Talk:Tome of the Rubicon
Some thing that's been bugging me, at the end of the one Sorrow's Furnace quest with the high priest, isn't the Tome basically buried underneath all that rubble? If so, then just who exactly dug it up and utttered the name of the Great Destroyer? Things like this really made me wish Guild Wars had a more coherent storyline that tied up most of it's loose ends. 24.0.66.172 20:20, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Trivia - "Crossing the Rubicon"[edit]
Antique Roman law prohibited any roman legion from crossing this river, which marked the boundary between the northern province of Cisalpine Gaul (nowadays northern Italy) and the "heart" of Italia: The Italian peninsula was regarded a part of Rome and off limits to troops, preventing military thread to the people and the senat of Rome. In 49 B.C., Julius Caesar crossed this border with his legions to gain political control over Rome, triggering the Great Roman Civil War (49–45 BC) and finally becoming Dictator Perpetuo[1]. He is credited with having spoken his famous phrase "alea iacta est" (meaning 'the die has been cast' and NOT 'the die have fallen') while doing the crossing, well aware that this was a irreversible "point of no return" for him.

- Well if you could find out the name with the help of other items, i doubt the stone summit would've wanted this book as much as they did...Super Range Ranger 11:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- I hope we can read the Tome of Rubicon in GW2. Or the other ancient texts. Because, honestly, I want to know what the GD's name is - both of the GDs (Great Dwarf and Great Destroyer). -- Konig/talk 19:47, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- Since the Great Destroyer was really just a servant of an ancient dragon, I think the name in the book is actually that of the dragon, Primordus. Ramei Arashi 15:54, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- Linsey stated that the Great Destroyer we fought was the one mentioned in the tome. As such, it would have to be the GD's name in the Tome. -- Konig/talk 16:28, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
- But the true Great Destroyer isn't the creature called The Great Destroyer, the true great destroyer is the dragon. Ramei Arashi 01:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

- ... You should look here. Specifically: "You do fight the Great Destroyer but the idea is that it is just the least of your worries, which I think we communicated fairly well. This is a foreshadowing of what is to come in GW2. Linsey Murdock 17:39, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[coped from this page.]" -- Konig/talk 02:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Why's the Great Destroyer up anyway?[edit]
Ideas: Dwarf translates text, mutters name by accident in translation. Dwarf translates text, and that is somehow interpreted as speaking it. Knowing the name will gradually awaken the Great Destroyer. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.144.81.209 (talk) at 23:51, 25 April 2015 (UTC).
