Fields of ruin ebonhawke.jpg

The gates of Ebonhawke.

Until recently, the Fields of Ruin were the scene of the ongoing struggle between humans and charr, centering on the siege of the human city of Ebonhawke. Now a fragile truce exists between the two races, while radical elements on both sides seek to shatter that peace.

— In-game description

The Fields of Ruin lies in southeastern Ascalon, along the eastern wall of Tyria. It is primarily a large plain dominated by Ebonhawke, a human city on the southwest edge. It lies to the south of the Blazeridge Steppes, bordering the southern Blazeridge Mountains, and is one of the two main invasion points of the ogres from the east. Separatist humans and Renegade charr (who ironically agree that their governments are both wrong about peace and that they should keep killing each other) are focused in the center, around the peace delegations.

A Step Forward, A Step Toward


Greetings,

We received a message from one of our contacts. It included a note personally addressed to you, and we agreed that his words eloquently express our own opinion. I'm passing it on to you. You can read it below.

"As an adventurer, you are able to come and go at your will. In your travels across the Fields of Ruin, you chose to stop and help those in need, even though they are different from you and their struggles are alien to yours. Your acts exemplify the heart of the treaty we're working towards— that we can accomplish more together than we can just serving our own ends. Thank you." —Wade Samuelsson, Commander of Ebonhawke

Exploration is more than simply travel. It's about discovery and how you work with what you find. It seems you're doing a fantastic job. We are proud to have you among our members.

—Tyrian Explorers Society

Notes[edit]

  • There is no connection to Fields of Ruins from Plains of Ashford. Due to the nature of this, new characters in the 30's might not know how to get to Field of Ruins and end up going into the Blazeridge Steppes portal, where abnormally high leveled enemies are there for the character transitions into mid-level ranges. Because of the player potentially dying on the way to Fields of Ruin in the Blazeridge Steppes, it is best to take the portal in Divinity's Reach and start from Ebonhawke.
