More pale trees?
One wonders if the OP has played the Sylvari personal story “Where Life Goes.” It is my favorite of the the three, though all of them are valuable when trying to understand Sylvari.
As for there being Sylvari on other Continents, I hope we will discover that some say. Not sure if they’d be all the same or if they adapt to the environment. Also not sure if they can live anywhere outside a jungle.
While doubtful to them appearing on other continents (ESPECIALLY xenophobic Cantha), very high chance we’ll encounter sylvari of other tree’s under the control of Mordy as they are his minions after all.
Its safe to assume the “darkness” in the Dream was actually Mordy’s original hold on the Sylvari of the Pale tree
Yeah, I know this may be a bit lore breaking, but what if there were more pale trees? I was thinking, since Tyria hasn’t been in contact with cantha and elona for a while. They probably don’t know Tyria has a new race. So maybe they have their own sylvari’s?
Elona has a massive palm tree as their pale tree and the sylvari could look desert/tropical related.
Cantha could have a massive cherry blossom tree. And the sylvari are very flowery and bright and Asian influenced? I don’t know but I thought this could be a good idea.
There is at least one more Pale Tree. Create a character and play through “Where Life Goes.” I imagine that the fruit of any other Pale Tree than the one in the Grove will be under the full influence of Mordremoth. Those Sylvari in the Maguuma jungle that attacked the pact are probably from that other Pale Tree.

There is at least one more “Pale” Tree (probably not called that). It’s hardly a spoiler since this information has been in the game for three years now. Though this shows who the obsessed sylvari players are^^
The principle of the Pale Tree could be found all over Tyria, though the outcome might not be the same. “Our” sylvari are the way they are because of Ronan and Ventari. So depending on who, if anyone, “raised” those other sylvari, they will be vastly different kinds of beings.
Might be we’ll encounter a new faction like the Nightmare Court in the Maguuma Wastes, though this time flipped around – the splinter faction are the “good guys”, broken off from a larger group that still belongs to another tree, only this tree is under the influence of Mordremoth. Actually, I’d be really surprised if we don’t get to see Malyck’s tree.

Well, there goes my idea. C: but I really hope we do get to see Maylaks tree. But maybe he doesn’t have a tree. Maybe mordey made Maylak himself.
Remember the Pale Tree grew from the mysterious seed Ronan found in the cave guarded by terrible creatures back in Guild Wars 1. It’s highly likely this cave held many seeds seeing as the story is told that Ronan escaped with a single seed. This was planted near his family’s grave (eastern parts of Tarnished Coast) and was nurtured with the aid of Ventari to become the Pale Tree.
It’s highly likely something has become of the other seeds in that cave; one key factor being Malyck in the Sylvari personal story who doesn’t come from the Pale Tree like all the other Sylvari. Plus there could be more, but we don’t know.
But I’m hoping we’ll find out in Heart of Thorns.
