Guild Wars 2

I can’t help but compare them to Pyrite

Are Asuran buildings… Grown?

I don’t know what the answer is, but yes, yes it should be.

Woooooooooo geology!

According to the wiki, Rata Sum was the magical ruins of a previous civilization which the Asura modified for their own needs and used its general aesthetics as a guide for their own buildings.

As for the construction of new buildings, I assume they just use golems to carve them out of stone. Probably in a modular manner so that they can be assembled at the construction site.

What do you suppose is up with the writing on the buildings?

I’ve never seen writing on Asuran buildings, but I know that all the enviornmental text in the game is written in “New Krytan”, so you could probably translate it using the article on the wiki.

Probably using Golem as slaves, asura are ingenious and somewhat evil

Lets hope it won’t turn out like The Matrix

Golems don’t even have self-awareness. How can they be “slaves”?

You don’t consider your computer a slave, do you?

Someone did translate it. It’s basically a short history of the Asura, a more dramatic version of what’s said at character creation.
