Tomb of the Primeval Kings

Description
''Legends remain of noble spirits who stand watch over the tombs. If there is a passage between the mortal world and the Underworld, surely such spirits would know how to find it.''

The Tomb of the Primeval Kings is a place where monarchs were buried in ancient times. But there is much more to them than rotten bones and the mold of graves: Similar to the Tombs of Drascir, the Tomb of the Primeval Kings contains a portal into the Rift, the world of the Gods of Tyria!

Previously, before the January 19, 2006 update, this portal allowed heroes to enter the battlegrounds of the Global Tournament that are located inside the Rift, and eventually proceed to the Hall of Heroes.



For a while, the ruined tombs had neither a portal into the Hall Of Heroes nor a "corrupted" portal. Instead, the tombs remained intact, but radiated a strange glow. But then evil creatures of chaos invaded the battlegrounds of the Global Tournament. The creatures also entered the Tomb through the portal and put the Tombs in ruins. The portal was corrupted, but remained open. Fighters of the Zaishen Order now guard the portal to stop anything that may be coming out of it. Those who dare, may venture into the Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings to fight the creatures of chaos and to stop them from eventually gaining access to the sacred Hall of Heroes.

The Ruins of the Tomb of the Primeval Kings are the same battlegrounds that were used for the Global Tournament, but they are now infested with powerful monsters. As a reward for the brave heroes who defeat these evil creatures there are some Unique Items to be found deep inside the Ruins.

The portal towards the Hall of Heroes was sealed (for now), just in time to stop the creatures of chaos from entering. For compensation the Zaishen granted the Tyrians access to their home, The Battle Isles, which also features a portal into the Rift. This way the Tyrian heroes may continue to participate in the Global Tournament.
