Geography question
Geographically, and from a lore perspective, they are part of the Steamspurs. Mechanically, and from a gameplay perspective, they are counted as Maguuma, because neither the Maguuma/Tarnished Coast nor Steamspur areas were large enough to be their own (mechanical) regions.
R.I.P., Old Man of Auld Red Wharf. Gone but never forgotten.
Mechanically, yes.
Lore-wise/geographically, no.
I wouldn’t call Sparkfly Fen part of the Steamspur mountains either, btw, as they’re not mountains. It’s just the coast of the Sea of Sorrows and even holds some Krytan ruins to the north and Orrian ruins in the middle. Geographically it can more or less be considered a “no-man’s land” – stuck between Kryta, Orr, and Shiverpeak Mountains.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
