Guild Wars 3 is set on Orr, more than a thousand years before the original game

Guild Wars 3 takes place on the continent of Orr, more than a thousand years before the original Guild Wars. ArenaNet describes that Orr as untamed, imbued with magic, and alive with the vitality of the wilds.

Rival guilds across Orr contend for influence and control. Players join the Vaelwardens, a guild sworn to protect the land, the people who live beyond the walls of Orr's towns and cities, and the nature spirits that call Orr home.

A Seeker, a Vael spirit, serves as the player's mount and as a direct connection to the magic of Orr. The movement system built around it adds gliding, riding and wall-running across the open world.
