The Ruined City of Arah (or simply Arah), once called the City of the Gods, it was the home of the Six Human Gods and marks where they first arrived on Tyria from the Mists. After the fall of Abaddon, the remaining Five Gods left during the Exodus of the Gods. Afterwards, the Orrians made Arah the capital of Orr and continued to maintain the city in hopes of their eventual return. In the vaults of Arah, Vizier Khilbron retrieved forbidden scrolls that caused The Cataclysm which sunk Orr.

In 1219 AE, Zhaitan awoke beneath the city, causing the kingdom and the city to rise above the waves. It now resides in the city, making its lair there.
