Help with understanding GW lore?
Yea unfortunately you’re going to get it in pieces. History is not one narrow story, but a collection of events that span large areas and many people. Try finding a summary of the GW1 story and that should give you the broad strokes. Might have to just read the summaries of each sequential mission. History is broad. Be prepared to take a fair amount of time learning it.

The site of Guild Wars 2 gives you a lot of information on its own. It gives you background information of the races, proffesions, and explains how Dungeons and other things work. The video that says ‘’What is Guild Wars 2?’’ tells you the story of Tyria. If you have any questions about some things, you can always ask more questions on this forum.
Hope this helped you out!
WP’s video’s are a bad bad source for lore. He is a nice story-teller, but he mixes his own fantasy up with reality, making assumptions that turn out to be wrong etc.
A good way for lore is by reading the lore pages on the gw1 wiki and the gw2 wiki and specially the timelines.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
aw kitten .
the lore pages in the wiki’s are usually just bits and pieces, i guess i have to patch it up myself later on.
i was hoping to find somewhere that puts the pieces together for me in the right timeline as well
Try this link…it’s not 100% accurate, I have to edit one bit, but it’s 99% accurate, which helps.
It all sums up to this:
There were some gods, they left!
There are some dragons, they let the minions do their dirty work!
There are some races, Charrs > The others except humans > Dead Humans > Humans!
Quaggans are cute!
Ghosts are like fleas! I hate fleas!!!
