First Guild Wars novel: The Ghosts of Ascalon
There’s some more expansion of the Guild Wars storyline with the news that a new novel, linking Guild Wars with Guild Wars 2, is due to be published. The Ghosts of Ascalon is written by Matt Forbeck and Jeff Grubb, and aims to set the stage for the storyline of Guild Wars 2.
Desperate to defend his land from advancing hordes of bestial charr, King Adelbern summoned the all-powerful Foefire to repel the invaders. But magic can be a double-edged sword—the Foefire burned both charr and human alike. While the charr corpses smoldered, the slain Ascalonians rose again, transformed by their king’s rage into ghostly protectors and charged with guarding the realm—forever. The once mighty kingdom became a haunted shadow of its former glory.
The novel looks like it’ll be a great read, not just for Guild Wars players. Scheduled for release in Summer 2010, the events are set a year before Guild Wars 2 and is just the first of a number of planned novels that will expand the already rich Guild Wars storyline.
