Trivia

• On the gravestone is an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life. It was used as the symbol for the Monk in the original Guild Wars and is part of the symbol for the Guardian in Guild Wars 2. Gwen, however, was a Mesmer.
• When the grave is approached, you can hear Gwen's Flute from Guild Wars.
• It was previously stated on Gwen's Grave that she was Logan Thackeray's great-grandmother. The 250-year gap between them however suggested she would be a more distant relative. This discrepancy was addressed by the devs during the lore discrepancies project, and patched on 6/23/15.
