Tombs of Drascir

I was just poking around on the wiki and reading some of the gw lore and I stumbled across the list of the 3 only known entrances to the hall of heroes. Heroes Ascent(pvp), Tomb of the Privmeval Kings(bonus mission), and the last being the Tombs of Drascir, which is located in Drascir, the former capital of Ascalon, deep in Charr territory.

So..in conclusion, since it has been said that we will be able to explore the Charr homeland, do you think it is likely that this last portal will be put to use as another kind of elite mission or something of that nature?

Well, it is one possible place where Ebon Vanguard might defend portal. Ebon Vanguard must have some major reasons to do what they are doing.

Drascir itself is north of the wall, but not actually in the Charr homeland, you visit the academy at Drascir at the end of ruins of surmia mission, however the tombs could be further north

map from the E3 for everyone 2004 event manual


A: Ascalon Wilds (solo quest area)
B: Town of Kyhlo (later renamed Ascalon City)
C: Arena (4vs4 team arena)
D: The Perilous North (mission, evolved into Great Northern Wall)
E: The Tombs of Drascir (place of the 8vs8 tournament, now at Hero's Ascent)
F: Jungle Preview
G: Mountain Preview
H: Siege of Fort Koga (random 8vs8 siege map, probably evolved into GvG)

Wow that map looks bad xD

That position looks more like Dragon's Gullet. I kinda wonder what these areas looked like before the searing.

It reminds from LOTRO's map, poorly informative because try to look like map with only places names and markers.

Wow, how much the game has changed...

So, any other lore from 2004 that proves interesting / humorous in hindsight?

It will probably be the portal to the final boss

I don’t know, they might bring it up again. They did say something about the catacombs reopening. So this place could reopen as a dungeon. Who knows *shrugs.*

I would actually like to go to Drascir.

That would be sweet.

Do Ruins of Surmia. The door that Rurik opens is part of the Academy of the Arcane Arts of Drascir.

Well i know the topics been dead for a while but id bet the third entrance, the Tomb of Drascir, is in the flame temple corridor. Its a little bit out of the way but the whole place ispretty much one big mausoleum. Take a close look at the sentral memorial, its huuuggggeeee with lots of flashy effects and lightning lol

Moving to lore section - not really got anything to do with the "gameplay" of the EotN.

ANET IF YOure listening I will pay 10$ EACH for a Tomb of Drascir and Fortress of Jahai elite dungeon.... or COMPETITIVE MISSION in the spirit of Fort Aspenswoo

I always wondered why MMOs don't try the micropayment method. Add a new area. Take it or leave it, but it's $5 if you want access. Or whatever.

I would also LOVE to see Wizard's Tower as a dungeon, too.

Think about it, ANet! Whip up a few more dungeons, then charge us a few bucks if we want access.

Anet did it with the BMP. They could give us more.

Anarchy Online's doing really well too with their latest couple of additions to the game, now they've got stuff available for micropayments that's balanced to be a bit less effective than ingame grindable stuff, but looks cool and adds a bit of fun.

Maybe the Tombs of Drascir lie underneath the Flame Temple in The Flame Temple Corridor. Perhaps because of the energy that must hae been present due to the portal to the Mists, it drew the Charr their, and they constructed the Flame Temple there.

The place at the end of the Ruins of Surmia may be the Academy at Drascir, but Drascir may be the name of not just a city but an area, like Ascalon city is in the region of Ascalon. Just a thought.

I found a picture somewhere on wiki showing the entrances to the tombs of drascir.. all that have been sealed off. Ill post again later when i find it
