Guild Wars 2

I’m a guild wars newbie, and I’m at the point in my character’s personal story where I’m being asked what descent me and my sister are.. Krytan, Ascalonian, everything in between, these names mean nothing to me but for the sake of RP I wanna give a good answer! I’ve been searching the wiki but haven’t turned up anything yet. I’d appreciate any info on the various human cultures, thanks!

Always found that this was a very good “general” covering:

To more specifically address your “Kryta, Ascalon” question, During the time of the “Guild Wars” humans basically split into different regions. Ascalon is where you came from in GW1 before it was taken back over by the Charr (that is their main area in GW2 now). You left Ascalon after the “Searing” (Charr wiping everything there). Actually a pretty interesting read though, I recommended reading the whole thing very much. Kryta was another region that was offering refuge, but the king of Ascalon declined, so his son did it anyway (he is the main guy you work with in the game)
