Btw, since they lost Lion’s Arch and the tengu took sactum cay, with the sylvari taking the western shores, are there any Krytan ships atm?

There’s a small port in Garenhoff, but nothing else. Maybe from the unexplored area west from LA, D’Alessio seaboard is still uder Krytan rule and got some ports?

Kryta never has been a big seafairing nation in my opinion. And given the fact that during GW1, the ships in Lion’s Arch all had sails with the mark of Orr I would think that it where originally Orrians who wheren’t caught in the cataclysm and started working for the krytans.

I think the only operating navy is owned by Lion’s Arch, or the Black Lion Trading Co. since all the ships have their emblem on them. OF course, the ships all suck anyway, they’re tiny, have no cannons, and about 50% of the ships in game are sitting so high or low in the water they’d capsize.

Well there is still the Giant’s Basin (and the Lesser Giant’s Basin), which could support a navy. Sadly we never got much information about it, though in my opinion this is odd, since Kryta’s focus shifted more towards the north, so actually the Giant’s Basin should be more important now.

Edit: I forgot, the Lesser Giant’s Basin doesn’t exist anymore. Instead we now have the Lake Doric, which is located in the Harathi Hinterlands (how much I hate the world Hinterlands, sounds so wrong).

As has been commented above, there’s no evidence of a Krytan navy on the Sea of Sorrows. Lion’s Arch is the major port (and supposedly they have cannon-armed ships of the line, from a comment made in the first Battle of Claw Island), Rata Sum has docks, and it’s questionable whether Garrenhoff is actually part of Kryta at all (there’s no evidence of Krytan authority – even the token sheriff isn’t wearing a Seraph uniform).

There is, however, a Krytan navy in the lakes around Divinity’s Reach at least – that’s how Seraph’s Landing is supplied. Why there’s no mention of that navy extending further north is open to interpretation – it might be that the river delta is unnavigable to seagoing ships, it’s blockaded by some enemy, or that it’s just not relevant enough to have been mentioned yet.

To those who think Scarlet hate means she’s succeeded as a villain:
People don’t hate Scarlet like Game of Thrones fans hate Joffrey.
They hate her the way Star Wars fans hate Jar Jar Binks.

And let’s not forget that although Kryta may not have much of a navy, it appears that the pact is building one of sorts. Air ships. So I guess I’ll amend and say they are building an Air Force. Of course, I would speculate that the pact will also have a water fleet due to some of the personal story line arcs.

A group of us were speculating that it may be these airships that take us to other parts of the world since sea and land has us blocked at the moment.
