Talk:Malomedies

Canon vs story telling

I'm not sure if we are treating stories such as Dream and Nightmare as canon. If we are, then Riannoc had already met another race, leaving Malomedies to simply be the first to meet the asura.

Also, have we found out the order of the firstborn? 154.20.120.2 03:03, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

The pre-release short stories were, according to Mr. Sparkles, A Tale of the Asura, "concept stories" written to explore how the races of Tyria would talk and interact with one another. So I think we should accept them as canon, with the caveat that we throw out anything that contradicts stuff that happens in-game (so semi-canon, I guess). I don't know if we know the order of the firstborn, I saw someone on the forum mention that it's established early in one of the sylvari storylines that Trahearne was the first of all of them to emerge, and he came 13 hours before the rest of them, but I haven't checked that myself. Other than that, I don't think we do. –Santax (talk · contribs) 20:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)

"thus being the 5th oldest sylvari". From where does that statement come? Is it just speculation based upon that he was the "second one to awaken during the Cycle of Night" - while presuming the births of both dawn, noon and dusk went before night? 'Cause that's what I'd call Sylvari-cycle rasicm ;P.

However, I think it would be safe to conclude Trahearne woke during Night (18:00-24:00). Seeing as we've been told that all the other Luminaries, except Malomedies, are the first of their cycles. And since he's been said to be born 13 hours before the rest, the second to awake would be born somewhere between 07:00 and 13:00 - in all likelyhood Niamh (Cycle of Noon 06:00-12:00). Am I right, and should we include this info on Trahearne and Niamh's articles? Titus The Third 17:27, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

"Sylvari-cycle rasicm" You're a cyclist! Wait... I think that term's already taken... —Dr Ishmael 17:28, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Haha :D I don't mind. Let's just take it, and make it our own! xD Titus The Third 21:39, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
