General Description[]
Region: Ascalon
The Breach is an area north of the Great Northern Wall, north-west of Ascalon City. In Pre-Searing, this area was known as The Northlands.
Like all the rest of Ascalon this area, once a beautiful land of green hills and lush foliage, has been completely ravaged in the Searing by the Charr. It is now a rough and dry land, with little to no plants, only rocks and a few thorn scrubs. Fresh water streams were turned into lakes of tar. All settlements lie in ruins.
For a long time, even before the Searing this had been Charr territory. After the Searing the Ascalon Vanguard established an outpost in the ruins of Piken Square as a base for attacks against the Charr.
The Breach is often the first area a character newly arrived to Post-Searing faces severe challenges.
This area is also well known as a good place for higher level characters to farm Charr, thus gaining Charr Hide, which can be easily traded in Ascalon City for Fur Square.
The Breach was blocked with huge boulders before the searing.
