“

When Shiro the Betrayer was slain his death cry swept across Cantha in the form of the Jade Wind. It petrified what it touched, and Echovald became a forest of stone. Hundreds of years later the Echovald Wilds are full of life—but the ancient Kurzick ruins still stand, slowly claimed by nature.

— Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons - The Echovald Wilds

The Echovald Wilds is a zone in Cantha, a part of the Echovald Forest. Once the land of the Kurzicks, now there are only ruins of their former home. The forest suffered when the Jade Wind was unleashed, petrifying the entire region. In the centuries since, the forest has come back to life and now the wildlife thrives.

Now the Echovald Wilds belong to the Empire of the Dragon. Within the wilds lies a large Xunlai Jade Junkyard, and the home of the Angchu tengu, who live in Mori Village. The territory is in conflict between the Speakers, the Jade Brotherhood and the Kestrels.

Qinkaishi Falls does not shine on the map when mousing over points of interest. It is recommended to get this early when attempting map completion as all other point of interests will shine.
