Forgotten



The Forgotten Ones are a race of serpent creatures that supervised and maintained all of Tyria nearly 2,600 years from the present day in the game. Unlike regular serpents, they stood upright, used language and had an elaborate culture.

The Forgotten Ones were brought to Tyria by the Gods around the year 1769 BE. They were to be the custodians, who instructed and guided other races in the formative period of the history of Tyria and maintained balance between all races. They were the keepers of knowledge and the teachers of all things.

With the arrival of humans in Tyria in 205 BE, the role of the Forgotten Ones quickly became diminished as the humans mastered many skill and acquired much knowledge and irreverisbly broke the balance maintained for over a millennia. The Forgotten Ones quietly withdrew into the Crystal Desert where humans never succeded in establishing a civilization and slowly became a myth in the history of humankind.

The Forgotten Ones can be encountered as foes through out all the missions of Ascension and the Dragon's Lair. They are also encountered as NPCs that provide valuable experience in quests such as The Forgotten Ones and Forgotten Wisdom.

The Forgotten Ones encountered in the game only have spell-caster professions (Arcanists, Cursebearers, Illusionists) and they employ the magically animated Enchanted as their warriors and rangers.
