Kamadan is by far the largest and busiest city in Istan. Travelers from all over the world arrive here by ship to find a bustling center of trade. The city is aptly called the "Jewel of Istan".

“

Kamadan is the home port for the mighty Istani navy, and the main point of landfall for ships from nearby Kourna, as well as those traveling from Cantha, Tyria and the Battle Isles. Its deep harbor is sheltered from seasonal storms by a ridge of hills to the south. Built around relics and statues from the days of the Primeval Kings, Kamadan has earned the title, Jewel of Istan.

[edit] Notes

• Complete exploration of this town contributes approximately 0.3% to the Elonian Cartographer title. This includes exploration of Sun Docks.
• Unlike most towns, Kamadan does not have a Scroll Trader.
• The town is often referred to as "Spamadan" due to the large amount of spamming that is done.

Anomaly.

When completing the Venta Cemetery mission and returning here, it is possible to have a party larger than 4.

[edit] Trivia

• Oozes and rats were added to this town when Guild Wars Eye of the North was released to show that tremors had caused cracks to appear in the earth and releasing underground vermin. They were removed in the 10th September 2008 update.
