It’s day four of Norn Week and earlier today ArenaNet gave the official norn page a well-deserved facelift! From the site:
Norn Week continues! We’ve updated our norn page with new wallpapers, expanded lore, and a brand new video featuring the Shiverpeaks, hunting grounds of the norn. Learn more about these shapechanging barbarians who prize glory and valor above all on our updated Guild Wars 2 norn page!

Also, our lovely Rubi from Massively.com seems to have gotten her hands on an interesting interview with Bobby Stein, Eric Flannum, Ree Soesbee, and Jeff Grubb about the norn. Wow, what a line-up! Here’s an excerpt:
Massively: Why should a Guild Wars 2 player pick a Norn character? In game terms, what distinguishes the Norn from Humans and other playable races in the game?
Eric Flannum: A player should pick a Norn if they want to play a larger-than-life character. Norn do everything to extremes, and they live life to its fullest. To a Norn, the journey is more important than the destination, and one should always live in the moment. In game terms, Norn players will have access to skills that draw upon their reverence for the spirits of the wild. This means that Norn will be able to call upon the spirits and take bear, raven, snow leopard, and wolf form. Beyond taking animal form, the Norn can use their affinity with nature in smaller ways as well. For example, a Norn can call upon the wurm spirit to summon a temporary pet wurm.
