Tyria (continent)

The Tyrian continent is the location where most of the Prophecies Campaign took place. The earliest known intelligent life began on Tyria 3000 years ago, though there are signs of creatures estimated to be from roughly ten thousand years ago. It is also known that the Gods of Tyria used to live in Tyria (in the present-day ruins of Orr) for some time prior to the Exodus. The official calendar in Tyria is the Mouvelian Calendar. Tyrians use writing systems that differ from known languages, and thus the actual signs on roads cannot be read (thankfully, the user's language is used to help with directions).

Tyria contains many Regions that vary greatly in geography, fauna and flora, and civilization.

Tyria has seven regions, six of which can be explored:
 * 1) Ascalon.
 * 2) The Shiverpeaks, which are often divided into northern and southern regions, and contains Sorrow's Furnace.
 * 3) Kryta.
 * 4) The Maguuma Jungle.
 * 5) The Crystal Desert, which contains access to the Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings.
 * 6) The Ring of Fire Islands.
 * 7) The shattered peninsula of Orr, which cannot be accessed.
