Plot

Основная статья: Janthir Wilds story

Bristling with mursaat ruins and harrowing to navigate, fabled Janthir has been carefully guarded by the wizards of the Astral Ward—and to most of Tyria’s denizens, it is a distant legend. But recent events have inspired the world's leaders to create the Tyrian Alliance and dispatch the wayfinder to befriend new allies. As you seek out the lowland kodan colony in Janthir, you will explore, fight, and learn more about the mysteries of Tyria’s past.
