Guild Wars 2

I find the name ‘Font of Rhand’ to be very odd since ‘Rhand’ has no other meaning (that I know of). Is there someone in GW2 Lore with the name of Rhand? The Wiki doesn’t say much about it…

If there is a meaning behind the name, there’s no such lore presented to players.

All we know is what the Font of Rhand is – a human burial site for high-ranking military officers prior to the Searing.

So what is a Rhand? In English (or any other language that I know of) Rhand has no meaning. Font does… and I understand what a ‘Font’ is but ‘of Rhand’ seems to imply that Rhand is a place or person… it would be tragic if they just made up a name and didn’t give it any real basis in lore.

Might be a tribute to a player or guild.

Google search comes up with the company “RHAND Credit Union Co-operative Society Limited” and a piece of Star Wars lore – Rhand is a planet in which a group called “The Sorcerers of Rhand” were formed; said group believed in a power greater than The Force called The Dark.

So either Anet made it up and hey there’s apparent random matches; or one of them is a Star Wars fan who knew about the Sorcerers of Rhand. I’m betting the later.
