The Eye of the North is a tower in the Far Shiverpeaks which plays a significant role in the story of Eye of the North. The tower contains the Hall of Monuments. It is the main stronghold of the Ascalon Army in the north, the Ebon Vanguard.

“

The origin of the Eye of the North is so ancient it has been lost to even the wisest skaald, the cultural storytellers of the Norn. Currently, the massive structure has become a base of operations for a group of Ascalonian expatriates known as the Ebon Vanguard, who plan and execute raids against the Charr from within the safety of its walls.

[edit] Trivia

• During the Guild Wars Eye of the North preview weekend, Eye of the North was a town in the Far Shiverpeaks along with Gunnar's Hold, making it the only region with two towns. During an update after the weekend, before Eye of the North went live, the staging area was changed to an outpost. It is still marked as a town on the official map poster.
• Architectural details inside the building clearly depict faces reminiscent of various raptors.
• If you look directly above the Eye of the North outpost, the sky will be a purplish black, when you go inside and look up, the sky looks more like a black hole.
• Eye of the North is the only outpost in the Eye of the North expansion areas to have seasonal decorations.
• The tower is one of the tallest buildings on Tyria if not the tallest.
