Old Ascalon

General Description
Region: Ascalon

The area south/west of Ascalon City, once a beautiful land of green hills and lush foliage has been completely ravaged in the Searing by the Charr. This area encompasses most of what was once Pre-Searing Ascalon. It is now a rough and dry land with almost no plants, only rocks and a few thorn scrubs. Fresh water streams have turned into thick lakes of tar. All settlements lie in ruins.

Quests
The following quests start in Old Ascalon:

(Note: Icons indicate quests with a skill reward.)

Note

 * To receive credit for the Vanquisher title track in Old Ascalon you must defeat 184-291 monsters in Hard Mode.
 * Pop-up monsters do not count towards total count until triggered.
 * Generally the Northwest corner of this area can be avoided when vanquishing. Often the only monsters that appear here are popups, though occasionally a pair of devourers will spawn un-burrowed south of the ruins of Duke Barradin's Estate.  The northwest corner consists of everything west and north of the red splotch on the map.

 Completed Vanquisher Map
 * If the Southern edge of the map is Vanquished first, the Ascalonian Guards and their Captain can be recruited for assistance as you pass the entrance to Regent Valley.
 * Artisan Daved is of particular use when caravan or chain vanquishing for a quick sale of excess inventory items. He can be found in the vicinity of the entrance to Sardelac Sanitarium, almost immediately beneath the "hard mode" icon on the main map.
