Giant's Basin

The Giant's Basin is a huge saltwater lake north of Kryta.

The name Giant's Basin may be a reference to The Great Giants.

The exact location for Giant's Basin has been in dispute. In game content suggests that it could either be the lake north of North Kryta Province or the large lake north of Watchtower Coast and Divinity Coast.

Evidence supporting that it is the lake north of Watchtower Coast and Divinity Coast are the town description for Divinity Coast and Beetletun, it is also the larger of the lakes in the area.

Evidence supporting that it is the lake to the north of North Kryta Province include the signs which say "Giant's Basin" in this area which clearly point to this lake, the Ascalon Settlement is described as being within close proximity to Giant's Basin and this lake is the closest, Damaris also uses the swamp north of Lions Arch as well as Giant's Basin as landmarks for finding The Ascalon Settlement in her dialog before she gives the quest.

While there is good evidence supporting each of those lakes, with the update of the map just prior to the release of Guild Wars Eye of the North a large river outlet was added leading from the larger lake north of Watchtower Coast and Divinity Coast. The addition of an outlet would mean that particular lake could not be a saltwater lake any more.
