　　英文原文：

　　The Creation of the World

　　Tyria is said to be over 11,000 years old, but its primordial history is still mostly shrouded in mystery. The earliest lifeforms on Tyria were the Elder Dragons, who spent much of their time in hibernation, and the Giganticus Lupicus, a race of giants that are now extinct.

　　There is a 7,000-year gap in the timeline of the world, for unknown reasons. The ancient Tome of the Rubicon mentions several races: the dwarves, the mursaat, and the seers. It also states that the mursaat and the seers warred with each other, but the reason why and the resolution of the conflict are unrecorded. Of course, the Tome of Rubicon is a dwarven book, and its prophecies and histories are far more concerned with dwarven matters.

　　At some point in prehistory, beings of enormous power, knowledge, and magic walked and lived upon the land. In the religion of the humans, they are called the Old Gods, or the True Gods:

　　Dwayna, Goddess of Life and Air (Leader of the Pantheon)

　　Balthazar, God of Fire and War

　　Lyssa, Twin Goddess of Beauty and Illusions

　　Melandru, Goddess of Nature and Earth

　　Abaddon, God of Secrets and Water

　　Grenth, God of Death and Ice

　　The earliest scriptures tell of another God of Death, Dhuum, but he was overthrown by Grenth for being unjust. Dhuum was imprisoned in the Underworld. Abaddon, as well, may have had a predecessor, but that is a matter of debate by the priesthood.

　　In the tales, the gods created the world, shaping the lands, forming the plants and animals, and breathing life into the various races. Others say that the gods were caretakers of Tyria, and that they brought other spirits to the world.

　　Tyria flourished under the protection and care of the gods. To aid them and serve as caretakers, the gods had servants - a race of serpentine creatures, now called the Forgotten. The Forgotten were meant to shepherd, teach, and care for the growing world, as well as for the other beings that were to come.

　　It wasn't long before Tyria was home to many: the charr, the tengu, minotaur, dwarves, centaur, and others. Finally, another race came to Tyria, and they brought with them a desire for domination. They were humans.
