Guild Wars 2

So is there any reason why hundreds of seashells are stuffed into the walls? Did the Consortium just give up when they were finding materials in the rebuilding process?

must be a clean up from scarlet debris of blowing up the ley lines in lions arch is my guess

Looks like fossil-rock. Possible that the shell fossils are part of the stone fabric. The walls maybe large, cut-out blocks of stone mined somewhere in Tyria.

Fossils in Walls:
- Fossil Rock Walls of Montreal
- Fossil Rock Walls in New York City

Big Stone Block Building:
- Sacsahuamán, Peru
- Roman Acropolis of Baalbek &Temple of Jupiter

They could also just be sculpted in to suit the Consortium’s desired theme-park look. They did pre-fab a lot of the stuff off site and drop it in.
