hello tyrians!
maybe you can help me with this:

Why the gods once lived in Orr? Why they left the Mists?

Thank you

“May the Six watch over you!”

Why Orr specifically? They were drawn by a wellspring of magical energy there. (The Source of Orr seen in the personal story.) Arah also seems to have been an important site during the last cycle; seeing as they were engaged in research of the elder races, that may have contributed to their choice to stay there.

Why they left? There’s no single reason confirmed as why, but the humans believe they gods felt their work was done. Combined with some of the dev statements we’ve had, it’s my interpretation that the gods believed their presence caused too many problems and too much damage to their wards. That’s still at least half speculation, though, so feel free to seek your own reasons.

Thanks for your answer Aaron.
Another question: why the human gods 1st came to Tyria? Is that because of magical energy?

That, we fully don’t know. There’s speculation that they were fleeing something, or at least that the humans they moved were, but that’s built upon an inference based on a single source- the Dwayna and Lyssa segments here, if you’re curious. There may be no telling what made Tyria in particular stand out from a presumably wider selection of worlds, though.
