Who built Divinitys Reach?
King Baede, the king during the time of Zhaitan’s rising, had commissioned Divinity’s Reach to be built. There’s a bit of the details in Sea of Sorrows about it. The city itself was founded a year after Zhaitan’s rise, but it continued construction for a while. It was financially expensive, given that the asura gate Baede commissioned alone cost millions of gold – and the first shipment was stolen by Cobiah at that.
How it was constructed is never delved upon, but given that there was no apparent magic used in ‘fixing’ the Great Collapse, I find it hard to see the city itself being a primarily magical construction.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I assume magic was used due to the scale of the city

There’s at least one quarry right outside Divinity’s Reach to the left of Shaemoor.

i did thiink of that but i thought it was just way to small
Ghosts of Ascalon mentions a prison quarry on Lake Doric – Lake Doric as we find out at Seraph’s Landing, is the eastern lake that was once Greater Giant’s Basin. So there’s a nice quarry of unknown size just east of DR. There’s also the one in Kessex Hills.

Maybe all the rock came from when they carved the cliffs off of that peninsula they build the city on?
i guess im just hopeing that once we get more maps there will we one that was a giant pit that circles down
and then there like well this is where we got this stone cause its magic… or something
i dunno it be cool heh
(just a random not thaught out idea btw)
i love theorizing i just wish we had more in the world to go of off
Also, there should be some large catacombs (As per Ghosts of Ascalon) underneath the city.
Exactly
or the sewer sytems in ebonhawk there are alot of cool areas that would be great to explore in terms of lore

Oh how I would love to delve into an “undercity”. A massive ossuary would be just perfect.
