Guild Wars 2

Charrs can have some romance too. In the World Summit from Living Story 2, the Imperator Smodur replies to the PC when he asks for the Charrs to unite to defend Tyria against Mordremoth:
“You should visit us in our territory one day, so you can see how the Flame Legion and Ascalonian ghosts kill our loved ones. Then perhaps you will understand why we can spare no one”

Charrs can love too and yeah a romance would not that of a surprise. But, when i see how teenagers the romance are in GW 2, I really hope they would work hard on it to make it not laughable…really hard

This said, I would like to see a romance between 2 Charrs in the main story

Clearly, the sorty about Caudecus is not over and ArenaNet has not forgotten him. Who knows what will happen next anyway but yeah, it is some subjective vision about the truth that happened back in GW1.

Lies have a part of truth in it, that’s why people trust them

For my part, if Magdaer is the one sword responsible of the Curse while Sohotin is the cure, I think that the first shall be destroyed to put an end to the curse.
Or it may as well be reforged in one unique sword with its twin sister. If you mix a cure with the ill, then the ill disappears right? That’s second thought comes with the blacksmith part but it is a bit too far and somehow a bit illogical maybe.

Or the sword may be left at all and no story about Magdaer (not really sure the idea is cancelled)

We do not know about the Nightmares like we do not know that much about the Dream. It is an interesting concept of a Hivemind but unfortunately it is bound to a video game where it is not fully explained. I will not blame ArenaNet though, they are not the only ones to not explain enough the stuff they crafted. Whatever, focusing on Sylvaris but forgetting to talk about the core of this kind, it is somehow unacceptable.

Concerning, Cadeyrn, yeah but here again there is a difference between the Cadeyrn in the little stories written for the lore and the one ingame. Why? Just because the focus has not been made. The personal story does not deepen enough things but it is way too late to fix that problem there.
And with the LS 3 focusing on other dragons, asking many more questions than answering them, I doubt we ever see the Sylvaris enjoying the background they deserve. Gotta be the role of the community somehow

Let’s put it in a nutshell (yay sylvari ya see?): Nightmares are tormented parts of the Dream but we don’t know anything of its true nature.

Thank you for the answers though Aaron, even if i feel I have been mostly reasoning “loud voice” at some point. You still brought some clarity on some points.
Thank you a lot, very much appreciated.

I thought that was the work of Luminari to protect the young seeds from the Nightmare when they come to Tyria.
What shocks me the most is about Faolain and her relationship with Nightmare: while Caedwyn has been the creator, it is said on the wiki that Faolain has been chosen since she embrassed the Nightmare itself. And here my questioning: where in the books is it said that the Nightmare is a sensible thing?

For all we know and you pointed it out, Nightmares are a foreign part of the Sylvaris but that do really exist in the Dream so it is all about the psychology.

It makes me think that ArenaNet does not really know that much about the Nightmares; The fact they are mysterious is nice ok, giving them some freaky dimension but it looks like an excuse to not eveal anything on it.

And it is really sad.

Well, sorry for the long time before i post this message but : thank you for your answering, loving the way you explain your thoughts before summarizing it.

It is sad Dream and Nightmare are concepts we evolve alongside and they have a huge importance in Sylvari’s background (well in fact, they are the essence of the Sylvaris) but are still kept mysterious. Because of it, our plants-like friends look way too close to human beings. And this something I cannot accept.

You may ask yourself why I asked you those questions: well, it is just because I would like to write some story about my Sylvari characters but I really need to learn more about Nightmares and Dreams. They are way too much hidden and some times I wonder if ArenaNet knows itself what it has created.

I really dislike the fact Nightmares are shown to be cut off from the Dream while I thought they were the darkest places of it. It is unclear how Nightmare Court could really influence the Pale Tree but for me, it would be logical it those twisted horrors try to grow up inside the Dream. Maybe it is what ArenaNet wanted to explain to us but as it is shown in the game, Nightmares are too much described as something foreign to the Sylvaris.

For my part, I strongly believe the Dream and the Nightmares are the 2 extremes of Sylvari’s mind, since they can decide to live only by themselves (like the Silent ones).

Hi people,

I will go straight to the subject: how far can a Sylvari goes to the Nightmares but still manages to go back to the Dream? Can a Sylvari still hears the call of the pale Tree while he is only a novice in the Nightmare Court? Can a strong feeling prevents a Sylvari to fall too far into the Nightmares?

This last question is about something else so it is apart from the others: some Sylvaris feel a unique feeling about an other Sylvari (their way of loving). Thanks to that link, can they feel the pain of the loved one or does it interact with the Dream like an other feeling (and so, both those Sylvaris only share a humanlike love)?

Sorry for the bad english and the mistakes I could have made, this is not my native language.
I hope I did nothing wrong regarding to the rules (I don’t see for my part)

Thanks for your answers if you do, have a good day and fun on GW 2!
