Lion's Arch

Description
''The seat of power in Kryta, Lion's Arch housed the royal palace of King Doric and his line until after the last Guild War. Now, the White Mantle run the city. The old buildings have all been razed, making space for barracks and more practical structures.''

The scenery within Lion's Arch is quite impressive, most notably the large rocks and plateaus that can be seen from the beach and docks, and the lion statue above the Crafter's Corner.

Getting there
Complete the Gates of Kryta mission. It can also be reached simply by traveling exiting the Shiverpeaks from Griffon's Mouth, into Scoundrel's Rise, and finally south through North Kryta Province.

For characters of other campaigns, Lion's Arch is the port for Prophecies. Those from Factions would need to complete the quest Chaos in Kryta to reach here for the first time.
