The Battle Isles



The Battle Isles are the home of the Zaishen Order, and a sacred place for those who practice the art of war.

This is what Acolyte Haitan explains about the Battle Isles:


 * "We [the Zaishen Order] serve as protectors of the Battle Isles, where stands the Great Temple of our lord Balthazar. The Isles are home to countless arenas in which we train with those deemed worthy of the honor.
 * Now that the ancient Tomb of the Primeval Kings is under assault, our lord commander General Yurukaro has ordered the arenas of the Zaishen opened to the people of Tyria. We have our own gateway into the Hall of Heroes, one that is, so far, safe from the tains of evil that enshrouds the Tombs. We of the Zaishen Order will also offer new combatants personal training on the way to the gladitorial hero."

How to get there
The Battle Isles are located far south of Tyria and not on the Tyrian map. To visit the Isles, one must map travel by clicking on the ship symbol on the map near Lion's Arch. PvE characters must have traveled to Lion's Arch before the ship is available. PvP characters are directly created in the Isle of the Nameless in Battle Isles.

Locations
Note: Some of these locations must be "unlocked" in a fixed sequence to gain access to them. See the description of the respective location for details.
