Beacon (Wizard's Court)

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Beacons are ancient structures found all around the world of Tyria. They have been built to act as conduits of magic. Although the beacons are now being used by Isgarren and his Wizard's Court to help the World Spire power a magical shield to keep beings from the Mists such as the Kryptis from invading Tyria,[1] they appear to predate Isgarren. It is unclear if even Isgarren knows their origin.[2]

Known beacons[edit]

Ascalon
Horn of Maguuma
Ruins of Orr
