Sylvari
From Guild Wars Wiki
|
This article or section contains information about a Guild Wars game or feature which is still in development. |
Sylvari are a young race of nature spirits, agile and magically adept, with a connection to plants. On Ventari's Sanctuary, an island in Arbor Bay, is a young seedling planted by Ronan and cared for by Ventari. The island and its inhabitants are taking refuge from violence and wars of the outside world, nurturing the tree in the peace and shelter of friendship. This seedling plays a key role in the birth of the Sylvari.
Concept art depicts a Sylvari female as a slim humanoid with leaflike hair, soft facial features and swirling tattoos.

[edit] Notes
- "Sylvari" is used in the plural, possessive and singular forms.
- Silva is Latin for forest
- The Sylvari are one of the playable races for Guild Wars 2.
- In The Movement of the World article, it reads "...she knows a great deal more..." which could possibly mean that all Sylvari are female, but it is not certain.
[edit] Trivia
- The concept for the Sylvari probably evolved from the "Sidhe", which is the name of a race that was intended to be in Utopia. Concept art for the Sidhe can be found here, here and here.
