Kryta

Kryta is a nation that occupies the area directly to the west of the Shiverpeak Mountains and to the east of the Maguuma Jungle. Kryta was once ruled over by a royal family, responsible for building many of the cities throughout the nation. During the Charr invasion, the White Mantle came to power in Kryta, removing the royal family and turning back the Charr. There is still friction between the old forces of the Lionguard and the White Mantle. In addition, the White Mantle are harrassed by a rebellious force known as the Shining Blade which hides in the Maguuma Jungle.

The landscape differs from the ruined landscape of Ascalon. Since Kryta did not suffer The Searing as Ascalon did, the area is lush and brimming with flora and fauna as well as swamps. Still, Kryta is plagued by an undead legion scattered in its countryside. Bestiary in the region includes undead forces as well as local beasts, including Mergoyles, Bog Skales, Drakes, Tengu and Gypsie Ettins.

Kryta has ties to the nation of Cantha, the islands of which can be reached via ferry from Lion's Arch.
