Guild Wars 2

The royal tombs are called Azabe Qabar, but I dont think it is the name of the family, is there any mention of the Orrian royal family name anywhere in either the game, the books or the movement of the world?

The only royal surname we have confirmed is Thorn. Though that bloodline is said to have been wiped out with Oswald Thorn aka Mad King Thorn. And that was Krytan at that.

To be honest, I don’t think Tyrian human royalty have surnames. We’ve so far encountered or heard mentioned twelve members of the various royal families (Doric, Mazdak, Zoran, Reza, Jadon, Adelbern, Rurik, Salma, Baede, Emilane, Edair, and Jennah), and not once is there a second name associated with any of them. Furthermore, at one point in the Sea of Sorrows when the royal line as a whole is referenced directly- a perfect time to use the surname if it existed- it is called the “Salmaic dynasty.”

EDIT: Whoops, forgot about Thorn. Still, my point (mostly) stands.

Well, there is an Ascalonian Wade Samuelsson, but yeah, it seems most of the Tyrian rulers haven’t got surnames, however, would be strange to not to if even the farmers got them. But to hide it is even stranger.

Elonians and Canthans have them for sure (Ossa, Heltzer, Wasburg and so on)

arenanet, why dont most monarchs on the continent of tyria have family names?

They probably have nobility titles instead of surnames, and those that become part of the royal family lose their surnames.
