I love this stuff.
I used to TL;DR, but then I took a bullet point to the footnote.
Love it! Looking forward for more lore. You can't get enough of it :P

Daum, why can't we have them as a playable race instead of the vegetable people...
I really hope they get added as a playable race sometime in the future.
LOL their not vegitable people, their more like tropical floral looking druids than a vagitable.
Well, i was reading the lore. then i saw what your wrote. It says they are legends. So if we were to have that race then that lore they just gave us would not be true anymore. Thats what i think.
And Lawlzz to what you said, the vegtable people...
They're legends to the southern races at the beginning of gw2, but obviously exist in the game, otherwise they wouldn't have this amount of detail on them
It's like the margonites in nightfall. They were just legends until they were summoned
That's a good read. Like the direction they've taken with the Kodan culture.

Well, you see them in the teaser trailer...
We'll probably see/hear more of the plant ppl (lol) when their intro cinematic is revealed
The Kodan look like they and the Norn will have some interesting discussion, ahead!

Hmm, I'm wondering what part the Kodan will play in the game...friend or foe. Would be kinda cool to see them as a race in a future expansion.
I doubt they will be playable in the future. They don't seem to bring enough variety to the table. They seem like hulking brutes. Which we have two of those races already, charr and norn. Tengu on the other hand, could bring alot. Very tribal much like the native americans and samurai.
A lot of the races are situationally grey: ie sometimes friend and sometimes foe. They likely work out that the Norn have to gain the respect of the Kodan (foe) before they can further learn more about them and maybe help them (friend)?

ok .. first there is the furrballs, then small emo rodents, then vegetable people and now white hippie smokies...
god, im going norn all the way !
The Kodan strictly adhere to their culture, it wouldn't make sense to have random Kodan running around adventuring as that doesn't seem to be something any of them do.
^This. +1 internetz for you for being a fellow tengu fan.
I am also holding onto hope for the tengu to be playable (also the centaur and the forgotten) maybe in an DLC/ex-pac/campaign.
You say that now, just wait till they show the leopard totem form and the furries jump all over the norn.
While they may currently adhere to their culture, whats to say something in the future won't disrupt their culture and force them to become an active part of the movement of the world? (e.g. an expansion that pits us against Jormag after fighting Zhaitan in the main campaign)
How are the asura emo?
I doubt we will ever see the kodan as a playable race, the tengu on the other hand...
Well since my argument is their culture is unsuitable as a playable race then obviously if hypothetically their culture was no longer adhered to then sure. However for the time being it just doesn't make sense. Tengu would be my next guess/hope for a playable race in a future expansion.
Great lore, love it.
They have obviously been hit by the Elder dragons too so there's a common ground for us to have them as friendly NPC's, playable race maybe in a future expansion but I too would rather play a Tengu.
Exploring the realm of the Kodan sounds sweet, massive floating citadels in a frozen sea, could be we may discover them earlier, we are going to have lots of underwater stuff in GW2 so underwater exploration leading far in to the frozen seas of the north all ties in quite nicely, I can but hope
Ah, when something new showed up on guildwars2.com I was hoping it was the new profession but no. I don't mind lore but they never give you a hint when these surprises come out.

Long ago, Koda, the Ancient One, Founder of the Earth, Keeper of the Sky, formed the world. In the beginning, the spirits of the world were wild and untamed. In time, many took physical form: spirits of stone, spirits of water, spirits of wind, spirits of soil, spirits of plants and birds and creeping things. All things with form have spirits… as do many formless things.
In some expansion new class=druid

I don't trust a race that thinks it has the divine right to judge the other races. I think they're a threat.
