“At the southern border of embattled Kryta, the Kessex Hills are overrun with marauding centaurs. Wrecked human towns dot the countryside, and a heavily-patrolled road from Lion's Arch connects with lands to the south.
— In-game description
The Kessex Hills are a low-level zone in Kryta. It is directly south of Queensdale and borders the northern edge of the tengu lands known as the Dominion of Winds.
Getting there[edit]

Notes[edit]
|
The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on Kessex Peak. |
- The Thunder Ridge Camp and Tower of Nightmares points of interest were added as part of the Tower of Nightmares release, which also moved the vista in Viathan Lake to a new location.
- Meadows Waypoint and Moogooloo Waypoint were removed in A Very Merry Wintersday 2013, after the collapse of the Tower of Nightmares.
Trivia[edit]
- Internally at ArenaNet, this area was known as "Valley_Wilderness."[1]
