Raven.4561 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 According to the timeline in the novels the Firstborn were born into Tyria in 1302 A.E. but, in the game they are referred to have awoke "twenty-five years ago", Examples;https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eistoir https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fighting_the_Nightmare . Which is the canon date is it twenty-five years or is it simply a case of rounding and they really were born in 1302 A.E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Prob just a case of rounding. It's a fairly common thing to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a fairly common thing to do^ ANet typically rounds to fives or zeroes in their writing unless it's something that was really recent or the speaker is being really precise for some reason.

starhunter.6015 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The cannon date will add on a year ever new year the game is out, sadly they don't seem to update the in game info on the dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 As Aaron said, ArenaNet loves to round. In this case, they rounded 23 to 25.@"starhunter.6015" said:The cannon date will add on a year ever new year the game is out, sadly they don't seem to update the in game info on the dates.That's just the current date. Most maps are "stuck in time" as it is, and the personal story happens in 1325. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
