Fields of Ruin

The Fields of Ruin lies in southeastern Ascalon, along the eastern wall of Tyria. It is primarily a large plain dominated by Ebonhawke, a human city on the southwest edge. It lies to the south of the Blazeridge Steppes, bordering the southern Blazeridge Mountains, and is one of the two main invasion points of the ogres from the east. Separatist humans and Renegade charr (who ironically agree that their governments are both wrong about peace and that they should keep killing each other) are focused in in the center, around the peace delegations.

Getting there

From Blazeridge Steppes: The portals are south of the Twin Sisters Waypoint in Twin Sisters Crossing and southwest of Tumok's Waypoint in Blightwater Basin.
From Divinity's Reach: Travel through the asura gate in Rurikton.

A Step Forward, A Step Towards

Greetings,

We received a message from one of our contacts. It included a note personally addressed to you, and we agreed that his words eloquently express our own opinion. I'm passing it on to you. You can read it below.

"As an adventurer, you are able to come and go at your will. In your travels across the Fields of Ruin, you chose to stop and help those in need, even though they are different from you and their struggles are alien to yours. Your acts exemplify the heart of the treaty we're working towards- that we can accomplish more together than we can just serving our own ends. Thank you." -Wade Samuelsson, Commander of Ebonhawke

Exploration is more than simply travel. It's about discovery and how you work with what you find. It seems you're doing a fantastic job. We are proud to have you among our members.
