Tyria

Tyria the World
Tyria is the world in which most of the game of Guild Wars is played. It contains two known continents: Tyria, and Cantha. In addition, it contains a set of Islands known as Battle Isles somewhere between those two continents.

Legend has it that Tyria was the first created world and that after the Exodus, the Gods went on to create other worlds.

Tyria the 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.

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