Guild Wars 2

Spoiler – This is from the new map and may give away some surprises about the latest Episode. Do not read any further if you don’t want stuff given away.

In the new map you can find the tomb of a golemancerZinn. This is a screenshot of the actual tomb.

Does anyone know what it says? I don’t think it’s New Krytan (or at least I can’t match any of the characters up to the alphabet on the Wiki, and I don’t think it’s asuran because it’s too square and the characters are too spaced out. (It’s also not Futhark runes or any other real-life runic alphabet I’m familiar with.)

Given it’s Zinn’s tomb it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s in a code or a mix of languages. But I’m terribly at working out things like that. So any ideas would be appreciated.

At first glance I was sure the first word would be “ZINN”. That would get us:

ZINN _ I _ _ NI _ N _ N_ _ _ N

Going further I’d be guessing:
ZINN
HIS _ NI _ N _ NO _ _ N

Any further or other ideas?

It’s old ascalonian:

Zinn
His genius knew no bovns

Whereas I think “bovns” is supposed to mean “bounds”, but the childish misspelling is probably a joke from the devs.

Apparently as I found on reddit, this is in Ascalonian alphabet. It reads:|
ZINN
HIS GENIUS KNEW NO BOVNS.
Whatever “bovns” is supposed to mean.

V is is ancient letter for U in the greek and latin alphabets, on which kryta is loosely based.. so I guess it’s a childish attempt to sound “acient” or historic

Wow, that was weird…we just came to the same conclusion in my map.

I think it’s supposed to be “Zinn, his genius knew no bounds” – but bounds is spelled bovns.

So now the question becomes: who would have been there when he died who would have written a grave stone in Ascalonian?
