I love lace runners doilies ! I currently have a set my great grandmother made on my dresser side tables . Several friends relatives have complimented them asked where I bought them from . <| sep |> sylvari and literally their whole race was in discussionBut the Sylvari didn ' t change in their core concept , atleast the ones that weren ' t corrupted . ArenaNet still respected the not corrupted Sylvari with all their previous traits , albeit probably a little sad and nervous since you know , Mordremoth . The Norn have , atleast in my opinion , always gotten the shortest end of the stick when it comes to development as a race in GW 2 , which I think also really plays into whats going on right now . Anet seemingly not respecting the little lore already established . All in all , the memorial wasn ' t sad . It just wasn ' t a happy thing . Sure , it wasn ' t . But it should ' ve been more celebratory . Direct quote from the wikithe norn do not fear death as they believe the bold and strong can achieve immortality , but they do fear they will be weak and end up forgotten . As a result each norn seeks to prove themselves , to build their legend through feats of individual valor and great victories . Every norn hopes their legend will be told by the skaald and celebrated at a moot with story and song . While there was story sharing , there was no song . And Eir certainly was a well known and loved Norn . Don ' t get me wrong , I loved the memorial when i was playing through it . But afterwards I did also feel it was more a human remembrance than Norn . I think norn in general , are supposed to be bold , direct which they are . They are not good plan makers , they are good action makers While this is true in alot of cases , there are ofcourse always exceptions . The ship is a marvel of engineering , incorporating elements of asura , charr , human , sylvari , and even norn design . As I said , the limited lore available on Norn makes it really tough to make good judgements on how Norn behave .
