Talk:Cantha

Nation vs Continent
I do not think there is much point in separating the "nation" from the "continent". Surely the Cantha specified by the Canthan Ambassador refers solely to the Sea of Sorrows. This is part of the continent of Cantha. However I do not see an implication that there is a nation called Cantha within the continent of Cantha. Kidburla 10:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * According to the information available at this time, there's a contintent called Cantha that is home to three nations: Cantha, Kurzick and Luxon. --Si Tacuisses 10:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Cantha is the continent AND a nation on the continent. I only just read this:
 * Cantha is a land forever divided between three nations -- two of which, (the titular factions) -- have sworn eternal enmity toward one another. The first nation, also called Cantha, is a cosmopolitan land of merchants and traders led by a hereditary emperor.

 * What Lunarbunny said. The article is clear about it. The separation into Cantha (Continent) and Cantha (Nation) does make sense. Having said that, I wish ANet would have avoided this double meaning, because this will likely cause some confusion in future. :/ -- 10:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, that's fine now. I wish they wouldn't keep doing this. There are now TWO things called Cantha, TWO things called Tyria, and THREE things called The Underworld. It just gets ridiculously confusing. Also when you ask someone if they want to do Tombs and you mean Ruins and they think you mean what is now called Heroes Ascent...

Commentary
"While the northern powers fear the influence of powerful guilds, Cantha recognizes the value that many guilds bring to Tyria."

Considering Cantha is not part of Tyria, of course THEY got nothing to fear from guilds getting powerful. War on other ppl's soil can greatly help your economy/industry. I mean, look at how USA got out of the Great Depression. d-: -PanSola 05:27, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * A quote from Gaile "Tyria is both the name of the Continent and the World", so we have no way of telling which he was referring to. --FireFox 00:15, 14 February 2006 (CST)
