Guild Wars 2

Why is there a lack of decorations in Divinity’s Reach?

In GW1 there were 4 places decorated for Halloween.

Droks – now in the sea
Kamadan – we don’t have access to.
Tombs of the P. Kings – in a way decorating the Mysts
LA – great job in LA by the way.

BUT Divinity’s Reach gets nothing? I find this strange when Mad King was Krytan, and the monarchy used to be in LA but was moved to DR.

I can understand the other towns Hoebrak, Citidal, RS, and Grove not being decorated, but to have a lack of it in DR seems odd to me. Especially when most of the quest are in the Krytan zones close to DR.

Agreed. This is a strange one, but admittedly I haven’t visited Divinity’s Reach during this past week so I just assumed it was decorated accordingly.

I can’t really see why it isn’t.

I’m going to assume they wanted to but didn’t exactly have the time.

Parts of queensdale, gendarren fields and kessix hills are decorated

How many places were decorated during the first halloween event? Also, of those places that were, how much decoration was there?

From a lore stand-point, Halloween hadn’t been celebrated in 250 years, if I remember correctly.

It was celebrated simply Mad King wasn’t appearing since 250 years.

WvW maps are decorated

I’m just surprised by the strong Krytan connection…the throne…that divinity’s reach is not decorated.

Maybe in a later Act.

Also on a Lore question. How many seals bind the Mad King in the Mad Relm? I know that 1 was broken when Salma took the throne.

Divinity’s Reach didn’t exist during Thorn’s reign. Why would it be redecorated by his magic? Lion’s Arch is where Oswald Thorn lived – it’s where the royal palace was, after all. Gendarran, Queensdale, and Kessex are all his territory when he lived.

I never quite understood why Droknar’s Forge and Tomb of the Primeval Kings got decorations, outside of being player hubs that is. With that understanding, then decorating LA and the Mists is all that’s needed tbh.

@HappyDale: Never stated, we just know of 2 seals.
