Landmark

A landmark is a broad and generic term used by this wiki to describe a named place or area within the Guild Wars world. It is synonymous to Point of Interest.

A landmark is almost always fully contained within a zone, but never the zone itself. It can also be unreachable by the player, falling outside of any zone.

What defines a landmark
Landmarks can be identified in a number of ways:
 * Via a signpost, e.g. Zuuyun Point
 * From NPC dialogue, e.g. Gwen's Garden
 * Through lore, e.g. Giant's Basin
 * A few landmarks are labeled on the World Map.

Examples of landmarks

 * Statues: Balthazar, Grenth
 * Non-outpost villages: Ashford Village, Dakutu Village
 * Shrines: Shrine of Maat
 * Monuments: King's Watch
 * Geographic points-of-interest: Hammer Gate, Onghsang Island, Tomaat Pass
 * Town points-of-interest: Merchant's Corner in Lion's Arch
 * Unreachable points-of-interest: the Fortress of Jahai; the monuments to Nahlah and Dahlah off Mehtani Keys

Getting there
Since you cannot map travel to landmarks, articles on them will always include the reminder:
