wolf's baby is born I'll be able to probably post the rest. The reason I'm not posting that part yet is because it's a surprise on what the baby will be, and I intend to hold a baby shower and to see how many people participate in the poll in guessing what it will be. I'm dying to know what everyone thinks!

Please vote!!! lol

But anyway, great looking family trees, can't wait to see all those characters come to life!

Guess im a bit too late for this Therad, anyway, had some spare time so did the Family Tree, was fun.

You're not late at all.

There's really no time limit for this; in fact, I bet we'll be seeing a lot more as Guild Wars 2 comes closer to the release date, since it is based on the descendants of our current characters. I'll be updating my own family tree at the beginning of February when Tender Wolf has her baby.

Love all the family trees!

Tender Wolf has had her baby! The family tree has been updated and a biography is on its way!
