Realms of the Gods

The Realms of the Gods are the domains of the Gods of Tyria. They are not located in Tyria itself, they exist in the Mists of space.

Players can gain access to the Realms of the Gods through giving tribute to an avatar of one of the Gods at the Temple of the Ages in Tyria or Zin Ku Corridor in Cantha.

These areas are amongst the most challenging in the game, but also offer the greatest experience and rewards. These are the realms available at this time:
 * The Fissure of Woe, realm of Balthazar
 * The Underworld, realm of Grenth (also accessible from the statue of Grenth in Lornar's Pass)

To access any of these realms:
 * 1) Your entire party must be ascended.  It doesn't matter which campaign each party member acheived ascension for.
 * 2) Go to one of the statues that offers access to the realm you wish to travel to.
 * 3) Your territory must have the Favor of the Gods.  You can tell by watching the status of the statue.  For statues in explorable areas, at least 50% of the party members must be from the region with favor.
 * 4) If the avatar of the god is not there already, summon it by standing near the statue and typing "/kneel".  The avatar will not appear if your territory does not have favor.
 * 5) Pay the tribute of 1000 Gold and your party will be immediately whisked away to that realm.

Note:
 * Henchmen from the Temple of the Ages are not ascended.
 * The maximum party size is 8.
 * If all the members of the party die within one of the realms, or an important NPC dies, they are ejected and returned to the entry point.
