Guild Wars 2

Aside from doing the hearts around Tyria that involve them, we really don’t see or get to interact with the various branches in our home nations. Like orders and races, they could have some sort of special quest line and offer exclusive skins, titles, or even items. Since these are chosen in character creation, you simply can start the quests whenever but they will have a level difficulty so you must level up to continue finishing their quests. Some ideas could be:

Norn: Upon becoming a shaman for your lodge, animals of that species will be neutral to you at all times. They can still be attacked and will fight back. Additionally the shapeshifting linked to your lodge is buffed so you have stability for a short duration upon activatng it. Does not work for other shapeshfts if you arn’t part of their lodge.

Charr: Upon becoming a Captain in your warband, Racial utility skills recharge quicker. Also, warband support allows one of the summoned members to place a banner. Banner choice varies between the legion you chose.

Asuran: Upon becoming the (teacher) of your krewe, you gain additional experience from kills. Additionally, your 7-Series and D-series Golem skills will activate a “self-repair” at 50% health and heal themselves slowly. Heal amount is minor(20-35% max health) and would not counter any high damage enemy.

Human: Upon attaining a Captain title from your army, you refresh the cooldown of your utility racial skills upon reaching 25% health (2 minute cooldown) Additionally, Avatar of Melandru lasts 10 seconds longer (no stability after 20 seconds).

Sylvari: Once you learned the way of those awakened by (night, dawn, dusk, noon) you may regenerate health quicker when out of combat. Additionally, regeneration effects from racial skills are more potent.

As racial skills stand, none of these would (or should) appear attractive and would only serve as a slight bonus.
