The journey of the hero is filled with trials.
Trials of courage.
Trials of loss.
Trials of war.
Each Forging the hero in the fires of resolve, wisdom, and strength.
Propelling the into the unknown.
This journey never ends.
The hero’s journey is to become legend.

I dropped a few tears of happiness and sadness when I heard this. This is exactly how I understand the concept of a hero. And it makes me both, really thrilled about playing this and forging my legend, but also sad as I kind of wish to live in Tyria for real :-) .
Thank you ArenaNet, for letting dreamers like me to at least touch their fantasies on a computer screen :P.
