== Professions ==
''Guild Wars Prophecies'' provided the players with the six [[core]] [[profession]]s that are featured in every ''Guild Wars'' installment.

'''{{W}} [[Warrior]]'''
:The Warrior is the only melee profession of the original 6 professions. The warrior's skills are designed to enhance the use of [[sword]]s, [[axe]]s, [[shield]]s and [[hammer]]s and they are able to use the most resilient [[armor]] in the game. These characters are the brute [[tank]]s, capable of taking and delivering more physical [[damage]] than the other professions. They also have the primary attribute [[Strength]], which grants extra [[armor penetration]] when using melee skills. They also have access to [[Stance]]s which modify their abilities, and [[Shout]]s to boost the party's performance and impair groups of enemies. Warriors generally follow the god of war, [[Balthazar]].

'''{{r}}[[Ranger]]'''
:The [[bow]]-wielding profession, this profession also serves as a nature profession, with skills for bows, [[pet]]s, and environmental superiority. Their attributes are, respectively, [[Marksmanship]], [[Beast Mastery]], and [[Wilderness Survival]]. Their primary attribute is [[Expertise]], which reduces the [[energy]] cost of attacks, skills, and certain spells. Rangers follow the Goddess of Nature, [[Melandru]], their first pet is usually the [[Melandru's Stalker]] named after their Goddess.

'''{{Mo}} [[Monk]]'''
:The healer profession, this profession serves as a healer, protector, and smiter. Their attributes are, respectively, [[Healing Prayers]], [[Protection Prayers]], and [[Smiting Prayers]]. Their primary attribute is [[Divine Favor]], which gives additional healing to their spells. Monks generally follow [[Dwayna]] when healing or protecting and follow [[Balthazar]] when smiting.

'''{{E}} [[Elementalist]]'''
:The Elementalist is the sorcerer profession. Elementalists may specialize in [[Air Magic|air]], [[earth Magic|earth]], [[fire Magic|fire]], or [[water magic]], allowing an elementalist to offer many different advantages.Their primary attribute is [[Energy Storage]], which gives them additional Energy. Elementalists support a god in relation to which attribute they are studying: Air Elementalists support Dwayna, Earth Elementalists support Melandru, Water Elementalists support Grenth, and Fire Elementalists support Balthazar.

'''{{N}} [[Necromancer]]'''
:The death-based profession, featuring hexes and corpse exploitation skills. The Necromancer's attributes are [[Blood Magic]], [[Death Magic]], and [[Curses]]. Their primary attribute is [[Soul Reaping]], which provides the Necromancer with additional energy from fallen foes (or allies). They follow [[Grenth]], the God of Death and Ice.

'''{{Me}} [[Mesmer]]'''
:A spellcasting profession, using skills to interfere with the opponent's energy, health, and skills. A Mesmer's magical ability is best described as magic of the mind. Their attributes are [[Domination Magic]], [[Illusion Magic]], and [[Inspiration Magic]]. Their primary attribute is [[Fast Casting]], which increases the speed of their spell and [[signet]] casting. They follow [[Lyssa]].

== Tyria ==
[[Tyria]], the continent that ''Guild Wars Prophecies'' is based on, offers many opportunities for the player.

=== Six regions to explore ===

[[Image:Krytan Towers concept art.jpg|225px|thumb|Concept Art]]
:'''[[Ascalon]]'''
::This once great kingdom lays in ruins after the [[Charr]] invasion. Now the last surviving humans of this region struggle to stay alive and push back the ever-increasing Charr threat.

:'''[[Shiverpeak Mountains]]'''
::This snowy mountain range separates Ascalon and Kryta and spans north of them as well. It is a region plagued by both vicious monsters, and an ongoing civil war between the [[Deldrimor]] Dwarves and the [[Stone Summit]] Dwarves.

:'''[[Kryta]]'''
::These beautiful grasslands and small forests are guarded by the [[White Mantle]]. However, an [[Undead]] presence lurks beneath the peaceful facade.

:'''[[Maguuma Jungle]]'''
::A thriving jungle inhabited by many creatures and overrun by plantlife.

:'''[[Crystal Desert]]'''
::An arid desert inhabited by the ghosts of former warriors.

:'''[[Ring of Fire Islands]]'''
