Dark times are coming for Tyria…
For centuries the races of Tyria have lived together in distrust and bitter rivalry. Humans hold a deep grudge against the Charr for their part in humanity’s recent decline. The Charr consider the humans an ancient enemy and relished in the destruction that gave them back their ancestral home in Ascalon. Even the new race of the Sylvari are not immune to the conflict that runs deep into the very core of these ancient lands, finding themselves at odds against the Asura.
The people of Tyria stand ready for war and ruthless competition against one another—and yet a darker threat is rising. A threat armed to consume all the inhabitants of Tyria, unless they rise to the occasion and come together.
The tide of darkness arose from the underground with the awakening of Primordus, ending with the Asura taking refuge among the surfaces. This was the first warning of impending doom and yet no one truly took heed of this dark harbinger. The Elder Dragons are awakening causing unexplainable phenomenon in their wake, such as the rise of the fallen land of Orr from the very depths of the ocean.
Even the mighty Norn have left their homes under the growing threat of the Elder Dragons. To the south the continent of Cantha has been cut off by isolationist policies, worsened by the undead navy of the Elder Dragon Zhaitan. Even Elona has lost direct connection with the people of Tyria.
Dark times are creeping upon Tyria, leaving inhabitants with only one true choice: Throw aside differences and, for the first time, come together in the face of this new darkness. Through new friendships and alliances the great heroes of the land must regain what has been lost, while confronting the dark minions of the Elder Dragons head on.
The alternative? Death and destruction at the merciless hands of the Elder Dragon armies.
