As much curiosity I have for the books, first and foremost I want to see how GW2 looks like. Hopefully the 'information (and screenshots iirc) by the end of 2009' that Regina told us won't be postponed. After that, I'll buy the book. Love reading some lore.

I'd assume each book just covers certain events. Dragonrise will, imo, be about the rise of Orr mostly, unless there is a direct connection between the rising of the dragons. In which it would cover 80+ years. x) But it doesn't mean all three books will cover 80+ years. And who says all books will be under 400 pages?
Well, 250 years between GW1 and GW2 = 80+ years per book for 3 books. So I thought the books were supposed to cover all of that. But then I might have misunderstood.

I don't think it will cover every year. Just the major events such as the rise of the Orrian Dragon *which caused the most known chaos*, the Fall of Ascalon and the Charr's occupation of Ascalon, Joko's attack on Elona, Usoku's actions, and possibly more things we know not.

Makes sense. Might go into the exodus of the Norn and Ebon Vanguard out of the Shiverpeaks a little bit as well (due to the rise of the Drakkar dragon), though I don't know when that's supposed to happen. As well as the rise of the rest of the dragons - there are 7, aren't there?
