The Origin of Magic: A Thought|||Thanks a lot for compiling all this Gmr; it's truly helpful.|||Always glad to be of assistance.
|||Well, this should be fun, please do not bother with utilizing any of the archives. With the revamp all of the links are broken.Edit: Ah, lovely, this should only take me a few moments. All that is necessary is the removal of forums/ from the links.
Complete.|||I would like to announce that with the efforts of Konig Des Todes on the Druid's Overlook and Durmand Priory forums, he has established archives on each of these, inspired by my own efforts here. We are both currently managing Durmand Priory, GW2Guru's lore forum, and are consistently updating the Durmand Priory Archives as we see discussions of substantial interest blossom forth with the introduction of new information on GW2. However, in an effort to unify the Lore Community further, I have taken the step to establish these Archives as the Lore Community's central archives.
The spoiler tags around the Guru forum's lore archives are not a display of shame, mind you, but to reduce the intimidation of this thread when it is opened, as without spoilers, it's remarkably long.
I would like to thank Konig in his cooperation with myself in attempting to unify the otherwise divided Lore Community, and would like to note that my hesitation in doing this was not due to the current inactivity here, but due to the rate of activity found in the community at large. Had I done this when requested by Konig, I would have been adding in threads every few days or weeks even, as I monitored both forums. (This was prior to the GW2Guru forums.)
Nevertheless, I would like to thank the Lore Community at large for their remarkable if not at times incredible activity, and hope that this will help broaden the awareness of what has been discussed, and encourage further discussion not only in our forums, but in the forums abroad. So, at this, I will rename these to the Central Archives.
