Talk:The Searing

Re: deletion[edit]
Not going to die in a ditch over it, but I feel we need a GW2 page for the Searing in order to talk about the way it impacts GW2. The GW1 page is still set during the events of GW1 and talks about Adelbern still being alive. We need a place to collect up the GW2 stuff like the Searing Cauldrons, the Shard of War, et cetera, which wouldn't belong on the GW1 wiki because it's not in GW1. Other opinions welcome. (The factual errors come from a combination of the GW1 article and my transcription of it; feel free to correct.) - DustFormsWords 04:43, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well during the Searing, Adelbern was alive, and his death is related to the Foefire, not the Searing. I don't think we need an article to list the various remnants of the Searing in GW2, though I do see the benefits of it. There's just so little ramifications other than leftovers (the 2 Searing crystals remaining, and the one cauldron, along with a few comments here and there about it) that I don't think an article on it is necessary. But this is my personal opinion. However if this article is kept, it needs a bit of an overhaul. Konig/talk 04:50, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Have fixed the obvious errors you pointed out and made a few other small improvements. It's still inferior to the GW1 article but I'm not enough of a GW lore buff to have a go at fully importing and rewording the GW1 content without introducing further inaccuracies. Nevertheless I feel it is an acceptable stub, and is likely to grow. Other potential areas of expansion with unique GW2 content include the Searing Cauldrons (can't remember what zone you find one in without logging into the game), Durmand Priory expeditions researching pre-Searing Ascalon, the way various factions in GW2 remember and mythologise the Searing (obviously the Charr have a different viewpoint to the Ascalonians, and the Flame Legion have a different viewpoint again), and any other legacies of the event that may have made their way into the new game. - DustFormsWords 05:45, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- If this article is kept, it would need to be inferior to the GW1 article. This article's purpose would primarily be so that people searching "the Searing" on this wiki wouldn't come to an empty page and to redirect them to the GWW article. I made a few minor improvements, just for the hell of it, but it still needs more. The cauldron (singular for what we see, though we're told of multiples) is in Iron Marches, at The Cauldron of Searing PoI (oddly enough, the original name for the cauldron was gw1:Cauldron of Cataclysm - but at that time there was one cauldron total).

- We don't need a huge amount of detail here, for sure, but this is referenced enough, especially through a particular personal story, that I think something should be here. Manifold
