“Long ago, the human kingdom of Ascalon occupied the Plains of Ashford. Now, the ruins of that once-great nation tumble across the landscape, and the ghosts of the past haunt any who pass through their territory.— In-game description
The Plains of Ashford is one of the two primary territories of the Iron Legion in Ascalon, the other being Diessa Plateau. The land is riddled with human ruins and plagued by Ascalonian ghosts who were brought forth by the Foefire.

[edit] Notes

[edit] Trivia
- Ashford was a small village in Ascalon before it was destroyed by the Searing.
