Tonight's update tossed four Cantha-themed arenas into the rotation. Here are some very brief descriptions about them:

Shing Jea - If you've played PvE at all, you already had a chance to see this one. Extremely straightforward with a few miasma clouds are scattered about.

Kaineng Port - In the middle of the map up top a platform there's an obelisk flagstand - fireballs affect a good portion of the arena (although you can hide from the fireballs underneath the platform, I think). Quite a small map.

Echovald Forest - You can cross over to other team's spawn point over a bridge, or you can run down to the middle into a nice open fighting area. I'm pretty sure that stone spores shoot out randomly in the open area. EDIT: When standing in the water in the open area, your enchantment durations are increased by 20% (thanks zoozoc).

Jade Sea - This one's a priest map that's accessible in Random Arenas, oddly enough. Layout is similar to Echovald Forest, but it's much tighter, and the "open" area has only a small perimeter not covered by spiked coral.

That's all I know about the maps. If anyone has any tactical tips about these maps, I'd like to hear about them.

I don't know if this matters at all or not, but on forest map, there is a little pool of water that legthens your enchantments by 20%. But its down in the open area underneath the bridge.

I edited my post to include your information.

Awesome, this should give TA a bit of needed flair again. It was dying down after the glad title hype subsided.

They should add the option to recruit henchies in case some people decide to go as a small group, like 2 friends, and get 2 henchies. They're not as good as normal players but still bring a character on the spot.
