Hairball.8029 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Since Elona has been isolated from Tyria for awhile, and the continent is mostly human. What do they think of the other non-human races? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draxynnic.3719 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 From what I've seen, it seems to be curiosity, mostly. Tyrians haven't been showing any hostility to Elonians thus far - living Elonians outside the Mordant Crescent, anyway - so they probably feel they have nothing to feel threatened over. For those Elonians that are opposed to Joko, Tyrians are a counterbalancing power against Joko, and for those that support Joko... well, due to the warnings of the Order of Shadowss, we've largely avoided openly fighting Awakened thus far in such regions and focused on fighting the Branded and Forged.

Westenev.5289 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 "For the last time, I am not a grouchy cactus man. Nor am I a giant talking choya. You urchins have the manners of a fifthborn."~ Canach, Small Victory (Epilogue)I think this quote about sums it up nicely. The few other races are merely civilian scientists or researches, and innocent ones at that. Hardly the sort of people to leave a negitive impact, like the Inquest or Nightmare Court.

dusanyu.4057 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 in Riverlands there is a Child asking alot of questions to a Asura their along the lines of "are you all so short" ect".Elonians may just be more Cherious about he other races but clearly know that other races existed due to stories of Centaurs, Forgotten, and Dwarves.

Rognik.2579 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Playing as a non-human and talking to some key NPCs (Gorea Halfcut, Redeemer Kossan, and possibly a few others) will note that you aren't human in their initial exchange, but will generally treat you the same as if you were human. Let's face it, Elona at the time we visit it has bigger problems to worry about; when a strange being starts fighting alongside them, most people aren't going to question it. In fact, I think it's only the children who ever expressly gather around the other races and ask them any questions. And, for the sake of completion, there's an ogre kraal moved closer to the abandoned Zephyrite camp that has a few human refugees in it, and neither are fighting each other, so it seems they see the Branded and Forged as greater threats. The desert is a harsh environment, even in the best circumstances, so why turn away an ally when there's a bigger threat looming just above the next dune?

Fluffball.8307 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Speaking of inquest, it's just a matter of time before we find some there. They seem to have unlimited resources and numbers, and there is a super-charged dragon in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugrakarma.9416 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 In Elon Riverlands, they put adventurers of various races seeking the "ascencion," I believe it was a way of illustrating that Elona was not 100% isolated, it is not said how long there are adventurers from other places visiting there.

To be honest, in fact, I was surprised at how easy it was to get through the Bone Wall. Would have expected the first time to involve a mission to assault the gate, find an unguarded weakness or side gate, or something along those lines, rather than simply riding straight through the front door.

Doubly so, considering that there is an unguarded zone portal further east that's indicated to be the route of all the refugees we've been helping. With a choice between that, and walking up to knock at the gate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Ansari.1604 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Far, far more than anyone's bothering to count. There was a tongue-in-cheek dev statement back around launch that they're now being born about as quickly as we're making sylvari characters.

Alga.6498 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I do hoping to see other kind of nations/clans/tribues/something from our 5 races, just like Kryta, Ascalon, Cantha and Elona.We'll prob see a new and different norn Groups as higher up we go to the Far Shiverpeaks, I'm sure- along with the Flame Legion Charrs.

Aaron Ansari.1604 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I doubt we'll be seeing much in the way of living norn in the Far Shiverpeaks. Everything north of our maps has been swallowed up by Jormag, and any norn left up there will be icebrood by now. Some might have ended up further west, though, in the Woodland Cascades- the Fractals picked the Mossman up from somewhere, after all. I also wouldn't mind another lost branch of asura that haven't vanished without a trace, or a different tree of sylvari, Blood or Ash charr... ANet has possibilities to work with.

Folks compromising of herders and gatherers are known to be hospitable, especially nomads and their descendants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The order of whispers has been in and out of Elona prior to Path of Fire, and the order consists of all the races. So, it would be safe to assume that Elona has seen the other Tyrian races, wouldn’t it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good chance that nonhuman agents generally stayed out of Elona due to being more conspicuous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Most elonians have never seen the far krytan races, except the Charr.I think the Norn like Dwarves must have existed in some stories. As for Sylvari and Asura, well, there have been groups past the gate for exploration. So their existence would've spread like a rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
