Guild Wars 2

Anyone got any info on the flying island with a mansion/castle on it, located in the very south east corner of Kessex Hills? what is it, what’s it’s name, how does it fit into the lore(flying island, and the castle itself) will we ever be able to go there?

just ask to the villagers

you will learn that a powerful mage, issgaren, is living here. He can command to lot of elemental you can see in the village, and those elementals protect the villagers. More, they totally obey to the villagers, doing what they want (this include fights between elementals).

You will learn another interesting thing: every villagers who were invited to going to the castle never came back to the village, and nobody know why they didn’t back. They think “because the life must be way cool at the castle”

It’s called the wizard’s tower and was also already around in the first Guild Wars, however at a slightly different position. Some villians, like Galrath tried to gain entrance in it and it was up to the player to stop them. No one knew what was inside back then, we only knew it was too dangerous to get Galrath and others get their hands on.

Ledha is right, almost everything we know, you can learn from lurking around Garenhoff and asking or listening to the villagers. They have a number of misgivings about the place, but very little solid information – except that the elementals that protect the town from from the wizard in the castle, and they have been safe and obedient… so far.

The Wizard’s Tower is one of those things I’m kind of expecting to be the focus on an event update one day down the line. I hope that they let us in there one day, but who knows?

hmmmm, who knows. somehow the whole tower feels so much out of content. It was there from the early days of gw1 (the villany of galrath has quest id 1, meaning it was the first quest ever created, wich was later confirmed by the devs).

I kinda like the enigma around the tower and personally I’m hoping they keep it an enigma. But off course a full scale event (like lost shores) concerning the tower would be awesome.

Or a new lv 80 (or 90) dungeon for when the next expansion comes!

<i>however at a slightly different position.</i>

Also, it lost altitude. I wonder if this Issgaren guy moved it to be closer to the village? (I mean, if someone is living there and figured out its secrets, surely they could move it.)

I agree with keeping it a mystery. If anything ever DOES take us there, I want it to raise more questions than it answers. Like, if we find out something we wanted to know, that revelation, itself, should make us wonder something.

(or 90)

Never never never never never! Don’t even think about saying something remotely sounding like that!

Maybe we will kill Isgarren during an event, and take his castle for transform it into our Guild Hall

I’m sure the villagers will love you for killing the maker of the elementals that keep them safe…

We also learn from the villagers that the elementals sometimes seem to act like they don’t want to be slaves to the village, but they keep going as if they’re forced to.

Yeah, so what do slaves do when they get free of their master?

My theory would be that Issgaren somehow with his magic bounds the spirits of the villagers that never come back into the elementals, and controlling them as well. Either the elmentals could be concious of what they are or not, and a rampaging one could be a villager trying to free himself from his new body/control from Issgaren.

For what purpose would he do this, I do not know. If he lives in a flying castle away from danger he must be a pretty excentric a paranoid guy.

Isn’t it more likely that he’s just kidnapping normal elementals and forcing them to be servants? Don’t really need villager soul-sucking for that, we see elementals all over the place. And I imagine the elementals wouldn’t be happy to stand there guarding a village while ten-year old boys tell them to fight each other, or little girls poke them in the face.

Kill Isgarren, and I’d expect all of them to suddenly start murdering everything in sight. Which would probably be bad for a town with exactly one town guard.
