Guild Wars 2

So I was wondering…

what will happen to the Dominion of Winds, the city of the Tengu? One of their walls/gates is in Lion’s Arch. Will they come to our rescue, or will they flee to their city and come out when Scarlet is dead? Maybe they open their gates after Lion’s arch is destroyed to help us or something? I just asked myself this when I was walking by the point of interest in Lion’s Arch. any thoughts?

I would love if the LA invasion eventually led to Dominion of the Winds becoming an explorable zone and playable Tengu being introduced.

That said, with the fact that Scarlet is looking for something and has seemingly found it in Lion’s Arch, she may not care about the Dominion and she might just ignore it. And as far as the Tengu are concerned, as long as Scarlet doesn’t encroach on their territory they might not care.

I guess we’ll have to see.

the funny thing about that dominion gate on LA is that it makes no sense.

looking at maps of tyria, the only landmass on what you could consider the dominion of winds is south of kessex/east of caledon. there’s a whole sea’s worth of nothing but water separating that area and lion’s arch.

what’s more, the maps provided by the novels (including sea of sorrows, which was released post-launch) confirm that the dominion should not go as far as lion’s arch. add the fact that there’s nothing that looks like a wall behind the wizard’s tower on garrenhoff (indicating the dominion doesn’t even go that far) and you have pretty solid evidence that whatever that gate is, it’s not tied to the dominion of winds. at best it might be a small trading post walled off from non-tengu.

so yeah, i have no idea why that gate is there, but it shouldn’t be the dominion of winds.

it could be a portal to the DoW…

The city of the Tengu is a floating island. It can be wherever they want it to be.
Look at the in game map again. As long as you have all the zones completed you’ll see that the Tengu starter zone is standing right along side Caledon with the outline of a city zone right next to LA.

that’s most likely what it is. point is, it’s not the dominion itself.

If those chickens will not help us, they’ll be di*k, sorry.

umm… no it’s not? look at the map. the dominion is walled off and definitely grounded. there’s nothing that says it’s a floating island.

if it was a floating island, they wouldn’t need walls to begin with. they’d just fly somewhere people couldn’t get in.

There’s two zones, the starter zone and the city. If you talk to enough Tengu, and apparently there is also lore somewhere about them it is actually rather clear that their city is a floating island, not unlike the Zephyr area and Rata Sum. It’s hardly uncommon, earth in Tyria floats over water in the presence of a strong magical field. It’s well known Tyrian physics. As such they can put their city where ever they want, and they put it just outside of Lion’s Arc. Zone on the other side of the wall from Caledon and Kessex is not the city, it’s the starter zone for the Tengu player race.

Just because it floats and can be moved does not mean it doesn’t need to be protected and couldn’t benefit from a giant wall.

1- “starter zone and city zone” are player designations to gameplay mechanics. for all we know, the whole dominion is like shaemoor, a city sitting in the middle of an explorable zone.

2- the dominion is not a floating island. don’t make things up and then assume them as facts. here, let the wiki help you out: “Built atop the island formerly known as Sanctum Cay”, and Sanctum Cay is most definitely not floating.

3- again, they have freaking walls that don’t go even as far as the end of kessex, much less as far as lion’s arch.

i know you want tengu really bad, a lot of people do, but ignoring the game’s facts and making up your own won’t make them show up.

Just because the Tengu are, by nature, isolationists doesn’t mean Scarlet may not pose a threat to them.

That wall may be a buffer to their lands as a whole. However, is Scarlet finds what she is looking for, that “thing” she may find may end up alarming Tengu as well. Where Scarlet may not pose a threat, whatever is under Lion’s Arch may potentially set them in motion against it.

Pretty sure if it’s a dragon/monster/demon/etc. that can shut down the very winds of the world and rot water, that would be a good time as any for Tengu to step up and go, “Awww hell no!”

Whether they be playable or not later (even if by means of “add-on” purchase through BL) remains to be seen, but I can see Tengu taking in some focus being that close to a threat larger than Scarlet’s personal army.

The only thing that can possibly be inside them is the Dominion of Winds proper, because all the relevant boarders involve the outside walls.

