I don’t think they ignore those teachings at all. I think they strive to live towards those goals. They are young and inexperienced. It is one thing to learn these teachings in the Dream, and it is something else entirely to achieve them in the waking world.

This could be the case, but generally when you’re striving for something, you actively think about how to do it. During these event chains, there isn’t the slightest bit of hesitation or remorse. No remark about how regretful it is that we must kill others so that we may survive.

Additionally, we seem to do just fine with the rest of the teachings on the tablet. It’s the rule about all things having a right to grow that we seem to blow of at every opportunity.

Instead of running around slaughtering fireflies for luminescence, we would capture them in order to learn about how they create light. This slight switch in the event is almost the same thing, yet more in line with the sylvari moral code.

Yeah, I see what you are saying. I think it is as simple as game mechanics. We can’t have one race running around trying not to kill or harm anything, when combat is the main focus of the game.

That is it! I found it on youtube. Thanks for that, its really beautiful.

I just wanted to thank the artists, writers, music composers, just everyone who was involved in the creation of the Sylvari. I made a Sylvari ranger today, and I spent about an hour just relaxing and exploring their capital city. It is a beautiful place that I found to be so relaxing and was a huge stress relief.

I also enjoy my Sylvari’s facial expressions. He has this innocent look about him that really fits in with the personality I would expect him to have. His accent is also really nice to listen to, and he has a pleasant voice.

I love the piano music that plays during the view points that I have found in the capital city. I find it to be really relaxing and beautiful, even if it only lasts a few seconds.

I spent some time standing around and listening and watching the npcs interact with each other. I found myself laughing quite a few times at the jokes they tell to each other. Listening to a Charr discuss the glory of a battlefield to wide-eyed Sylvari was priceless.

I also enjoy how the Sylvari seem pure of heart. They love someone for the person the are, regardless of gender. It is really refreshing to see to this, and I think it is exactly what love should be.

I could go on, but I just wanted to share my experiences with the Sylvari. Logging into the game after a hard day, and just being able to relax and feel peaceful is wonderful. Keep up the good work!
