5 years ago Humans Humanity is possibly one of the most widespread and active races around, aside from perhaps the Charr. Human kingdoms include Kryta, Ascalon, Vabbi, Istan, Kourna, and Cantha, spread across 3 continents and multiple islands in between. This has lead to many rivalries including the tengu and charr, but they also have many friends to be found in the dwarves and asura. The biggest defining factor about humanity is that they were brought to this world by the Six, a group of gods that molded and shaped Tyria to their liking. Because of this, they consider themselves blessed by the gods, giving them a greater intuitive understanding of magic than most other races.

Humans are the primary race for Guild Wars - indeed, in the video game they are the only playable race.
There are three factions of humans in Prophecies:
While the GW human race will likely stay very close to the stock 5e human race, I would like to get faction differences for the humans. A good example of this would be how TES: Skyrim has Imperials, Breton, etc. - all human, but from different regions. Additionally, if anyone has any additional changes to be made, I would love to hear!
