Trivia

The Guild Wars 2 Wiki also has an article on Ascalon City Ruins.

• There is a mural on the wall northeast of Warmaster Tydus that bears some resemblance to Kuunavang, however it is most likely to be of the Forgotten, as the same image was used in the Prophecies Manuscripts while discussing them.
• Ascalon City was originally named Kyhlo but was renamed due to translation issues. Ascalon City was originally meant to be a temporary name but was never changed.

Anomaly.The Guild registrar and guild emblemer NPCs are missing from International Districts.
