The Northlands

The Northlands describes all the land north of the Great Northern Wall, which protects Ascalon from the ravages of the Charr. Despite its peaceful, idyllic appearance, the area north of the Great Northern Wall is a dangerous place, as the Charr reign unchecked as one leaves the relative safety of the Wall behind.

Trivia

 * If you turn east from the road north to Piken Square, you can travel to the site where Jaw Smokeskin will start The Searing. This altar is guarded by 30 Charr (including Smokeskin and three other bosses). However, killing them will not prevent the eventual cataclysm.
 * The charr have built several Titan effigies in the area.
 * As you approach the Shrine where the Searing is cast, the texture of the sky changes to dark red and purple, with heavy storm clouds visible (similar to how things look in post-searing Ascalon).
 * All of the Charr bosses also appear after the Searing in the Nolani Academy mission.
 * The post-Searing signpost for this area reads The Breach.
