Ok, i've been reading posts like 'How will we get to nightfall?' and 'What will the new continent's name be? We don't even know if there will be a new continent yet, people. I'm putting my money on the idea that it will actually start from a different area of the Prophecies world, because the character description of the Paragon is 'Guardian angel of the Elonian people'

What do you guys think of the matter?

Yes, there will be:

NCsoft has announced the third Guild Wars campaign, Nightfall, which will have an exclusive PvP preview for current members on July 28-30. Like its predecessors, Nightfall is a standalone module with a new continent to explore, and will only require the earlier games if you have characters to transfer. However, veterans might be tempted to start fresh with one of the two new professions -- the angelic Paragon or the scythe-wielding Dervish, both of which are previewed at GameSpot.

Forget "campaign 3." The next chapter in the Guild Wars franchise now has a name: Nightfall. Like Guild Wars Factions, Nightfall is a stand-alone chapter in the Guild Wars online role-plaing saga and it will introduce a new continent to explore, new gameplay features to experience, and two new professions to play with. We got our first glimpse of Nightfall during the Electronic Entertainment Expo and learned that this chapter is set in a North Africa-like setting, with sun-drenched coastlines and dry, desert interiors.

The Elonian people do not inhabit the Crystal Desert. The ghosts you see there came from Elona in order to Ascend (Hence, "Elona's Reach", probably the furthest they got.)

It is very likely that the new continent will be the land of Elona, and that it will pwn a hundred times more than Kaineng City.

So Elona has absolutely nothing to do with the crystal desert then? even though it mentions Elonian Keys? or would Elona perhaps be a large extension to the Crystal Desert area and beyond?
