    What is Tyria Pride?🏳️‍🌈
    Tyria Pride is an annual event that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and our allies both in-game and out, and raises funds for Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organisation which helps LGBTQ+ people around the world escape state-sponsored persecution and violence!

    The main Tyria Pride March is an event spread across two days. See the post about the main event here: tyriapride.com/2024 🌈

    This is one of many Pre-Events planned by both Tyria Pride organisers and indivdual guilds. Check out the other Tyria Pride posts in the "Community Events" section of the Forums or join the Tyria Pride discord server for information on the other Pre-Events!


    What is the Turtle Party for Tyria Pride? 🐢
    The Turtle Academy community thanks Lelling for the opportunity to host a Tyria Pride Pre-Event for the first time! 🌟
    The event is a series of fun activities that will take place in Arborstone. The focus is to help spread the word about Tyria Pride and advertise the Rainbow Railroad fundraiser! 🏳️‍🌈

    Content:
          Chaos tag game: while waiting for everyone to join the event's instance, we'll play tag! Except everyone will be both cat and mouse...
         
    Mini-march: once everyone is here, we start marching! We will head to Club Canach, so make sure you can enter (you need to complete EoD's story up to a certain point)
         
    More funsies while we march: turtles walk very slow, but we may have prepared a few things to show/teach/ask you...
         
    Race: The race is not always to the swift
         
    Fashion contest: prepare your most shelly looks and win some turtly awesome prizes! - theme: Proud Turtles
         
    The end? ...get ready for the weekend: Tyria Pride's main event is just around the corner


    How to join the Turtle Party Pre-Event? 🐢

    ★ Keep a look out in the Tyria Pride discord server for when the squad launches! 📣
    ★ During the event, you may come hang out in voice chat, but that's totally optional! 💬


    How to get involved in Tyria Pride?🏳️‍🌈
    The success and scope of Tyria Pride depends heavily on help and volunteers from the community! If you wish to help out, there are several ways you can do so such as: volunteering, streaming the event, contributing in-game prizes, organising pre-events and spreading the word!

    Fundraiser 🌈
    As always, we're aiming to create actual change and improve the lives of LGBTQ+ people worldwide, so we are running a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, an organisation focused on helping LGBTQ+ individuals escape state sponsored persecution and violence.

  2. Yep, if you read my entire wiki page you'll notice that a lot of New Canthan logograms are identical to Old Canthan. They just changed the typography/style to make it look new. Among these we find "man", "woman", the classes that didn't change from gw1 to gw2 (war, elem, necro...)...

    But yeah my point was that I'm reaching a kind of dead end in my search for the meaning of many symbols and I'm looking for a fresh PoV or a little hint from the devs TT

  3. I did write that the two symbols looked identical (resembles the Jade Brotherhood's emblem - probably means "jade")

    Also I'm not really interested in pronunciation but "Xunlai" used to be the name of a bank, so it's not very likely that it could mean "jade tech". It could maybe work with "Hyeoksin" though :

    Quote

    In 1829 CC (1319 AE), Hyeoksin Jade acquired the assets, patents and trademarks of the Xunlai Guild, an old banking guild managed by Luen Ai

    (source: wiki)

    If you're interested in this kind of research I'd be happy to share ideas with you

    I'm guessing Xun is the Canthan pronounciation for Jade (which is pronounced  in chinese mandarin btw hence I made the connection that it's a one-meaning symbol)

    This means the =口 is Canthan text for lai 

     

  4. I've spent the last few months studying New Canthan, understanding how it works, looking for unknown logograms out in the open world and redrawing them.

    I'm reaching a point where I can't seem to find any new hints in the world or online... so as I walked into Dingus the other day I asked him if Matthew Medina would answer if I asked him for hints. He said "Surely, but it probably won't be the answer you want".

    I guess this is where I should be asking ?
