Guild Wars 2 will feature new playable races, and the Eye of the North expansion introduces two of these races as NPCs - the Asura and the Norn. Players who bought the pre-release pack were able to play Eye of the North over the Sneak Peek weekend, as a final test before the expansion went live. The only Primary Quests you could undertake during the Sneak Peek weekend were those of the Norn.
