Loading screen

The loading screen is displayed while Guild Wars loads the location you are about to enter; this may include locations needed for cutscenes.

The loading screens for missions are generally unique to the mission, being in-game views of a specific spot within the mission. A few missions use the loading screen of their region, and these are noted below.

The loading screens for Guild Halls correspond to their environments from the respective campaigns (mostly).

The small images can be found on the character selection screen behind the heads of your characters.

The Battle Isles

 * Note that the Fissure of Woe shares its loading screen with The Ring Of Fire Islands.
