The world of Tyria, not to be confused with the continent of the same name, has been the home of many sentient species, such as the humans, asura, dwarves, and norn, among others. Known history puts it over 11,000 years old, when giganticus lupicus last roamed the world. However, the earliest known human life did not appear until 786 Before the Exodus. There are three known continents, and an unknown number of unexplored ones. Beneath Tyria runs a subterranean network of tunnels, linked by asura gates.

Tyria is only one world among many in the Mists. It is a very large world, but history has only chronicled events that have taken place on three major continents; these continents are Tyria (named for the world, also often called the Central Tyria), Cantha, and Elona.

The 14th century AE starts with the appearance of the first Sylvari along the Tarnished Coast, and is known for the mysterious figure of The Commander, who fought and killed one after the other the Elder Dragons that threatened the world.
