Guild Wars 2

Nothing too phenomenal but i often see this little snip-it of information overlooked greatly.

its said in game quiet often as well.

“History never lies, Historians however….”

Before Gw2 we had Gw1 lore. Much of which was based around history recorded that stated many things that were untrue. Whether the information was forgotten, lost, or actually destroyed on purpose, that told the honest truth and provided the missing pieces , we didn’t know any better until much later in the series. (See Abaddon for an example).

Now that Gw2 has arrived, a few generations have passed, the land scape has changed, races have died or lost their cities and homes were much of the history forged in Gw1 was kept. Anet has taken a very semi-realistic stance on this and thus not all in-game lore can be counted on to be factual or absolute law. This isn’t Marvel or DC comics.. Historians can get it wrong in real life, and they can get it wrong in Gw2 as well.

That’s all I’ve got guys. Chill out and wait for the ride to finish before flying off the handle about plot holes and inconsistencies.

P.S. Where da eff did all the kitten mountains between the zones come from?
