[edit] Dialogue

Outside Lion's Arch, prior to completion of The Ascalon Settlement:

Cynn: "It's a good thing you've got a job as a merchant because you make a terrible tour guide."

Damaris: "I am doing my best to help you find the Ascalon Settlement."

Mhenlo: "Cynn, we only just arrived in Kryta. Please don't get us thrown out already."

Cynn: "I'm just saying, I could get better directions from an imp."

Aidan: "Though I doubt you could get us thrown out of an entire country, I would prefer you not try, Cynn."

Devona: "I am sorry for my companion's rudeness, Damaris. Please continue."

Damaris: "It's quite all right. You'll find the Ascalon Settlement to the northwest."

Damaris: "It's not far from the shores of the Giant's Basin...the great salt lake out past the swamp."

[edit] Notes

• Complete exploration of this area contributes approximately 1.6% to the Tyrian Cartographer title.
• Vanquisher runs of this area without active quests require defeating around 185 foes. Including quest influences, it has been reported to range from 126 to 241.
  • More foes during Graven Images and fewer foes during Defend North Kryta Province.
  • During Mustering a Response (before speaking with Captain Greywind), it's been reported to have fewer than 160 foes.
  • Prophecies characters who have not completed the Ascalon Settlement can have Mhenlo, Cynn, Devona, and Aidan help vanquish the area. (They will be level 20 but possess no elite skills.)
  • Elemental damage protection can help against the Fire and Inferno Imps. Remember to spread out before engaging them.
  • Bring hex removal skills, to counter the Mergoyles and Skales.

[edit] Trivia

• There seem to be fireflies near the ruins, close to Archivist Ithimar.
