Birth of 1st sylvari?
Tender Wolf
Okay, so I know all the new heroes and such, and I heard that GWEN will show the birth of the first sylvari? My question is, is it during the game or do we have to finish the game to see it? And where about in the game do we see it? Does anyone know? I love the sylvaris! hehe Thanks!

At the end of the game Gwen has her wicked way with Vekk in a field full of red Iris flowers and a flute. The combined genes of both races mixed with the magical properties of her fiery wrath cause a sylvari to be born. They then wrap it in a small girl's cape and take it home.

No one really nows, all we know is that they will be born durning some part of the EOTN, if its near the end no one knows, till the game is offical out only anet knows.

We get to see them at the end of Eye of the North.
I just hope they are not what i think(and many others are starting to think) they are

What do you think they are? Elves? Well, I saw a pic of one but they don't look like elves. How about what that one person said? It's a cross between Gwen and Vekk having their wicked way? I don't think so...

Its more of...what they were. The Sound Files of EotN that the poster Santax linked to say something....and this something has been speculated to be the origin of the Sylvari.
None the less we will be seeing the Sylvaris birth.
They still look better than the other races.

they look like grass people...

They look cool... I doubt they are elves.. I mean.. they are NOT elves even if they do have pointy ears (though i'm not saying they will) I thought I saw a picture though and it appeared they had wings or something kinda like what the paragon does once in awhile.. i don't remember but in the mag I saw a picture i was thinking they looked more like faieries.
But I think they look cool.. in fact i'm pleased with what i know so far about all the playable races.

The mag says that they know no sadness and what not so maybe they were some of the first beings created by the gods and have never had any offspring.
I am guessing that we might meet up with some during the story and at the end we will see the first birth of a slyvari.

The Sylvari to me seem to be more of a pixie/fairy type folk. There are certainly no pointed ears

definitely a cross of Gwen and Vehkk

They're not Elves...they're Silvari...They will be their own race, just as the Grawl, Margonites, Naga etc are NOT Orcs...
To me they look like some sort of forest or water sprite. I like the sound of them. Can't wait for GW2

Maybe someone prays to the gods for help when we're getting owned by destroyers and a Sylvari is born.
No one knows anything for sure and even if we did it would be a spoiler.

They're alien, ok? Their spaceship crash landed in tyria 1,000 years ago. There're more to them than meets the eye.

Ridiculous question. The game is not released, therefore people don't know. Get the game when it comes, play it, find out.
3 seconds of thought process needed. No point to this thread.

speculation good sir good sir if people didnt speculate in the past we might not have had cars or internet or even electricity!

I belive it was stated in an interview that we would witness the birth of the race "near the end" of GW:EN. What "near the end" means is anyones guess, but I think it is safe to say this is not an ancient race of elves or aliens who crash landed.
Think about it people, in GW:EN we face The Great Destroyer. What is the oposite of destruction? Creation. My bet: the birth of this race is either caused by our defeat of the Destoryers or their birth helps us in the Destroyers defeat. The will be creatures of life and creation to balance out the forces of death and destruction that the Destroyers represent.
And I think they definatly look like Wood Nyphs (sp?) not elves.

haha i was joking, lighten up. If anyone is an alien, I'm looking at the Azura. Their spaceship clash landed in tyria 5,000 years ago, and for some reason they can't stand the heat from tyria's yellow sun, so they went underground. Or they came to Tyria by that stargate thingy. haha

pretty good point.
Still, I never thought the GW world needed a fairy-type race... well. I know which race I will NOT be playing in GW2

It's funny when people say, "They're not elves, they don't have pointy ears!" Before Tolkien came along, the word "elf" was synonymous with "pixie" or "spirit" or even "gremlin."

I know YOU were joking. I just used your post as an example. Using your obviously obserd theory to contrast with the actually theory of elves helps to point out that they are both obserd.
It's a fancy debate tactic that I don't think is actually allowed in formal debates

I'll post my speculation in spoiler tags then since its based off actual in game cinematics.There appears to be a whole thread dedicated to it over on GWO.

I bet their plant part is cannabis.
That would explain the dreamy faces, the greenish appearance and their lack of sadness. They are high 24/7.
Probably they took a bunch of Mursaat or Seers and closed them up in a foggy green room. And they turned into that.

Actually, Gremlins are a product of the second World War and first mentioned in 1942 by Hubert Griffith in the servicemen's fortnightly Royal Air Force Journal. Airmen made up the term "Gremlin" to blame the unseen for sabotaging their airplanes and equipment. Basically, if your airplane broke or something mechanical went wrong, you'd blame it on a Gremlin. The story of the Gremlin sabotaging an airplane was played with in The Twilight Zone's, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and later retold in the Twilight Zone movie. It was also parodied in The Simpson's Halloween story where a gremlin sabotages Bart's schoolbus. The "Gremlins" movie of course depicts them as asian in origin, yet still depicts them as sabotaging bulldozers, wheelchairs, etc. The in-joke is that the only person who actually ever calls them gemlins in the movie is the the old WW2 veteran neighbor. I'd say elves and pixies are more synonomous with goblins than Gremlins since the gremlin concept is too new and doesn't have any old-world folklore roots.

That was also mentioned in Star Trek at some point.
Although I forget which series/movie. Possibly Voyager. mazik

from the GWEN manual:
The battle between the Great Dwarf and the Great Destroyer is fated top play out once again, it seems. The tome does not foretell the entirety of the outcome, not predict a victor. It only mentions that the Dwarves will be "forever transformed" by this final battle
Smells fishy. And yea, for the love of Balthazar, I sure as hell hope not. I mean, they wouldn't... right?

They can do anything they want but... on the other hand, it'd be funny as hell, if you think about it. But, no, it'd be way too strange. totally nonsensical. no way. no.
