Tyria (world)
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Tyria is the name of the world. It is unknown how large the world is, but there are currently three known continents on Tyria: Tyria (which shares the name of the world), Cantha, and Elona. Tyria is home to a vast variety of lifeforms, ranging from humans to charr, tengu, wurms, and sylvari. There are many races in the world of Tyria, many known, and many more unknown. While it has been believed that Tyria was the first planet created, it is now known that it is in fact not, though how many planets predate Tyria in the multiverse is unknown.
Tyria is known to be over 11,000 years old, which is the last known occurrence of the Giganticus Lupicus and the Elder Dragons before their hibernation, though these creatures are only known to have inhabited the northern continents of Tyria and Elona. For unknown reasons, there is a 7,000 year gap in the timeline. All that is known is that during this time, the dwarves, mursaat, and seers prospered, the Tome of Rubicon was written, and the mursaat and the seers warred with each other during the period before the gods brought humanity to Tyria.
