🌈What is Tyria Pride?
Tyria Pride is a two-day in-game pride march from one corner of (core) Tyria to the other to show support both LGBTQ players and devs, and a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organisation which helps queer people escape state-sponsored persecution and violence around the world.
It's tons of fun every year, a ton of streamers join in so there are many ways to follow along even if you're not in game, music guilds hold concerts, and we have some pretty legendary giveaways! It's always blast!
For more info, check out the post on the official forums at tyriapride.com/2026
🫶 Fundraiser
Rainbow Railroad is a non-profit that helps LGBTQ+ people get to safety from countries where their lives are at risk. They've done tons of work all over the world, working tirelessly in places like Afghanistan and Ukraine! Rainbow Railroad works year-round to save lives, and we're honored to support them in this cause!

✊ How to get involved?
If you'd like to get involved beyond just participating, there's tons of ways to do it! On the discord, you'll find an entire "How to Help" section!
We're always looking for artists who are interested in donating a commission as a prize for our fundraiser raffle!
Another way you can help out is by donating in-game prizes! We incentivize donations to the fundraiser by raffling off legendaries, black lion skins, and more! If you can spare donations, both in-game or out, let me know! My in-game name is Lelling.6795

Bylur also had a wee bit of an outfit change in between the year. The Woad set is perfect for me to pull from for him. I imagine Bylur is almost always in the Shiverpeaks. 2 hours and 11 minutes for his first birthday, sitting at level 21.
Chi has hit her first year! Her look has changed a wee bit since then, but looks better with that set. I might even give her an additional one with the flame set~ 2 hours and 55 minutes for her first birthday, sitting at level 22.
The last January birthday goes to our first ratte~! Cayenne was my first true foray into color-matching my characters, I believe. Mostly because she was themed where as the first four were not—ignoring Laviii's character base. Her other birthday photos are over here and her hours are sitting at 469:9.
31:23 for Kamea's birthday this year. Had fun figuring out a symbol to use for the Court, ended up using the light female shoulder piece from the concept art of I believe the armor page???
17:15 for Mottut! I really adore how the silver of Amalgam looks with the void whispies. (Not actually void, just reminds me of it.) Shiny boy is shiny.
Also, surprised I spelled Amalgam right without looking it up...
Sieran's 10th birthday was a few days ago, work has been...absorbing. In some ways it's worse than retail. But still oh so much better... So over here you can find her other pictures bigger! 81:31 for her time played.
Yasu blending in here with plants at home... Anyway, his 13th birthday is here! 217 hours and 36 minutes for his birthday, I need to finish map completing on him. The rest of his birthday photos can be found over here.
