** So why wouldn't the White Mantle want to kill you at first, and make you help them out? The Eye that ''does'' reveal Chosen ''already revealed you'' - you just didn't think much of it. It even [[SpecialEffectFailure hits people during cutscenes]] - meaning that ''they'' could be Chosen too. The White Mantle could have decided to let you live because if you work with them? You won't fulfill the Flameseeker Prophecies!

Prophecies. They also don't think of anything odd about you because it could be anyone.
** This is also why the Seer tells the players they will destroy the Mursaat - they're the first Chosen to make it that way.
*** An added layer as well - The Chosen are of course, TheChosenMany. When the Seer sends you on your way (and infuses your gear), they ''chose'' you.

* How come nobody simply looked north and discovered that there are giants up there? The Ebon Vanguard was already up there, plus Kahmu had also been up there for a little while. Not to mention, it's right next to the Charr Homeland.

** FridgeBrilliance: Charr might have thought that the Norns were just large humans. They also aren't in any position to want to compare notes with humans.

Could HAVE, not could of.


* The Mantle's chosen who they routinely kill; it's stated that [[TheChosenMany any one of them]] could have fufilled the Flameseeker Prophecies. Well, what are all the players? Those chosen. The people you find were potential heroes who could of been at the same caliber as your characters!

* In ''GuildWars: Nightfall'', the surname of the villain (Ossa) is Latin for 'bones'. It's already fittingly creepy for [[DarkMessiah Varesh]], but then I remembered that her ancestor was Turai Ossa (who united Elona), and he fought Palawa Joko. Since Joko is a necromancer, he's [[EnemyMine always trying to control the Bones]], and when he succeeds in ''Guild Wars 2'', he rules all of Elona with the undead.

Factions/Nightfall characters calling Rurik their prince was likely an oversight. Prophecies was made first, before foreign characters could have been made. They would have had to rewrite and rerecord dialogue to retcon their involvement. Factions and Nightfall, made later, are better about accounting for foreign characters.


* Rurik is called "My prince" by the player character at the end of Prophecies, even if they're Elonian or Canthan. How would they know who Rurik was, or that he sacrificed himself to save the heroes?

Added DiffLines:

* Not to mention, Elona and Tyria are connected to one another (in fact, you can even walk into Elona from Tyria and vice versa). But there's a very good reason as to why you can't simply walk in...you have to go through the sulfurous wastes in Elona, which is an instant-kill for anyone. Makes sense that a ship is the best way in. It's even deadlier and more time-consuming than Marco Polo's route to Asia.
