Guild Wars 2

According to GW2 Wiki:

:According to Technician Penn, waypoints are magical matter-transportive devices devised by the asura to make it easier to travel long distances.

If the Asurans invented the waypoints, why does Kiel have the power to to give discounts to the people of Tyria during the election? Is there a “behind closed doors” agreement or deal between Kiel and the inventors of waypoints?

What are some possible lores or story behind this? Any speculations?

It’s possible it’s between Magnus and the WP inventors/current managers/whatever.

Magnus seems to be throwing himself completely in for Kiel…………..which is another reason I don’t quite trust him.

Kiel is somehow connected to Asurans – Thaumanova reactor AND the Waypoints. I guess it will be revealed in the future.

At a guess, Kiel told some influential Asura that if she won, she would fund research into the Thaumanova Reactor in exchange for them reducing waypoint costs for a time.

What has me more interested, though, is that a Charr is interested in the fall of a Human God.

Ya that’s kind of what I was thinking. The whole Asura thing has been done a million times but ANet must have some interesting plot on why a Charr cares about the fall of a human god. My vote mainly came down to I’m done with Asura plots.

Charr are interested in Abaddon probably because Abaddon was behind the manipulation of their entire race through his proxies the Titans, which were encountered by the Flame Legion and subsequently hailed as gods. However, we killed a bunch of them alongside their charr worshipers, which shook everything up for the charr. It made them realize that the Flame Legion and Shaman Caste were just a bunch of power hungry jerks that were tired of the Khan-Ur infighting game and found a way around it by uniting to impose worship of the Titans and devout belief in their will as being the will of the Titans (or something like that, it’s never really clear how they convinced the rest of the charr to follow them).

So yeah. Charr have a decent reason to want insight into what inspired a human god to take interest in them enough to manipulate them and then give them an artifact with the power to finally overcome the kingdom of Ascalon.

Might be a way to figure out how to recreate or rediscover the artifact to fight the Elder Dragons for all we know.
