Guild Wars 2 - Races

Guild Wars 2 features five playable races, which differs greatly from Guild Wars, which only allowed players to be humans. The playable races are the Humans, Norn, Asura, Charr, and Sylvari. While most of the playable races had been seen in Guild Wars before, their roles and lore have been greatly expanded for the sequel, and the Sylvari are an entirely new race created for the game.
