Released in October 2006, GuildWars: Nightfall is the third campaign released in the
GuildWars line. GuildWars is
an MMORPG (Massive Multi-player Online Role-Playing Game) that allows you to play a great game with your friends and people all over the world. Nightfall
technically occurs around the same time as the original GuildWars (
Prophecies) and
Guildwars Factions,
but on a whole different continent from either of its predecessors. The continent of Elona (an African-type setting) is divided up into three kingdoms of
sorts: Vabbi, Kourna, and Istan. Istan is home to the Order of the Sunspears, an order charged with protecting all of Elona from any threat. Elonian-born
characters begin the game as new recruits to the Order, and are soon thrust into a battle against an invading corsair army. However, it is soon apparent
that there is more at work here than just rampant corsair activity. Strange signs and omens start cropping up everywhere, and whispers of a long-forgotten
power beginning to awaken are spreading daily. What is this mysterious forgotten power and what does it want with Elona? Travel through the three kingdoms
of Elona, discover new, unchartered regions, gain powerful allies in the form of heroes, and remember: A Sunspear never fights alone!
