Guild hall
From Guild Wars Wiki
A guild hall is a gathering place for a guild. It is a private area that the guild leader can choose the setting of. It is also used to access Guild versus Guild battles, by clicking “Guild Battle” at the bottom of the Party Formation window.

[edit] Acquisition
To acquire a guild hall, the guild leader must have a Celestial Sigil and speak to the Canthan Ambassador found in major cities throughout Tyria. A Celestial Sigil is a reward from winning The Hall of Heroes, the final map of Heroes' Ascent, but may also be purchased from a Sigil Trader or from other players.
[edit] Changing the Hall
You can change your guild hall by buying a new one from the Canthan Ambassador. Any NPCs that you have purchased will carry over into the new guild hall.
[edit] NPCs
The guild hall can be improved by the addition of various NPCs. These can be bought from the Guild Lord, who is usually located in the central or main area of the Guild Hall. A basic guild hall, in addition to the Guild Lord, will also have Tolkano, the tournament NPC from the start.
If a guild is allied with the Luxons or the Kurzicks, there will also be an Alliance Battles NPC and a Faction Rewards NPC whose names are based on which faction you are allied to.
