Realms of the Gods

The Realms of the Gods are the domains of the Gods of Tyria. They are not located in Tyria itself, they exist in the Mists of space.

Players can gain access to the Realms of the Gods through giving tribute to an avatar of one of the Gods at the Temple of the Ages in Tyria or Zin Ku Corridor in Cantha.

These areas are amongst the most challenging in the game, but also offer the greatest experience and rewards. These are the realms available at this time:
 * The Fissure of Woe, realm of Balthazar
 * The Underworld, realm of Grenth (Also accessible from the statue of Grenth in Lornar's Pass.)

To access any of these realms:
 * 1) Go to the Temple of the Ages (click here for a map showing how to get there) or Zin Ku Corridor.
 * 2) Your territory must have the Favor of the Gods. If your territory does not have the Favor of the Gods, the avatar of the gods will not appear to take your tribute. When you enter the temple, the game will inform you which territory has the favor and the appearance of the statues will indicate it.
 * 3) Speak to the avatar of the god that rules over the realm you wish to go to. If the avatar is not there even though your realm has favor, summon him by standing before the statue and typing "/kneel" or "/bow" to have him appear.
 * 4) Pay the tribute of 1000 Gold and your party will be immediately whisked away to that realm.

Note: You cannot take henchmen there. The maximum party size is 8. If all the members of the party die within one of the realms, or an important NPC dies, they are ejected and returned to the entry point. Only ascended characters can go to the realms of the gods. It does not matter if you only acheived Tyrian ascension or Canthan ascension (Weh no Su), any entry point will work for either.
