Frozen Isle

The Frozen Isle is a Guild Hall, first introduced in Guild Wars Prophecies.

Layout
Two caves on either side, leading to a long bridge, which leads to a small centeral island. From this island, there are stairs that lead down onto a large lake, which connects to yet ANOTHER island, with a huge structure and a Flag stand on it. On the left cave, there is a statue of either The Great Dwarf or Droknar (both statues looks alike). Seeing as both Droknar and The Great Dwarf are believed in only by the good dwarves, some believe that this hall is actually the connection between Stone Summit territory and Deldimor Dwarf territory.

Features

 * Winter mountain theme, looks like the Shiverpeak Mountains
 * Complex pathing between bases
 * Gates controlled by lock switches located at the map's center
 * Ice causes Icy Ground causing a pause for 1 second followed by slowness if you stop on it

NPCs
Both teams start with several NPCs.

Strategy
Easily one of the biggest, this map is a split paradise. Winning here depends on finding the right balance between defending and attacking. The guild halls are very open, allowing small split team attackers to kill NPCs with ease, unless countered by a defense split. Usually battles on this map feature 2 simultaneous fights: One at the flagstand and one between the split teams (which might take place in either of the guild halls or the bridge in between), but even more than 2 areas might see fighting at once. The gate control mechanism at the center of the map enables those controlling it to either shut out enemies or trap them in the center of the map.
