Guild Wars 2

Hiho Everybody and greetings from Austria!

I visited the Eye of the North again and i took a closer look! In GW1 It’s said that the builder of the EotN are unknown, and that it’s standing there since a long Time.

What if the first owner of this monument were the Seer? This would explain the srcying Pool.

That’s one of the theories. But I don’t think you should take their group’s name literally. Seer – like Forgotten – are always capitalized, while other races names (mursaat, dwarves, jotun, norn, charr, etc.) are lowercased. The Forgotten is literally a nickname given to the race because their true name has been forgotten. The Seers’ case is likely the same, as the introduction to them is that the one we met was supposedly a seer. This capitalization may be just a series of typos though since they aren’t exactly keen on consistency in this domain.

This all said, I personally suspect it to be built by a mixture of races – perhaps the original five surviving races (dwarf, Seer, mursaat, jotun, and Forgotten). I think that purely Seer structures were made out of ice and stone – the city of Moladune, never seen but described, in GW1 as a city built purely of ice and stone that disappeared overnight in some distant past (could easily be made to be during the time of the seer/mursaat war during the previous dragon rise) – reason I think that’s “Seerian” is because the last known living Seer (all Prophecies Seers seem to be the same individual) resides near the Iron Mines of Moladune. In Eye of the North, I think we actually see these kinds of structures.

In several of the Far Shiverpeak dungeons, you’d see ice changed into very unique shapes. And among these dungeons, in Raven’s Point and 2 others sharing its level, one can find statues of stone coming from the walls. They have 2 distinct shapes and one of them nearly perfectly matches the Seer physiology.

Structures I refer to:

One of the two statues referred to (they’re near each other in the dungeons, sadly don’t have a picture of the other statue it seems – the two are distinctly different, this one having an elongated cranium and more fingers).

Lol, I remember reading that article you wrote Konig. I think it was the first non-wiki based lore article I ever read.

EOTN could have been built by anyone. Anet gave us zero hints. All we know is that its creator is an enemy of the elder dragons. That’s why it gave us visions to counter them.

The problem is, who isn’t an enemy of the elder dragon? So this is pretty much not a hint at all.

The idea that the seers had a part in it based on the “architecture built of ice and stone” theory has some possibilities, but it is built on a really kittenumption that may not be expanded upon until the Deldrimmor Front becomes available.

Actually, CHIPS, the visions was just what the PC was searching for – in Hearts of the North the Scrying Pool was used to look at what Kieran’s done. The Scrying Pool is capable of looking at all past and present events the user – if said user can have enough mental focus – thinks of.

So really it can be anyone, but from what we’re told – it’s not norn, asura, dwarven, or human. It doesn’t resemble known jotun, mursaat, charr, Forgotten, kodan, or Seer architecture either. Unless they had some ancient designs that were lost and forgotten to time and mostly destroyed anywhere else (which given how study the Eye of the North is… would be weird).

@Narcemus: Honestly, trying to point anything to the Seers is a huge assumption beyond GW1’s infusion magic and the Bloodstones.

How come you can write assumption and it doesn’t get censored, but when I do it does?!?

Edit: apparently putting big before assumption makes it worth censoring? IDK what this censor is looking for anymore…

And yeah, I do not think it is a bad theory at all. I hope you didn’t think I was aiming that direction. I was just pointing out that there is room for doubt.

I wasn’t saying that you were calling it bad. Just that it’s really hard to be confident of anything related to the Seers due to them being such a huge enigma.
