Guild Wars Nightfall takes place on the incredible continent of Elona, Land of the Golden Sun.

It is a nation comprised of three great wonderful provinces.

The island province of Istan is the home of a vibrant people who live among the monuments of an ancient and brilliant 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.  Can you be its saving grace?
