How it all started
Imagine the real world.

Imagine a great catastrophe that destroyed everything and all records and knowledge. Life would start from scratch, and there would be no was to know what went on before the catastrophe, and records starting from this point on would be the "start of history"

Ok got that? Now back to guild wars.

So imagine a world like tyria, an advanced magical world. In this world were nine individuals, all mortals (similar to kormir). These 9, did something similar to what Lord Odran did, they opened a portal to the mists. The mists at this time were full of divine power (similar to the power kormir was engulfed in after defeating abbadon). Being the first mortals ever to enter the mists the divine power was thrust into them giving them supernatural powers.

These 8 mortals were named: Balthazar, Dwayna, Dhuum, Lyssa and Lyss (twin sisters), Melandru, Balthazar and his half brother Menzies, and one other unnamed person.

When the mists surged through them, all of them were given powers, but some strange things happened. Lyssa and Lyss became one being when empowered with the mists. Menzies, who was the last to enter the mists, did not receive as much power as the others, and so was weaker.

These new beings realized that they had the power to create and flexed their divine muscle to create the ancient dragons (Primordus, etc.) and the Giants. Creating such powerful beings made them weary and they created the Rift in the center of the mists as their home.

While they were resting, two travelers, Grenth and abbadon, stumbled upon the portal to the mists. They entered and were greeted by Dhuum and the unnamed god. Hearing the story of how the mists had granted the gods power, grenth and abbadon decided to kill Dhuum and the unnamed god to release their power back into the mists and claim it themselves. They had come at the perfect time because the gods were still weak, and grenth and abbadon killed the 2 gods and stole their power.

In the mean time, Menzies was living with his half brother in the area Balthazar created, The Fissure of Woe. Menzies became jealous of Balthazar’s power and began to wage war with him (a battle that is still going on today).

Untold amounts of time past, until finally the gods decided that they were strong enough again and created their own world. They put the dragons to sleep, so that they would not interfere, and created Tyria.

Wanting to be thought of as divine, the gods made sure not to tell anyone or thing of the world from which they came, making believe that they were eternal and sovereign

The gods loved their creation so much that they decided to live there (Menzies of coarse was not powerful enough to come) and resided in the city they called Arah. They created Glint and the forgotten to be the caretakers of Tyria.

And you know the rest.
