Human homeworld
The human homeworld is a location in the Mists from which the Six Gods brought humans to Tyria.[1][2][3] Little is known about this location, including its name and if it still exists. The Orrian History Scrolls' claims suggest that the homeworld may have faced some conflict or calamity, as the goddess Dwayna had promised to lead "her people to peace," which is said to have been fulfilled upon bringing humans to Tyria. Additionally, Lyssa helped them (the gods, humans, or both) forget the past, while only Abaddon truly remembered what had transpired in the Mists.[1] It is also known that humans "did not come with much magic of their own,"[4] and had to initially rely on ritualists invoking the power of the spirits during humanity's earliest years on Tyria before developing other magical professions.[5][6] This infers that the human homeworld had lower levels of ambient magic during the human exodus as worlds experiencing periods of high levels of ambient magic lead to births of beings with native access to magic as opposed to during periods of less magic.[7]
Trivia[edit]
- Enduring Icicle has referred to the Forgotten as "beings from the gods' realm." However, it is unclear if the Forgotten originate from the human homeworld or some other location in the Mists tied to the Six Gods.
