Every race in Guild Wars 2 started with a simplified description—a way to describe the essence of the people in a sentence or less. The sylvari description was pared down to just three words: noble, beautiful, plant. In the past, our design iterations would always lean towards one or two of these descriptors, but in the end we really wanted to have a race that would represent all three characteristics clearly.

I really dig the look. At first I thought the Sylvari were going to be the stereotypical elven race. I'm glad they went with a more organic design.
My first character is still going to be a Norn, though! :)
