Its probably best to look on the other pic as i think mines a bit less quality but i can see a face,it has a clear mouth and eye section with brows is obvious

I don't see what you see....But, It does look to me like in the bottom right hand corner of the picture.. there is a Destroyer looking creature there..it doesn't look like all the other rocks...and it looks like it has spines on it's back and arms and legs...maybe I'm just nuts too?

I have no idea how to copy pictures and ummm circle stuff...cuz I r noob...LMAO

- the Statue begins to crack up..earth starts shaking..first weak..then strogner and stronger until more parts of the statue crack up and we see Primordus closed eyes, which then will open up slowly, just to open up then far more as the dragon realizes, that he has awakened.
- Once Primordus realizes the fact that he is back in life, he crushes all the rest of his petrificated body to free himself spreading his huge wings to enjoy his freedom with a mighty long loud roar.

Scene changes to the outside of the chamber...a place full of mountains.

- We will see after some seconds, after the camera has fixed itself to a point of one mountain, how a huge flaming sign will burn itself into the mountain from the inside, that becomes hotter and hotter until it melts the earth to lava and then Primordus shoots in a very quick rush from the inside of the mountain, pierces through his fire magic weakened spot of the mountain to the outside, where he will roar high up in the sky again, before he flies with some mighty wing slaps high into the clouds.

- we follow now some seconds, how Primordus flies through the clouds, breathing the fresh air and seeing how he's testing his abilities, if hes still so strong as before, or if the long sleep has weakened him...
so primordus prepares a big fireball just to shoot it at the first village he sees to wipe it completely out !!! a huge black fireball, whichs fire burns for 7 days and 7 nights
Proud of seeing, that he is now even stronger than before, that the long sleep has empowered him, he then flyes further to the direction of Tyria....to the lake where Drakkar lies near the town of the Norns

This is'nt Wrath of the Lich King.

OnTopic: I dunno about the rest but I fear drakkar the most out of all the visible dragons. I remember when I first saw that Dragon beneath the ice, I almost s**t my primeval greaves.

I never knew what was beneath that ice before, cause I only ever casually looked at it. Grothmar may be ginourmous, but how badass do you have to be to get yourself frozen in a lake

Well you need to think about something ..... concept arts are from GW2 and can be ANY place. Saying "no its not that because bla bla bla" doesnt matter , GW2 =\= GW1 . They can make it a norn outpost or a high end dungeon .... till we see some ig videos or caps its as pointless as saying X concept art IS this as saying it is not because an opinion based on how GW1 is .

There's nothing about him saying that.
We're talking about shading here. Shadows, lines etc.

The human brain can see things that are not there.
Project images on lining they can connect to something they know.
Heck, the rock at the bottom of the tower looks like a dog/wolf/bear, but thats it.
Silly rock formations and crude drawings can spring up your imagination.

A good example would be:
Scribble on a piece of paper with your eyes closed. Scribble like a madman!
Open your eyes and make some lines thicker to get "creatures" out of it.
Thats basically how some artists make up monsters. They doodle and scribble.

But thats off-topic..
tl;dr: The creatures you see in these rocks are all illusions.

Same here. Been going to bed around 3am for weeks because I can't sleep.
Reminds me, time to get a cold drink to cool my temperature down..

Talk is mostly about concept art, since Anet hasn't fed us after that.

I think that monsterous hole everyone is seeing stuff in is *speculation* the tunnel created from when (if) Primordius blew out of the CTC?

But then, why the hell would people be standing on there with (possible) umbrellas? 'Cause im pretty sure where Primordius escaped from there was bound to be an army of destroyers to follow, which leads to a follow-up theory.

Maybe all the stuff I just said is right, primordius escaped from there, destroyers followed and they overran the norn Territory from that point (id does look snowy). However, is'nt the CTC around the southern shiverpeaks? If so, it would pretty much say no to all what I speculated.

Basically, I specuate that at the bottom of that hole lies the CTC.

I think you quoted the wrong post. I'm sure you meant to quote my post on how the most recent concept art isn't the Iron Citadel based on the area? There would still be ruins there if it was the Iron Citadel. As for the portion you quoted, I never mentioned location, just that there isn't a giant man with a spear and an even bigger shield carved into the rock - it's just the shadowing...

The Movement of the World states that Primordus remains underground. Not in the same spot, but underground.

C'mon, I can find faces on my carpet which is just plain gray. Or on my bag of chips.
There's no conspiracy. It's all in the head and I gave my explanation on the previous page already. There's nothing hidden, just illusions of the mind trying to make images out of the slightest familiar pattern.

The same would apply to mirroring an image, many samples can be found in the Jade Sea.

Anyway back to the dragons. Cuz at the first trailer of the original gw (like ages ago) we also see a dragon rise from a castle. But what is known about this dragon and what was his story in the years of GW so far?

It's where Rin was. There was no pit in the time of Rin; however, this is in the future from GW1, right? (rhetorical)

You don't dig a pit on the spot you want to build. You dig it near it and transport the material to the actual building site. We only see part of the structure and not the full picture (whatever more is to the right side of this structure is anyone's guess)...so who's to say if there is or isn't a citadel not shown?

The Iron Citadel was built "upon the ruins of Rin". Where's it say that you have to see the ruins? How many of today's cities and structures are on ruins we can't see?

Hey, it was a guess...at least I'm not seeing faces, etc.

It's implied it's Rotscale, since he had a story in beta iirc.

If there's one thing the History channel has taught me, it's that we have a ton of underground cities.

Though for Ascalon only the catacombs would fit that bill. Maybe the destruction caused by Adelberns swordbeam spam.

Now as for the hole, I'm turning on speculation mode.

What we can see in this image is:
- A large hole
- Magma at it's bottom
- A structure build alongside of it, though it does not reach the bottom.
- White on the rocks. Can be implied to be snow/ice.
- Above the hole in the distance, it's all flat.
No mountains, no ruins etc. You can make out some green (Photoshop confirms) and rivers.

*Slams desk*
I suspect this is *somewhere* in the Shiverpeaks where it has an outlook over Kryta/Maguuma. In the distance are rivers/lakes and forest/jungle.
The hole was not made by intelligent creatures. This hole is even bigger than a crater that the Searing would make (Human - Hole size ratio). If the Charr *did* make it, they'd have to use magic more powerful than the Searing and force it in one location to burst open a hole going down deep enough to, what I dub, "The Heart of the World"™, aka very damn deep into the earth to imagine it's the core.
It cannot be determined what the purpose of the structure itself is, nor who made it.
All we can see is that it watches over this hole that leads to the depths of the earth.
I speculate it's a watchpoint for Destroyer activity, as it would be one of (many?) points where Destroyers could reach the surface.

Arenanet, give me your best shot!
