Temple of ages = Toa
A place north of Lions Arch (City in the middle of the map)

To get into the Underworld (uw) or fissure of woe, you have to be a ascended level 20 character, and your server has to have the favor.
Then go to the Temple of Ages, there you can enter UW/Fissure.

The 15K armor places are called: Granite Citadel, and Marhams(or so) Grotto
Those areas are deep in the Shiverpeak Mts.
You get there after you have come to the dwarven City: Droknars forge.

All this would be easier if you look for the world maps.

You can contact me in game

and enjoy GW

its the best

ToA = Temple of Ages
UW = Underworld (**Please Note** You CANNOT do the UW and FoW quests unless your respective country has the favor of the gods. If you are in ToA and the balth statue is o fire, then you DO have favor. If it is not then you DON'T have favor)
FoW = Fissure of Woe
LFG = Looking for Group
WTS = Wanting to Sell
WTB = Wanting to Buy
ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing
LMAO = Laughing my ass off
et cetera ad infinitum....

Some class specific abbriviations:
WoP = The Necromancers "Well of Power"
WoB = The Necromancers "Well of Blood"
Prot = Refers to a monk who is primarily a protection monk
Interrupt mes = Refers to a mesmer who primarily casts interrupt spells on enemies to prevent them from casting spells
Lockdown mes = Refers to a mesmer who primarily "locks down" an enemy effectively preventing them from casting in the first place
et cetera ad infinitum...

Fissure of Woe is a zone you get taken to from ToA by talking to the Champion of Balthezar, Underworld is the same thing except you speak to the Voice of Grenth. You can get the 15K armor peices in the Granite Citadel, Marhans Grotto, and Fissure of Woe (as far as I know, somone correct me if i'm wrong)

As for getting to the Temple of Ages, many people run from a variety of different cities. For most people the first time it requires alot of running and a skilled runner that knows where and where not to go.

Please, if you have any more questions, let me know, my IGN is to the left under my avatar. Have fun gaming!

I find a lot of new players don't know these either:

PuG = Pick-up Group
MOBs = Creatures/Monsters
AoE - Area of Effect (in reference to spells/attacks)

I have found that is easiest to get to the temple of ages by starting from Fisherman's Haven. You are a higher level when you get to fisherman's and it is also way easier as far as mobs go. Look at the map on this site to find fisherman's haven, It's south of ToA and north of Ring of Fire.
