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.

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.

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!

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???

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

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... @_@

For many fantasy or sci-fi books that never state the continent or planets name the fans name the place after one of the well known characters in the story (such as in the wheel of time they call it "randland").
So, how about Rurikania
It always irritates me when stories don't ever include the name of the world just once. All it takes is one single flipping line of dialog. At one time I thought the whole world was called Tyria - the way it was used in prohecies seems to be so, though it could also have just referred to the continent. Given how Anet says "tyrian based" and "canthan based" I now go with the continent idea, no idea the name of the world. I rather assumed I was just dense and others knew it, good to know I'm not too dense.

Thanks Pan Sola for that answer.
Draxx
Yeah Ty for the answer... but its still silly i say...
They should bring it up in game, as perhaps some way of includeing a story line in a new chapter or perhaps back in tyria...
as Tyria is now getting stale be awesome to get some sort of insight into the world by nameing it something else and perhaps bringing back some all powerful evil that would lead from proph into factions... then the beginning of chapter 3. be fantastic!!! and in the end it gives you a insight into the lore of the planet far before the current lore is dated.
i think this would be a great move by ANET would keep people involved in ALL Chapters encourage people to buy them ALL, and would be great to have something like that it would show great creativity on there part. and encourage players to be mroe intrested in the lore and the story... because currently theres a small lack of enthusiasum from alot of the GW world!

I think I know the answer But I have been playing for over a year, TYRIA is a contnient same with Cantha and Elona, (Elonia is where we all started from the humans anyway). AND THE answer is Orr its has been metion by the NPC's of the game. Since They Know more about the world than us I guess they would be right. ORR is the name of the planet.
