Guild Wars 2

Hi fellow guild wars players!

I have created a human elementalist and am about to do the fall of falcon company quest in which I am to choose the origin of my character’s background. Now I know this has really no impact on the game what so ever or well except for the appearance of the dead sister, but none the less I like to have some sort of history to my character which I can relate to.

I have nailed it down to either Ascalon or Kryta, but as I am not too familiar with the lore regarding these places I would love to hear your opinions as of which place would be the best suited, well, lorewise for an elementalist?

Both really. Humans are highly capable magic users, no matter where they come from. Special mentions still goes to Orr though, where magic users were so common that they used magic for their every day jobs.
With only Kryta and Ascalon to choose from, well I might say Kryta, since Ascalonians seem more down to earth, more likely to be a warrior or a ranger. But that’s more personal opinion and not based on the lore.
I’d say go by the looks. If he is more tanned and mediterranean looking go with Kryta, if he is a paler more nothern looking guy, go with Ascalon. Atleast that’s how it was in GW1, in GW2 Krytans can be pale and Ascalonians tanned, since we have a happy mixed bag of humans without any identity nowadays…

Right thanks a bunch! I was also favouring the Krytan more, but as it came to my attention that some of the ghosts in Ascalon was named Ascalonian Elementalist I suddenly found myself a bit torn between the two.
