[Volitar]

Hello, I am Volitar and have been a long-time lurker of the Lore Forum here. I've finally decided to get involved in this forum based upon some of the more recent topics about the gods and how they could not actually be gods which would explain why the Mursaat decided to stop following them.

I am very much interested in the Mursaat, the nature of the pantheon of gods and the history in Guild Wars.

My IGN is: Volitar Aurelianus

[Katscratched]

Realized I should introduce myself. Usually go by Imiko Rari in game (and most people just call me Imi.) I have both versions of the game, I've had them both for over a year, and never seemed to finish the last mission in Tyria, but finished the main story arc in Factions within two weeks. I love to map EVERYTHING, talk to everyone and take little notes on pieces of paper my boyfriend probably really wants to throw away. I've already posted a few times here, but I thought it was time I actually posted /here/. I have an interest in languages, and a BFA in fine art, which I think has helped with being very observant of detail. I love hard facts, proper dates, and sourcing things.

[Blobulator]

Well I've been lurking for awhile, finally got involved and wrote an article on The Ulrikars, so I guess I should introduce myself.

My main IGN is Valen Demius (E/Me), though I have 6 PvE characters total, and I have both Prophecies and Factions. I love the little facts and interesting bits of lore that combine across campaigns and such, and also the little in-game hints to future campaigns.

I'm very interested in the Gods but one of my great interests is the Kurzicks. My favourite of the two factions, and most probably my favourite civilisation of Tyria and Cantha combined.

Hi my name's Fira and like Elvin ^ this is my first post to these forums =)

Nice to meet you all =) !!

(I will say now, my english is very bad...if I make lots of spelling mistakes hehe sry~ just ask me to repeat myself)

I've been playing GW since beta, at first I just played it to work on my horrible "engrish", however watching this game grow and change over the months really attached me to this game ^^

Just finished up Factions, waiting for Nightfall...

umm a noob question to the good members of the Tyrian Academy of Sciences ;)

With new continents of Guild Wars universe being revealed, would they be included in your studies? Or are you mainly focused on the known continent of Tyria?

/wonders to self if anyone read this lol

[Quintus Antonius]

Welcome to the Lore Forum, Fira. To answer your question, yes, TAOS does focus on Cantha and the lands of Chapter 3 as well as the continent of Tyria. In "Tyrian Academy of Sciences" the "Tyrian" refers to the planet Tyria, where all of Guild Wars (with the exception of the extradimensional realms) takes place, not to the continent of the plant's namesake.

[Moiax]

My name is moiax, and I have been playing this game almost since release. I have both campaigns, and have become increasingly interested in the lore that defines the guild wars universe. I would love to become more involved here, and I would definitley be up for some expeditions out into the unknown. My main character is Mench Willick E/Me, I have a necro, warrior, ranger and monk as well.

I have finished the factions campaign 3 times, but I have yet to finish the prophecies one(only been playing for 14 months......).

The Crystal Desert and the Mursraat are among my favorite areas of interest, and I am a devout Kurzick.

[Kalidri]

I am a lore forum lurker. I guess I shall come out of the shadows and declare myself. I have currently 3 ascended characters (I did ascend all 6 classes, but only kept 3 from chapter 1...I am merciless) and 2 that have completed the storyline of chapter 2.

My ranger is a TGMC, so you might say I have been everywhere, like a bad disease :) I love to explore and I have a very good memory. People can describe a place in chapter 1 and often I can run them out and go "is this the spot you remember?"

Please count me in if you need someone to come along and fill a spot. Anyhow I enjoy the forums and like to post occasionally. I will try to stay topical when I do...but sometimes the humor beast will whisk me off topic and I ask for your gentle forbearance.

[Kara]

Hello!

I've been around on GWO for some time now (and around GW since the betas!)... mostly lurking, but I go through posting frenzies now and then. I haven't spent much time in the lore forum yet, but I think you guys are doing a great job, and I think I'll start participating more!

I'm a story junkie, it's my favorite part of the game. I can't get enough lore and roleplay. Hopefully by participating in this section I'll have more insight for my "groups", namely my guild (Sentinels of Arah [SoA]), my alliance (Guardians of the Mists), and the Guild Wars Roleplayers Association (gwrpa.org). I'm a busy girl, running around all over... but I can't figure out why I didn't pay more attention to this great section sooner! You guys are fantastic!

Pardon me as I weasel my way into your discussions.

[Mekarah]

Hi everyone!

My name is Liz, and I'm currently my third year of university studying Anthropology, Spanish and Japanese. Only one left...:P

I'm relatively new to posting in this forum (I'm a bit of a lurker), but I frequent another forum. This forum, however, has much more lore and discussion than the other, so I may have to stick around here. I haven't officially done much in terms of lore, but reading through these pages, it interests me quite a bit, so I hope to learn something and hopefully share anything I find myself with all of you! I love PvE, the storyline, and all of the background and lore of Guild Wars, so I hope to learn and help. At the least, I hope to join in on some discussions :)

Thanks!

[Rognik]

Hello, my name is Rognik and I'm an alcoholic. Oh right! Wrong speech.

Anyway, my primary character in Guild Wars is Rognik Listell, a mesmer. I've completed the main campaign and just recently finished the Nightfall one (as you can no doubt tell). I like to jump into the thick of things instead of making big, flowery introduction posts like this. Um, yeah.

Lore-wise, I was trying to explore all of the map not long before titles were even suggested as a possibility. I've gone and searched most of the nooks and crannies, and interrogated all whom I could. I may miss some of the obvious points, but I'll certainly find some obscure ones. So I hope that I'll be able to provide some useful insight into the lore and that I can build on what has already been collected in this... library? Symposium?
