there is an event in Caledon forest where you collect krait skins and the NPC says something along the lines of “An alliance will be forged with the blood of our oldest enemies.” how is this possible that these to factions are old enemies, the hylek live in the swamp and krait lived in the deep areas of the ocean until recently? I know the krait came and attacked the land to bring back slaves and sacrifices and such, and even that we could see krait in the swamps in GW1 but I don’t understand how they would be the hyleks oldest enemies, in fact many hylek tribes seem to fight each other still it would seem to me that their oldest enemies are different ethnicities within their own race.

Hylek being hylek, my guess is that she is talking about her tribe, not her race. The hylek tribes of northern Caledon seem to be loosely tied together by the Sun’s great beasts, and they are spaced out around the bay, so it’s possible that her tribe had no real foreign enemies until the krait moved in.

Sorry about the bump, but I just successfully completed the defense event following the one mentioned in the OP. The distrustful chief opens up a little, and he mentions that the interactions between his tribe and the krait are recent, and that, as I speculated earlier, his tribe had no enemies before then.
