    GW2 sure does stink like Drakkar Noir PS - that's a joke .... or is it?

    Wow. I've been pretty disconnected from the game lately, but Drakkar is a bit of Guild Wars 1 nostalgia that actually clicks with me.

    The whole Drakkar Lake/Nornbear lore was one of the more fascinating/dark bits of ingame lore in Eye of the North, and an old favorite map of mine.


    Also, I hope they carry over the Monty Python rabbit reference in the GW2 version of the map. Would be a great throwback.

    I always thought Drakkar was a dragon though.  I guess he's not?

    He's a dragon champion (the first dragon champion to ever be shown, if memory serves) that was frozen beneath drakkar lake. He is responsible for removing Jora's powers and turning Svanir into the Nornbear.

    I think The Great Destroyer would considered the second after Drakkar.

    Agreed. Though it is a matter of player perspective. Drakkar comes first, but you do need to actively try to get a close look at him.

    Also, not sure if the Nornbear himself counts as one. The wiki says yes. That could change the appearance order (and it would make the Nornbear the first).

    Oh, how could I forget Glint. She definitely comes first, but it's hard to think of her as one seeing as how she is independent and allied.
