The Fall of Ascalon

Nope. It should take place years after Eye of the North. When Ascalon finally falls. Anyway the "Dragonrise" one sounds interesting if it is indeed the second GW2 book.

Well, at least now we can be a little less disappointed when we hear nothing on GW2 in the second half of this year.

Ah, let me rephrase, after the Charr started to attack Ascalon again and the King used is sword to raise up the Ascalonian dead.

It might cover the whole period starting with the Searing, or even before. Remember, not everyone who picks up the book will be a GW player or know all the background that we do. I think a novel would have to give at least a little information on how and why the conflict began, as well as the years of fighting in Ascalon and the events affecting the Charr in their homelands, to make the resolution of the story understandable.

Let's hope it's better-written than the fiction in the prophecies manual!

I just hope they won't wait to release the game until all 3 books are out. That would mean a 2011 release and a hell of a wait.

Indeed, this books is far past the EotN. Its about when the charr finally finish the war and destroy ascalon as we know it.


Remember the official GW2 note: "Ascalon now belongs entirely to the Charr apart from a single fortress, Ebonhawke. Ascalon City itself is a ghost town, populated by the vengeful spirits of its former citizens who slay all who dare enter. "


So its about everything getting wiped out except 1 last place thats probably some last-stand kind of thing.



Mostly i love that there is finally a book comming out. Its been said by Anet that this book will describe most of the 250years, which likely means that GW2 isnt far off now.
