Kamadan, Jewel of Istan

Kamadan is by far the largest and busiest city in Istan. Travelers from all over the world arrive here by ship to find a bustling center of trade. The city is aptly called the "Jewel of Istan".

Getting there
Kamadan is the first town of the Nightfall campaign. Nightfall characters enter here from Churrhir Fields, after completion of the Chahbek Village mission, as part of the primary quest Honing your Skills.

Non-Nightfall characters arrive via Sun Docks, as part of the transition quests of either Sunspears in Kryta or Sunspears in Cantha, which can be acquired from Lion's Arch and Kaineng City respectively.

Trivia

 * Oozes and rats were added to this town when Guild Wars Eye of the North was released to show that tremors had caused cracks to appear in the earth and releasing underground vermin. They were removed in the 10th September 2008 update.
 * The name Kamadan may be a reference to the word Ramadan, meaning the fasting month in Islam religion.
