Cantha
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
| The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Cantha. |
Cantha, also known as the Empire of the Dragon, is a vast empire to the southwest of the continent of Tyria and The Battle Isles. When Zhaitan awoke, his fleet of undead corsairs blocked access to Cantha by seizing control of the Strait of Malchor. No contact has been made with the empire for over a hundred years, save for the occasional castaway washing up on the shores of the Tarnished Coast.
Its last known emperor is Usoku, successor to Kisu. He defeated the Kurzicks and the Luxons, re-annexing them into the empire, before driving all non-humans from the lands. Anyone who disagreed with his rule was exiled.
[edit] Geography
Cantha contains four regions, Shing Jea Island, Kaineng City, the Echovald Forest and the Jade Sea. After the defeat of the Shiro the Betrayer, the curse of the Jade Wind was lifted and the forest slowly came out of its stone slumber while the sea reverted to its watery state. Due to the slowness of the progression, it is unknown how far the forest and sea reverted to their natural states before Cantha went isolationist.
[edit] Notes
- Cantha will not be accessible in the initial release of Guild Wars 2.
