In Guild Wars 2, the Norn are a playable race known for their towering stature, shamanistic traditions, and fierce independence. Heres a breakdown of their role in the game: Norn Overview Homeland: The snowy regions of the Shiverpeaks, primarily Hoelbrak (their capital city). Culture: Inspired by Norse mythology, Norn value strength, hunting, and personal glory. They revere the Spirits of the Wild (Bear, Raven, Snow Leopard, and Wolf). Appearance: Tall, muscular, with a range of Nordic-inspired tattoos and braided hairstyles. Norn in Gameplay Personal Story: Norn players experience a narrative centered on hunting, rivalries, and the Spirits of the Wild. Early story choices involve avenging a fallen mentor or competing in the Great Hunt. Racial Abilities: - Shapeshifting: Transform into a Spirit animal (Bear, Raven, etc.) for combat. - Summons: Call Norn allies (like a Warband) for assistance. Cities & Zones: - Hoelbrak: A grand mead hall-filled city with lodges for each Spirit. - Wayfarer Foothills, Snowden Drifts: Starter zones with Norn-centric events. Lore & Major Norn Characters Eir Stegalkin: A legendary Norn hunter and member of Destinys Edge (later Dragons Watch). Jora & Svanir: Key figures in Norn history (from GW1s Eye of the North expansion). Braham Eirsson: Eirs son, a major character in the Living World and Icebrood Saga. Themes & Conflicts vs. The Dragon: The Norn fight Jormag, the Elder Dragon of Ice and Persuasion, who corrupts their kin into the Sons of Svanir. Spirits of the Wild: Their faith is tested as Jormag manipulates the Spirits (e.g., Owls death in Path of Fire). Why Play a Norn? Roleplaying: Ideal for hunters, shamans, or warriors seeking glory. Aesthetic: Unique armor/weapon styles (fur, bones, Nordic designs). Story: Explores themes of legacy, nature, and resilience. Trivia Norn can drink any race under the table (lore-friendly!). Their architecture features giant animal skulls and mead halls. In GW1, Norn were more bestial; GW2 refined their culture. If youre playing a Norn, embrace their love for challenges, storytelling, and epic battles! Skål!

Great raids, some bugs

The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
