Guild Wars 2

So I heard that humans and the Tyrian human gods came from another realm or planet or something and I also heard that they came from actual real-life Earth! How exciting is that development? Was the Earth’s apocalypse what they had to escape from?

we only know that they didn’t come from Tyria. We don’t know where they did come from yet. But there are hints that they were escaping (or being rescued from) some kind of disaster.

While I’ve toyed with the idea as a joke, as have others, in the past there is no reason to believe or suspect that humanity came from Earth.

Well I just think it’s like Thor, that there are many realms and one of the realms is the realm of Earth. I think that present day in Guild Wars is actually the future of human existence :O

While that’d be an interesting development I doubt that anet will go such a route. They’ve been downplaying the human race to nth degrees, making them unimportant and their history rather less interesting.

Plus… How’d the gods come about then?

Well during the apocalypse, some humans on Earth became ascended and were given power and responsibility to shepherd some of the humans out of the chaos they created for themselves. They were tasked to give the humans a second chance on a new world so that their legacy may live on in the universe. In time, the humans on Tyria will rediscover their lineage and will be allowed to come back to Earth.

What Earth? The GW2 story was never set on Earth. Earth have North America, Europe, etc.

Well Earth is a world which was the home of the humans and the Tyrian gods before they came to Tyria. They were aliens to the inhabitants of Tyria and they divided and conquered much of Tyria just like they did on Earth. Old habits die hard I guess.

So the human Gods are essentially just the smartest scientists who found a way to teleport the population to an alternate dimension?

And then started behaving as moody as the ancient greek pantheon… yeah I’m not really buying that theroy. It sounds cool, but it doesn’t make to much sense.

I prefer to believe that there is a much more interesting alternative…

The humans came to Tyria from the land of… (No spoilers!)

It had a long and dark history of the people of power inholding information from the eyes of the populace, for they were the worshippers of Abaddon! As the God of Knowledge and Secrets, Abaddon was the patron god of (No spoilers!). It was through his guidance that the rulers of (No spoilers!) bent their people to their will, and it was also because of his guidance that the people went against their masters.

Fed up on their ruler’s constant (No spoilers!) the people of (No spoilers!) started a rebellion! For they believed it was their right to see what exactly the (No spoilers!) would indeed spoil.

Any further information regarding the world of (No spoilers!) now, was forgotten, even by the other gods, leaving Abaddon the only being to remember the world of (No spoilers!) until his death. The only god that knows of (No spoilers!) now is Kormir…

=P
