Guild Wars 2

Hi! I’m looking for a list of Krewes (real npc ones) that currently exist in Tyria, and if possible, a tiny description of the field in which they work. Thanks!

Ooof. That would be a pretty extensive list.

well to narrow it down, are there any krewes you can think of that deal with research of light? like photons and stuff

The Opticalium krewe in Metrica Province comes to mind.

In fact, now that I have a bit more time today, here’s all the named krewes in Metrica Province alone:

- Terranexic (earth)
- Aeronotics (air)
- Incinergen (fire)
- Hydrone (water)
- Opticalium (lightning/light)
- Incomp Optics (general golem research)
- PR&T Esoterics (ooze)
- Brill Alliance (skritt intelligence)
- Aqualimits (underwater exploration)
- Luminates (Luminates power plant)
- Chaos (preventing fallout corruption among the skritt)
- C.L.E.A.N. (cleaning up the Thaumanova reactor fallout)

Unnamed krewes:
- Blopp’s krewe (battling the Inquest trying to conduct experiments on lake creatures)
- Shoon’s salvage krewe (near the Funhouse)
- Parnna’s krewe (researching the Destroyer gate)

And of course, there’s the Inquest themselves. Note that the Inquest is simply an umbrella meta-krewe; there are dozens of smaller krewes within the Inquest working on any number of other research projects at any one time.

In fact, the Inquest in Dry Top appear to be conducting research on the Aspect crystals, and even developed a golem that utilises the light energy from Sun crystals as evidenced by the Light-Infused Golem.

Hmm, Opticalium could be the krewe i’m looking for. You see, right now I have an Asura gaurdian. I know the Asura are all about technology and all that, but I absolutely love the feel and mobility of Asura, and the guardian plays very well on Asura. So, as I played, i noticed alot of the guardian skills have a strong relation to light, and light energy, etc.

So I thought, some great backstory for this guy would be this:

I’m a retired researcher of a Krewe that studies in the field of light, and light energy. During my time there, I found a way to bend photons into a type of hard light energy, similar to the type we see on Asura side railings, you know, those long beams of blueish green light that act as barriers on the edges of walkways. I discovered a way to actively change the direction, speed, shape, light intensity, and much more of these hard light beams as they pass through the air, using special frequencies and passing the beams through certain ionic metals and such, and turn the initial beam into a versatile type of projectile capable of taking many different forms. (all of the different skills guardians have for use)

And thus, lore upon which a technologically savvy race like Asura can play a guardian is born

Asura guardys rock!!
