Ascalon City is the capital of the Kingdom of Ascalon, on the continent of Tyria. When you create a role-playing character in Guild Wars Prophecies, this is your starting point.

The largest city in the kingdom, Ascalon City is known for its beautiful architecture, numerous libraries, and bountiful shops. Because it is where many noble families make their home, it tends to receive the largest number of visitors and has become the cultural center of Ascalon.

[edit] Trivia

• Ashkelon was a large and important seaport in ancient Canaan. Its name was later corrupted to "Ascalon" by the English Crusaders. The "Battle of Ascalon" is generally considered to be the last battle of the First Crusade. It was finally destroyed for the last time in 1270 C.E. by the Mamluks. The ruins rest in what is now Israel's South District.
