Winds of Change

Winds of Change is a Guild Wars storyline telling the events in Cantha seven years after the end of the Factions storyline. Winds of Change will take place in three phases throughout the rest of 2011. The first phase was released on July 7, 2011.

To get started, speak with the Ministry of Purity's Initiate Zei Ri, who can be found on the lower level of Kaineng Center. (See also: this wiki's walkthrough.)
