Protector of the Forests

The Story Continues...


The sylvari stood as strong as a redwood; unmovable, unshakable, peering upon


The young sylvari had not always been this way. Born from the Pale almost ten years ago, Tomalmir Oorwedd wandered from his origin. He sought after the meaning of life, what the world outside of The Grove had in store. He hated what he saw; slavery, war, injustice. A burning desire ran through his golden blood to protect the innocence of his race.


The undead continued to attack the children of the towering Pale Tree. By the time Tomalmir had been awakened for five years, he had buried over five hundred skulls.


A turning point for Tomalmir's destiny came when a undead wave entered the Grove and slaughtered two of his closest relatives. His younger brother Remmoy, of the same branch, didn't stand a chance as the undead tore the leaves and bark to the core. He was never found. Tomalmir swore from that day forward to protect those living at the Grove, regardless that his nature encouraged and teased him to adventure the land.


From there sprouted the guardian within him. With the commitment he was blessed with special abilities to allow him to protect the yet-to-awaken sylvari.


As he ventured the Grove and continued to slay undead, he one day came across a human named Julius whom had been badly injured. An incredibly interesting being, Tomalmir nursed Julius' wound back to health.


Julius told Tomalmir the mysteries of the world. It gave Tomalmir a release of the urge to adventure and it wasn't long before the two became close friends.


Soon after, Julius founded the Forest Keeper. It was a small group of beings dedicated to studying and caring for the Grove.


Tomalmir looked at the pathetic human that stood trembling before him. What he had witnessed was treacherous. The world his people had awoken into was tainted and it needed cleansing.


He stepped forward and saw his target's eye widen with what appeared to be horror.


"What do you call yourself, creature?" queried Tomalmir, taking another step forward.

The Blog




The play style of the Guardian in Guild Wars 2 is very appealing to me. I love to play with my friends and as a part of a team. The Guardian screams out support, which was the one thing that put the icing on the cake when choosing a profession to play.


Over the coming posts, I'll be covering the different skills and abilities available to the Guardian. Also covered will be where, when and how each can or will be used, along with the benefits and the conflicts.


Of course, because of the way the skills function, we'll also take a peek into the different options that become available through your choice of weapon.


I really look forward to researching and showing you all the Guardian profession has to offer. The functionality and dynamics of the class are unique and have so much to offer.


Keep it geeky!
