OK...so this is supposed ot be an expansion and we would need to have at least one of the three campaigns Prophecies, Factions or Nightfall in order to play it.
The next supposed unofficial news is that it will be the final chapter of a quadroligy (supposed to be a trilogy right?) ..and it will link up the remaining lose ends of the story line started in Prophecies.
Now as far as prophecies go, yes there are many lose ends still (mursaat & seers or the purpose of the light houses) or some stories that we like to see finished (Ascalon green again or the revenge upon the charr)
Nightfall can have some minor connections too..maybe Menzies and Dhumm hunting links.
But how do you reckon there might be a connection from the factions storyline?
Please speculate, strictly on the basis of lore, on how you think there can be a link of GW:EN with all three previous chapters|||Factions: no idea, there didn't really seem to be any large loose ends to cover there. (Whoever came before the Kurzicks, possibly, origin of Kanaxi possibly, though these aren't huge dangling holes like some parts of prophecies.)
From Nightfall: Maybe something with Palawa Joko, depending on where the map for the chapter is. Possibly, though it seems hard to fit in, is an explanation for what got Varesh worshipping abaddon (Kayet teaching her doesn't seem enough, and leaves open some questions about where/how Kayet got to worshipping abaddon.)
From prophecies: The bettletun watch towers, remaining bloodstone locations (If they were able to get flung into the next expansion area.)|||Shiro will double his steroids now and fight you again.. and lich will be even weaker.|||Eye of the North
North is obvious, it takes place somewhere above Tyria. Eye, however, is something else. Is it possible that GW:EN takes place on the Isle of Janthir?|||Okay, has it been officially confirmed to be called "Eye of the North"? Because the fact that it spells GWEN really makes me think it is a really awful joke people are taking seriously.|||Even if it's isn't actually called "eye of the north", a northern area expansion is one of the best possibilities right now, so there's no reason not to make guesses on it. (Whether this has a purpose in the Lore forum is up for grabs, though it seems o.k.)|||Okay well what we do know is that it is the end of the Prophecies-Factions-Nightfall quadology, and we can reasonably deduce that it will be north. Even the spoof names, like Binky's Arctic Spelling Adventure have hinted "north" as well as hints dropped in-game in a fashion similar to those used to extrapolate the locations of chapters 2 and 3. However, I checked, and Eye of The North is not confirmed. Utopia was also a registered domain name and it was also a false lead dropped by ANet.
The fact that Guild Wars: Eye of the North shortens to GWEN tells me this is a joke someone is taking a bit too seriously. I urge caution here, extreme caution.|||eh the whole thing is shady, but i see no reason NOT to refer to it as such for the purposes of keeping everything straight.|||I think refering it to Chapter 4 is much safer, and is also guaranteed to be correct.|||But everyone loves codenames Quintus!
From now on you shall be codename: ROMAN And I shall be codename: ZARATHUSTRA and Chapter 4 shall be codename: GWEN
im tingling with Tom Clancy like suspense already.
