Ultra Peepi · Jul 04, 2006, 06:23 PM // 18:23

hmm good question, unfortunatly i dont know. i would like to know as well. : (

frickett · Jul 04, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

Hey, you know what, I don't know either, I never even thought about it... Great question Draxx. Also do you think there will be a different continent for each chapter? That might end up being a lot of different continents.

Feng Leung · Jul 04, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Hmm i don't think the world is even a globe..

Farrell-Zander · Jul 04, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

Some people think its called Elona. Check this link: http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Elonia

Carth` · Jul 04, 2006, 06:46 PM // 18:46

I think originally it was Tyria, until they added Cantha ?

I dont think thats quite right, in the manuscripts (the CH1 manual) it says that before humans there were dragons then they left tyria, i doubt that they could leave the whole world, as far as i can tell tyria is ascalon, kryta, elona and whats left of orr.

Its a good question though, worth something in the lore section

This is probably your answer. There is no name for it (yet).

It IS a good question, and I wonder if we'll ever get an "Official" history of the world(for Prophecies, then, later, for Factions, ect). That would be something.

huwbie · Jul 04, 2006, 09:13 PM // 21:13

A lot of people on GWO in the lore section believe the world to be called Tyria as well as the the continent in Prohpecies being called Tyria.

How ever i would love to find out the official answer... wonder if we ever will!

Deadlyjunk · Jul 04, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Jezus, good question... you found a hole in the lore I think

Heinrich Deathlord · Jul 05, 2006, 12:18 AM // 00:18

Looks like you're not the only one feeling stupid here!^^
But seriously, like everone else here, I don't know

Stegofreak · Jul 05, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

Strangely, reading the Factions manual has provided very strong arguments for and against the world being called Tyria.

Although I'm particulary swayed by the argument for the above conclusion. Read the opening line of the Factions Monk discription. It differs from that of the origional. Makes you think it talks of a world and not the continent???

Devolution · Jul 05, 2006, 12:40 AM // 00:40

Nirn.
The planet is called Nirn.
Tyria, Cantha, Akviri, Tamriel, Yokuda, whuteva.
Check very carefully and you'll find some Dwemer.

dreamhunk · Jul 05, 2006, 01:09 AM // 01:09

ok what is the planet called? how meny suns and moons does it have? How meny planets?

Helios · Jul 05, 2006, 02:11 AM // 02:11

Bob. I name the planet Bob.

Draxus · Jul 05, 2006, 02:15 AM // 02:15

Lol yes Bob is perfect, and nice name Draxx:P

Pan Sola · Jul 05, 2006, 02:51 AM // 02:51

Nothing in the GuildWiki article of Elona/Elonia ever considered it the name of the world, as far as I can remember.

Anyways, here's the answer:

It's only slightly more complicated compared to having Cantha the continent and Cantha the nation... @_@
