Obviously, Tyria does not look like any continent, so what are ur ideas here ?
EDIT : ok forget it ... I just did not see someone had already made such a comparison on another thread ... any moderator to delete / close that useless thread ?
Tyria ... is on Earth !
Duncan Idaho
It's been a long time i was wondering where Tyria could be... On Earth, on another planet ? Well I think i've found the answer, or at least a strange clue. It is well known that strangely enough, when one looks to the west one can see the sun. Yet, in the Desolation, it is not the sun but the moon that is displayed. I was wandering in the Desolation when it came to me to take a gaze at that moon and to my surprise, I found it really looked like the Moon. So I made a screen and compared, here are the images :

Ummm it's true, I also realized, with some estimates putting the precious planet I have guild wars between the earth and the moon, is spinning in an orbit parallel to the geostationary, but as we are not characters from Guild Wars, do not ya. It is a shame, I once saw a iboga is away.
The dinosaurs were not extinct, they left the planet single guild wars.
Only Togo and kanaxai can travel to earth. Togo is a small church masses in the north pole and kanaxai comes every year to participate in the San Fermines , held in Spain, as partcipa bull, that's clear.

Tyria is on planet Tyria - its a fantasy world created by Anet. The use of the Moon does not mean it is on Earth. It means Anet wanted Tyria to have a Sun and a Moon.

LOL I wanna see Fire Imps in real world! Time to head over to Tyria... is there a direct plane line to it?

Do you think maybe the programmers/animators might possibly have used reference images of earth's moon when designing the landscape in the desolation? I mean, I know how crazy that sounds?

Hey, I like that approach. Well found, Duncan. If only the moon didn't face the same direction all the time, you could pinpoint where on earth Tyria was too. More clues to where Tyria 'is' plz. This could be fun: 'The Hunt for Tyria'.

i think the tyria world is in a tidal locked orbit around earth in the earth-moon L1 point.
every continent in the game is on the moon side which explains why we never see earth, and tyria being in the earth-moon L1 point explains why you can stare at the sky in the desolation as long as you want and the moon will never move.
the reason you can't see the moon in some places where you should be able to see it is because it is blocked by a cloud.
i know all this because there is a picture of the moon in guild wars

Why does everybody assume that Tyria is even a planet? It's not an uncommon theme in fantasy to have a "realm" or "world" that exists more as a plane than as what we'd call a planet. Usually the land masses of these worlds are surrounded by some sort of vast unending ocean or mist. Also remember the Realm of Torment? It physically existed, our characters could walk around on it's land, however it in no way conformed to the "planet" definition. Just something to think about >.>

The Realm of Torment bypasses this idea though along with the Fissure Of Woe, Underworld and the Hall of Heroes. Due to the mystery of the Mists which seems to work like our universe we're not able to yet figure out if they are just dimensions or planes (due to the fact that most of them appear to have been created straight off by the gods unlike Tyria which was there before they arrived)

In other words, a realm, at least in Guild Wars, can be both a planet, or a plain of existence.
The Rift, I won't bother explaining here since my views of it can pretty much be found here.

I have an image of the moon in Tyria, too.
Funny, I've never seen that face on the moon, or any celestial body in our solar system.

Not entirely true. I live in Israel, and the city is called "Ashquelon" pronounced Ash-Qe-Lon and spelled אשקלון in hebrew.
I always thought Surmia is Syria, and than the story with the wall could be about Jerusalem, western wall etc.
