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.
 * It's in the GW:F preview on GameSpy &mdash; Lunarbunny 10:16, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * 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)

Political Structure
Political structure stuff will have their own articles once the official english names for teh entities are known. -SolaPan 15:44, 25 March 2006 (CST)


 * The English for the Political Commentary needs to be cleaned up a bit, sentences a bit too simple, seems like it was literally translated (from Japanese I assume?). I've started by correcting the spelling of the word "interim" from "intrim" throughout the article.
 * Yeah sorry, my english ability drops when I translate stuff, cuz my mindset would be working in the langulage I'm translating from. -PanSola 17:58, 26 April 2006 (CDT)

Aren't the new "islands" (Emperors Island, Island of Stone, Island of Meditation, Island of the Jade) just different types of Guild Halls you can now get, not really islands you can travel to? If so the line in the article should be removed because it makes it sound like they are actual places. But I'm not sure exactly what the editor meant ... --MasterPatricko 13:20, 1 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Well since there are no explanations for what it's supposed to mean i've removed it as that information is really Guild Hall stuff. --MasterPatricko 14:17, 3 May 2006 (CDT)

Manual
Well I've re-written most of the article with the wording from the Factions Manuscripts. This is all word-for-word from the manual. --MasterPatricko 06:25, 6 May 2006 (CDT)


 * Sorry, my upload didn't go as planned so I'm still working on it. Expect the changes soon. I will replace ALL the text in the International Relationship and the Political Structure with the manual text, seeing as those were just translations from the Japanese anyway. --MasterPatricko 13:11, 6 May 2006 (CDT)
