Small undamaged section in Post-Searing

The Great Northern Wall began construction in 898 AE. At this time, before the start of the Guild Wars, the Charr threat was beginning to look more imminent. The Wall was erected to protect the large bulk of the Ascalon empire, though many prominent cities still resided north of it - some examples being Surmia, Piken Square, and the Nolani Academy, which housed many scholars and was even where Ascalon's royal bloodline was educated. The Wall stretches from the Southern Shiverpeaks, in the west, to the Eastern Frontier, in the east.

During the Searing, the Wall was severely damaged and broken, allowing the Charr armies to invade Ascalonian territory.

[edit] Getting there

Prophecies characters can see a large portion of the Great Northern Wall as soon as the player exits Ascalon in pre-Searing. Here it can be seen in its undamaged form. Characters from other campaigns can only see the wall after the Searing.
