Guild Wars 2

So going through the Snowden Drifts and seeing the fallen OWL hall and doing some events with the Owl Shawmens/devotees and after reading all the tidbits of info in the destroyed Hall I would have chosen OWL over any of the other spirits. I think it would be awesome if there was a world event or living story that rebuilds the the Hall of the Owl and at that point Norn players could change their animal guides. Or a personal story bridge that allows you to work towards honoring OWL and eventually as Norn becoming a devotee of OWL and change your spirit animal. For example a DE could be to help rebuild the OWL hall, run defense on supply trains, a personal quest could be to organized a moot (scavenger hunt style ongoing quest where you find NPC’s all over Tyria and invite them, gather supplies for the moot as sort of a grand re opening of the Owl hall).

I think this would be fun and only people who were truly interested in the spirit would need to par take in the personal story archs. It could also be cross races because lets be honest living among the different cultures you could have humans worshiping Norn spirits Norns who worship the human gods and even Char who find their path under the pale tree. SO i guess the Owl Idea is not limited as there are all kinds of lore nuggets floating around in the different cultural areas that could be utilized to allow for player growth and expanded personal stories.

Fun idea for a weekend but several ideas are flawed based off of lore.

That lore being that: when the Norn fled the northern shiver peaks, the spirits of the wild held Jormag at bay as long as they could, this resulted in the Spirit of the Owl being killed and completely destroyed.

No spirit animal = no power to call upon = no power to call upon = no transformations = no shamans = no spirit guide

far as we know there is no way to replace or bring back a guardian of the mists such as the Spirit Animals.

I agree. I didn’t make a Norn because I dislike their design, but Owl would have been my character’s selection. The wise, protective mother-matriarch is an appealing character theme. The second best you can get is Wolf, who protects his pack.

LOL a Charr folllowing the pale tree, no way any self respecting Charr would do that.

Owl was a delicious meal for dragon.

Despite Owl’s apparent death (was that reference to “hope” hinting at more than just the survival of the of the Norn through Owls’ sacrifice, hmm?) I did an event cycle “Protect the Owl shaman while she banishes the Dragon totem” last weekend, and Owl’s shaman seemed quite active.
