Ebonhawke (GW2 Zone)  

Ebonhawke is an Ascalonian city in the foothills of the Blazeridge Mountains at the merge with the Shiverpeak Mountains. In 1080 AE, King Adelbern sent Gwen Thackeray and the Ebon Vanguard to the city of Ebonhawke in order to solidify supply lines to Ascalon City and to act as a last-ditch holdout position. When Gwen arrived, she fortified the city and withstood siege after siege. After the Foefire, Ebonhawke became the last place in Ascalon to be controlled by humans. The people who control this fortress are the last patriots of Ascalon, the rest of their countrymen having taken refuge in Kryta or turned into ghosts by the Foefire. The fortress is supplied by an asura gate, without which it would have most likely fallen already to the relentless attacks of the charr. Separating it from most of the charr-controlled lands is the Dragonbrand.

Ever since the fall of Ascalon City, the charr have laid siege to the fortress giving no rest. Many charr now think the fortress is not worth the effort, so only the Iron Legion and a few individual warbands attack the fortress utilizing their siege weapons. The Iron Legion even tests new machinery of theirs on the walls of Ebonhawke.
