Will be first introduced in Eye of the North, with the "birth" of the first Sylvari witnessed during the Eye of the North storyline. They are a young race of nature spirits. They are agile and magically adept, with a connection to plants.
Concept art depicts a Sylvari female as a slim humanoid with leaflike hair, soft facial features and swirling tattoos.
So far, Sylvari has been used in the plural and possessive forms, the correct singular form is currently unknown.

Anyway, back on topic. Yes we know that the Sylvari will not be in GW:EN as a hero race or anything, but we will experience their birth int he storyline.

AFAIK the Sylvari will be filling the shoes of the Elves in the Guild Wars universe. It was bound to happen, and I can't say I'm sad because of it. I've always loved the whole "concept" behind Elves (the LotR universe elves, that is) of a magically adept people with a rich lore and high intelligence but too independent for their own good. And the Sylvari are an amazing twist of the cookie-cutter Elves virtually every fantasy game has incorporated. Instead of the most ancient od races, it'll be the youngest race in Guild Wars. I like how the Guild Wars universe sets itself apart from most RPG universes by their unique races or twists to existing races and professions.

While i'm not a fan of "Elves" in general and not as entusiastic(sp?) as you are about sylvari. True, though I set them closer to Dryads. Time will tell i guess. Can't wait to see the male Sylvari.
And to Lonesamurai : not so sure about the "widely known" part.

Dryads, at least the variations I've seen in games, don't have a male gender.
The ones in Dungeon Siege 2, for instance, are all female and it's a well-kept secret of how they reproduce. Probably grow like plants, but who knows.
Still, can't wait to see how they're arrival will be presented in GW:EN.

I didn't mean by what they more resemble from basic fantasy stereotypes, I more meant Arenanets 'highly magical super race that can do anything except take a hit'.
