Guild Wars Nightfall takes place on the continent of Elona, Land of the
Golden Sun. It is a nation comprised of three great provinces; The island
province of Istan is the home of a vibrant people who live among the monuments
of an ancient empire. The military province of Kourna, under the command of its
great leader, Warmarshal Varesh, hugs the shores of the mighty river Elon. And
in the rugged lands to the north, the Princes of Vabbi rule from their opulent
citadels. Elona is a land of wealth and power, protected by its champions, the
Order of the Sunspears. In Guild Wars Nightfall, Elona has fallen under the
shadow of an evil, outcast god. Against the encroaching desolation of an
infernal realm, the people of Elona will need more than a hero to save them,
they will need a hero to lead them. . .for nightfall is at hand.
