Dreams from Old

Faren has been getting on my nerves again. A new woman nearly every day and he inevitably looses them to his own faults. He’s as blind as Kormir with none of the sight. I wasn’t going to go visit the statue today but Faren drove me out of Salma with his incessant womanising. It’s unfortunate that the plaza is next to the district, I would have loved to have put some distance between me and there but Divinity’s Reach is a haven and I should not question the founders. I sat with my back against the wall facing the statue, so intricately carved yet I don’t believe that the faces are true. How can you ever know the true identify of a god, only what they have shown you, or what you believe, truth is always veiled by illusion. The Seraph guard to my right was nearly dozing off and the Priest well, didn’t seem all there. Perhaps it’s just me. I don’t know what I was expecting really, maybe a sign, a voice on the wind, perhaps even noticing someone in the crowd that didn’t fit. There were a couple of children, one Sylvari and concerned parents but nothing more. I felt a little isolated there, which was nice, my own little world with my back to its wall. The sun passed overhead and people moved on. The guard had been shouted at by his superior for falling asleep and the priest had wandered off somewhere. I stared deeply into the twins’ faces, trying to read something I don’t know, I must have fallen asleep, a dream, a fantasy but they spoke.

Chronicals of the House of Azure: Unsympathic Asurans

Compensation Lacking

I know the Asura are not famed for their compensation when one of their inventions starts malfunctioning but this is beyond a joke, almost two weeks unconscious, years of my life erased and all I get is a Larynx to Data Modulator, or for those of us without the arrogance and overly complicated intelligence of a Asuran, a voice recording device. From what I’ve been told by the Sister of Dwayna that looked after me, I was struck by some form of lightening. According to her, an elementalist’s lightning surge missed its target, stuck the Asura gate I was passing through and when I came out the other side I lost nearly everything of my life. And this is the reason why I got practically nothing from the Asura. You see the Elementalist in question was human and not Asuran, and so the problem wasn’t the fact I was struck while in the gate, or the fact the gate may have interacted with the lightening, no, it came from a human, and therefore my problems were of human and not Asuran concern. Lord Faren only managed to get me this trinket with a few choice words and also a better grasp on my family than my own.

The Edge Project

Posted 24/08/12 by geneazure

The Edge Project is a new idea that comes straight from the community for the community. The nature of Guild Wars 2 has a huge focus on story and character we thought we would do the same here. I’m Azure by the way and I would like to introduce you to GWOnline’s new community project called ‘Edge’

As we all know with Guild Wars 2, the developers wanted to tell the player a story, our own personal ones, so we thought we should start telling stories ourselves. What we’ve come up with is a cross between a blog, a let’s play, and fan fiction. Essentially the project involves a large number of gamers, writing about their experiences in game as the character. However, this is just the scratching the surface; this whole project focuses on you, the community.
