I’m pretty sure a Kodan wouldn’t use you as a Guinea Pig to see what happens with any given experiment. Kodan philosophy is more let sleepy dogs lay, and Asura are more “I wanna see what happens when I wallop that drake with my Arcane Lightning Rod.”

He doesn’t just have armguards on both sides; his right armguard is blue, his left armguard is red. And I don’t think it’s any co-incidence in their design that his two former apprentices, zojja and kudu, have seemingly identical armguards between them.

Incidentally, Snaff was almost certainly a mesmer (Most of his research was into mind-technology interfacing, and their master plan for kralkatorrik basiclly involved dominating his mind), not to mention the abundance of purple in his getup

Actually, he has Red, Blue, and Purple in his getup which means that both Kudu and Zojja derived their armors from him (each taking a different stance on his research).

It’s a very deep symbolic meaning, because Zojja is taking the Blue (typically related to doing good) colors and the right arm (she ended as his right hand apprentice). She looked up to Snaff like a father.

Kudu, however, took the Red side and the left armguard. He believed that Snaff’s research into utilizing the dragon’s energy was good, but believed it could be better. He wanted to control the dragon’s energy and use it for his own purposes. He took Snaff’s research then twisted it for his own deeds.

Zojja, on the other hand, left Snaff’s research alone because she knew (that Snaff knew) that the research into controlling dragonic energy was too dangerous.

It’s very lore-oriented.

Law of Unintended Consequences: When they put that in to stop people from doing just that, they gave them a new reason to do exactly that. LOL! Good job, ANet.

You are right, basically every ausra NPC doesnt respect me as a norn, so why should I really feel obligated to be nice to asura in return?

What an unfortunate oversight! How rude of us. Please, enjoy this chilled beverage…

Is anyone reconsidering my plan to eliminate the bookah threat now? Yes? Good. Mother always said my ideas were ahead of their time. True genius is never respected in its time.

Well, you can’t conquer the norns. They live in cold places. You are cold blooded reptiles. You’d be wiped out by just walking into their territory.
Same with the steppes around the citadel: no sweat system means your organs will melt.XD
Differently from you, Charrs at least equip their machines with WEAPONS.XD
Not like your golems.

Poppykitten. There is no problem my brilliant Asuran mind can’t overcome. Cold is easily countered by the proper application of tightly controlled Thermodynamic Stress Vectors with an Transaetheric Modulation Calibrator. I should be able to fabricate the prototype by dinner.

As an added bonus, my wondrous device can also operate in reverse, allowing it to apply inverse stresses to overtaxed thermal systems, proving it to be an adequate heatsink.

You silly bookah couldn’t possibly understand the complex underlying principles of Dynamics that govern such a magnificent creation. Just stand there in silent admiration and remained stunned into silence. It makes targeting you for eradication so much simpler.

Now then… Stand still while my Golem’s non-existent weapon systems lock on and obliterate your tiny uncomprehending mind…

Oh, by the Eternal Alchemy…

To bookahs it may concern,

Kindly disregard the Inquest cohort. The Inquest and their ilk will be dispatched in a most satisfactory and vicious manner as soon as possible. Howbeit, judging by the subpar comprehension of its representative with regards to foreign relations, it would appear there is naught for you to consternate.

As a substitute, undersigned offers numerous advantageous contracts within an asuran krewe to bookah migrants. We are forthwith approbating applications for test subjects in scientific pursuits. Several benefits are offered, including, but not finite to:

  • Minimum emoluments
  • Hibernation installation
  • Sustenance of intermediate-to-eminent quality
  • Lenient commision schedules
  • Protection from foreign hostile forces, limited to singular-head hostiles only
  • Carnassial supervision and treatment
  • Personal assurances on a regular basis that all experiments cause no permament* injury

Observe that employment contracts do not include you as a krewe member.

Inquiries are directed to Recruiter Dlixx of Gravinomics.

It is a well-known fact that intelligence is invertedly proportional to the accumulated mass of the body encompassing it, hence why norn still adhere to an archaic religious system comprised of an agglomeration of mammalian representations, or why charr are scantily able to affirm a deuce of cast plates fitted to countervail even a burst of sternutation.

In reference to this observation, your statement is clearly unbefitting of any asuran. We are to the inerudite bookahs as the Eternal Alchemy is to the terraqueous globe: transcendent, incomparable, unequaled. How do you propose their impoverished faculties could comprehend the pulchritude of our form? It must be as when a progeny first glimpses the interminability of the Eternal Alchemy – humbling, envy-inducing, perhaps even a bit terrifying. Their counteraction is only commonsensical.

Considering I am a benevolent asura who does not want to eschew our ordained varlets, I will even append an ancillary that even the most mentally challenged bookahs can comprehend.

Bookah. U dumb. Sry.

Do you hate Trahearne?

I like Trahearne. He’s very him. He just took a roundabout way of getting to his Wyld Hunt. Ok, our Story just about had to drag him kicking and screaming into finishing his Wyld Hunt.

We were the driving force behind that. Yep. That and a very large undead monster dragon beastie who wanted to kill everybody. Very driving. Very behind me in that running screaming way.

It ended well.
