If you are stuck on what race to choose I'll give you a little lore so you can pick a little easier.

Warning: Giant wall of text. if you want 1 race then read that race.

Human: Humans are originally from another planet. The (original) six gods (Balthazar, Dwayna - Leader of the gods, Lyssa, Melandru, Grenth and Abbadon) put the humans onto Tyria. They originated from Orr to begin with and spilt into 3 independent(?) countrys.

A time before the Guild wars happened the god Abbadon became insane and began to take all the water out of the Crystal desert, the other 5 gods imprisoned him in the Realm of torment, anyway back to the guild wars.

You had

Ascalon
Kryta
Orr

In the following years as what would become to known as "The Guild Wars" the 3 kingdoms fought each other for retarded reasons of DERP LAND DERP KILL. They only stopped fighting when the Charr launched a massive 3 pronged attack.

The Krytans defeated the Charr right out
The Ascalonians built a gigantic wall around the entire kingdom, and then got blown the shit up
Orr got blown the shit up.

Because Orr was the first kingdom of the Humans they had many powerful artifacts to the gods. In the original game a single person began to read one of the forbidden texts and the entire city was exploded in a gigantic fireball, rather then let the Charr (The natives of the world!) set foot on "Holy ground"

So Orr sank to the bottom of the ocean taking a giant landmass with it.

The Ascalonians had something called the "Searing" happen. Bassicly the Charr built a device powered by the "Titans" that rained giant fireballs and death from the sky, It decimated the wall and all of ascalon.

Fastforward 5 years you had the realm of Cantha appear south of the world, young heroes traveled there to solve the problem of Shiro Tacaghi. it was pretty boring.

And you also had Elona, land of the golden sun. Elona had a huge problem in the years before were a great undead lord called Palwala Joko raised up an army to defeat the forces of Elona (Vabbi, Kourna and the Sunspears) a great commander rose from Kourna called Turia Ossa who struck down this undead lord and imprionsed him.

after some years the lord Abbadon began to push his realm of torment into the real world. Heroes were forced to travel north and fight back this evil by going into the Realm of torment itself. There they had to fight a GOD face on and kill him. It was here that the slut Koromir who did NOTHING all game just walked the fuck in and took all his power and became the Godess of truth. Thus, five gods were once again Six.

Fastforwad 7 years, You had eye of the north. There you met people who went north into Charr lands to kill the charr outright, and did so sucsessfully. They were eventually called back and made the fortress "Ebonhawke" in Charr territory that still stands in GW2.

Fastforwad again some 20-30 years later, the mad crazy bat shit insane King Adelbern knew he could no longer win against the Charr and made his sword (Foefire) blow up most of ascalon city, turning every human into vengeful ghosts.


Now we fastforward for the last time, 250 years into the future. With the Orr and Ascalonians now dead all that reamins of the Humans is Kryta. When the great sundering happened (Dragons)the undead dragon Zhaitan made Orr rise from the bottom of the ocean, causing massive tidal waves flooding much of the ring of fire, the battle isles and all of Lions arch, Kryta's capital also, the dragon cut off ties to Cantha via it's undead legion of boats and pirates.

Human were forced to retreat north and found Divinity's reach in the lands of Shaemoor.

Human gameplay is: About "Justice", honor and the six gods


Norn: Originally from the far shiverpeaks of the north the Norn are quite literally, giant humans.

They revere the spirits of the wilds as the gods.

The 4 major spirits are:
Bear
Wolf
Raven
Snow Lepoard(?)

As the great sundering happened the mighty ice dragon Jormag arrose from the icy mountains in the north. The Norn fought very bravely against Jormag and are to date, the only race that has physically harmed a dragon by removing one of it's teeth.(It's about 5x the size of norn at max height)

As the dragons onslaught grew worse and worse the Spirits devised a plan. The lesser spirits - Owl, Wolverine, Ox and Eagle stayed behind to fight Jormag while the Norn retreated south. In this battle Owl was out right killed by Jormag and the other 3 are currently unknown as there has not been a disciple powerful enough to communicate with any of these spirits in years.

After the Norn arived south they founded Hoelbrak and put the Dragons tooth on display in the main hall.

Norn gameplay is cenetred around. Hunting, pure strength, ale!, Brawls and the Spirits

Asura: In the original game Asura were underground midgets that thought they were better then everyone. It hasn't changed!

Asuran belive in something called "The Eternal alchemy" were everything has a point and a purpose to something greater. They live to find out the mystery of The eternal alchemy.

During the period of the first game the Asura lived very close to something called "The Central transfer chamber" were a great deal of a energy poured out from a statue. Eventually something called "The Great destroyer" rose up out of the ground and began making an army rightly called "The Destroyers" who dedicated they're time to fucking everyones shit up. They pushed the Asura out of the tunnels they had all built underground and topside.

Eventually, the Dwarves stepped in preaching some batshit insane prophecy about how the Great dwarf had once destroyed this person and it was the dwarves destiny to turn into stone (Literally) and chase the destroyers into the depths of the world. Few dwarves stayed behind and all of the ones that went chased the destroyed into the Central transfer chamber to kill the Great destroyer (With the help of the Asura and humans, of course).

After the battle was finished the Camera said the greatest threat Tyria had ever faced was over. But more is to come.

And then the camera panned up. The Central transfer chamber had a giant fucking statue of a dragon in it. But guess what LOL IT WAS A DRAGON XD TWIST!!!!!!

Fastforward 250 years the Asura now make Rata sum, a giant rubix cube that floats into the home for them.

If you want to play Asura here's what to expect: Cockiness of the highest form, Elitisim, the best animations in the game, hilarious dialogue and TECHNOLOGY

Sylvari: Plant people that came from this Centaurs seed or some shit. They glow in the dark and are pretty gay.

Sylvari - You are a flower that glows in the dark. You are also gay as the Sylvari have sex with everyone/thing - Not joking. (I don't know enough about them to write anything.)

Charr: Charr have a very complicated history. They were once the dominate race on Tyria and wish to reclaim the land the Humans took from them.

The Charr fought against all 3 human countrys and eventually, Ascalon was the home they took back.

In the original game the charr were pure evil. They were lead by the Flame Legion who are bassicly Titan worshipping douchebags who want to enslave everyone and everything with the power of the Titans. At the climax of the eye of the north the Charr rose up against the Flame legion and culled many of the leaders and outcast the rest. The charr were no longer under the chains of opression.

In guild wars 2 - Easily the race that has undergone the biggest change since number 1. They took over all of Ascalon and built a gigantic city made out of metal and whatever else they could find. They are a very "Steampunk" civilization and are really quite cool race to play.

You have 3 "Legions" to choose from
Ash (Sneaky)
Blood (Warrior headline combat)
Iron (Engineering)

They currently all have the very unique story line and are very cool to play. They are currently at the forefront of taking Tyria into the industrial age and have many ressemblences to romans.

Females are also avaliable to play as Charr as they opression against females (Bassicly, they all got put into camps and were used as baby makers) ended and are now playable. They all stand on theyre hind legs and run on all fours

To sum up the Charr: Only the strongest survive, Hate worshipping gods, hate the Flame legion, love Engineering and war, are beastly in appearnce and run on all fours.


I'll most likely add to this list as and when I can be bothered. Sorry for the wall of text and yes I'm aware there is a big gap of knowledge from where

Humans got put onto earth.
Founded Orr
Split off

How did humans get to Elona/Cantha

Sounds like sylvarri are gay and one who plays sylvarri should feel gay.