As for it floating, believe what you want. It really doesn’t matter either way, but that’s how I remember the lore. I don’t really care what the wiki has to say. I also didn’t say the entire mass behind the wall floated, that would be stupid. The Dominion is like Queen’s Dale, not Shaemore. Shaemore is just a small part of the greater zone.

i offered you a couple facts: a map. a wiki page dictating that the island does not fly. the fact that the tengu do not walk away of those walls, save for traders with special permission.

you just chose to ignore it and say “you just can’t see it!”.

i’m not the one that will be wrong, so suit yourself.

I think I understand the problem now. It is the fault of trying to fit mechanics around lore rather than the other way around like I said.

The Dominion of Winds is the starter zone. Of course it would be. The area of the game map right next to Caledon, like I said. There may still be a floating island in there, we’ll have to wait to see. Since the Lore states that the Tengu congregated from all over Tyria into the Dominion. As I recall some of them took their home with them, which is where I got floating island. I never said anything about where they landed. That’s really unimportant though, and you need to stop getting hung up on pointless details.

The City Zone doesn’t have to be part of the Dominion, they could throw together some kind of traders shanty town, like you somewhat suggested. It would even make sense because it would have all the things you’d expect to find in a City Zone. It could even be erected after the fall of LA.

All I will say is… there will be a large Features patch coming in late March

I’ve been loling at everything Kal Spiro has had to say. It’s completely random and lacking support from anything factual to the game’s lore. I think the floating island that he “heard of” is garenhoff, which has absolutely nothing to do with the tengu.

BrunoBRS, thank you for trying your best with this lost chap.

That being said, the gate in Lion’s Arch merely leads to the Dominion, and doesn’t connect directly to it. This is confirmed on the wiki page for Dominion of Winds.

BrunoBRS.5178:

the funny thing about that dominion gate on LA is that it makes no sense.

looking at maps of tyria, the only landmass on what you could consider the dominion of winds is south of kessex/east of caledon. there’s a whole sea’s worth of nothing but water separating that area and lion’s arch.

what’s more, the maps provided by the novels (including sea of sorrows, which was released post-launch) confirm that the dominion should not go as far as lion’s arch. add the fact that there’s nothing that looks like a wall behind the wizard’s tower on garrenhoff (indicating the dominion doesn’t even go that far) and you have pretty solid evidence that whatever that gate is, it’s not tied to the dominion of winds. at best it might be a small trading post walled off from non-tengu.

so yeah, i have no idea why that gate is there, but it shouldn’t be the dominion of winds.

That has always confused the crap out of me. From west to east, there’s a small space for like 1/3 of an LA right there next to LA, then there’s a gap where the Wizards Tower sits, then some ocean, then a landmass behind a wall next to Caledon. Why would the Dominion of Winds be split in half by this big empty area with the Wizards Tower in the center, unless the Wizards Tower is part of the Dominion of Winds?

ill be very disappointed if theres nothing new about tengu in the next update. all i want right now is to play one :c

I love how people harp on the least relevant part of the argument, but whatever. It doesn’t change the fact that the Tengu area and an area for a city about the same size and Divinity’s Reach has been sitting between Lion’s Arch and Caledon Forest since launch. That all you have to do it look at your map to see the obvious borders.

It all just comes down to how they want to introduce them.

Well to be fair, the wiki does say city zone for Dominion of Winds and it links to another page for Dominion of Winds (Area). That means for me that the city is on the island and the area of the same name surrounds it. The walls are on the borders at designated locations.

The walls were built by the tengu, so they know what lands they hold. May not lead directly to the city Dominion of Winds, but certainly leads to the “AREA” Dominion of Winds.

Besides, haven’t players already been inside the gates through portaling and glitching. Pretty sure there are many youtube vids of players in the zone.

On topic. Depending on what threat is posed to the tengu on a “sooner” than " later" basis(they haven’t really taken the dragon threat seriously thus far, that’s a later danger as the threat hasn’t encroached on their lands….much…well, beyond destroyers that is)

I’d say that if the threat to their race has grown to point where it’s undeniable that they would take up the sword in force once again to join our fight. Maybe the destroyers will break the walls. Maybe a dragon minion will assassinate their emperor and steal some powerful relic. Maybe some old prophecy will be realized and the tengu had to wait for a certain time period the lend help.

Beyond the real world facts that their story/environments/armors/animations may not be ready, all we can do is speculate.

If there is a dragon beneath Lions Arch and the Tengu sit this out, I will be disappointed.

I expect to be disappointed.
