Human

One of the most widespread and influential species in Tyria. They are unique in that they can have two professions, whereas it seems other species cannot.

Humans first appeared in Tyria nearly 1300 years ago (the year 205 BE in the Mouvelian Calendar). Prior to their arrival, Tyria had been in balance under the control of a powerful serpent race. Humans quickly rose to prominance and the serpent race withdrew into the Crystal Desert and is now only known as the Forgotten Ones.

Humans formed three powerful kingdoms: Ascalon (founded 100 BE), Orr (founded 2 AE) and Kryta (founded 300 AE). Unfortunately, their history has always been marred by conflict and struggle for dominance. Most recently, this was manifest by the Guild Wars which lasted for over 50 years and ended only due to the terrible threat of the Charr invasion.
