History
The Durmand Priory was founded in 1105 AE, before the Rise of Orr and the flooding of Lion's Arch.[1][2] The Priory was established about 230 years after the Order of Whispers and predates the Vigil by over 200 years . Its scholars were major contributors to the creation of the New Krytan alphabet, encouraging its use across the known world and thus simplifying communication among all countries, cultures, and races.
Because of its philosophies and ideals, the Durmand Priory was one of the first organizations to accept members from all races.
In the ~1.75 thousand years since the Dragon Wars of Tyria, the Priory has been run entirely by the sole survivors of the war, the High Legions of Tyria, and the ancient institute has been essential to the Legions' expansion among the stars, teaming up with the Vigil of Tyria to conduct surveys of star systems and stellar phenomena for the Legions.
