Continent

Continents are the largest areas in the game area that have a separate map.


 * Note: Real life earth continents (North America, Europe, ...) are referred to as "territories", in the game and in this wiki.


 * Note: Separate continents may or may not be located on a separate pieces of landmass. Since the map does not show the coastline all around, separate continents may be connected, similar to Europe and Asia being connected in real life.

Each campaign takes place on a different continent, with a common "core" continent for PvP.
 * Battle Isles (Core / PvP)
 * Tyria (Prophecies campaign)
 * Cantha (Factions campaign)

A continent usually comprises of several regions, and may including nearby islands.

In order to map travel between continents players must use the "ship symbol" on the map. (Note that this symbol must first be "unlocked" by reaching the port town.)
