Sylvari theory
Well, Sylvari are born with certain ideas about other sylvari. Like I believe that because of their similar Wyld Hunts Trahearn and Caithe feel much like brother and sister, whereas Caithe and Faolain came out of the tree with a more intimate relationship. We don’t know how exactly these form, but I’m sure there would be a mixture of sylvari being born with relationships already made and sylvari being born and making new relationships. I do not think that the specific relationship you are talking about has appeared yet in the game. The only type of parental figure that sylvari seem to possess is their mother, the Pale Tree.
I liked that idea. I would be intrigued if they ever showed something like this happening.
A lot of people would like a lot less sylvari in the game’s story, heh. I’m fond of them myself, but they do rather take a lot of spotlight in the story so far.
I’m not sure how I feel about the idea of sylvari ‘parents’ being conveyed in the Dream – it doesn’t fit for me, somehow. However the idea of a Wyld Hunt based on love (such as ‘find this person, you Dreamed of them, they’re your soulmate) would make a fantastic sylvari saga. Which I now want to write. Heh.
I don’t really feel like a parental connection between Sylvari would really work. They’re all meant to be like children in a way (obviously not in a lot of other ways). But I think the connection between Sylvari is very much that of friendship and occasionally as if they’re siblings. Especially when you look at the firstborn who all treat each other like close brothers and sisters, and they in turn end up feeling like older brothers and sisters to the rest of the Sylvari (at least to me).
With your idea of Wyld Love Hunts I kind of like it xD. I do actually recall reading or listening to Ree Soesbee say something that sort of suggested that some Sylvari meet another and just KNOW that that is the person they want to/are meant to be with.
I also imagine that there are a lot of Sylvari who have met another Sylvari in the dream and then found each other afterwards because they have strong feelings from back in the dream. (Mind goes to the numerous Sylvari NPC’s who say “I know you from my dream” – Perfect Sylvari pick up line right there)
