{{Quotation|website|Heroes are born in the crucible of conflict and tempered in the flames of battle. Their deeds shine throughout history as a beacon of hope to those who must rise to defend the world in ages to come, becoming part of the legend of the land. The legends forged within ''[[Guild Wars Prophecies|Prophecies]]'', ''[[Guild Wars Factions|Factions]]'', ''[[Guild Wars Nightfall|Nightfall]]'', and the ''[[Guild Wars Eye of the North|Eye of the North]]'' will not be forgotten in the future world of ''Guild Wars 2''.

Your deeds from the original ''[[Guild Wars]]'' campaigns will be commemorated in the ''Eye of the North'' expansion in your Hall of Monuments. The Hall of Monuments will reflect the achievements you earn in ''Eye of the North'' as well as those earned in ''Prophecies'', ''Factions'', and ''Nightfall''. You will even be able to show off your hall to friends. Then, when ''Guild Wars 2'' arrives, each of these monuments will correspond to special features your ''Guild Wars 2'' characters can "inherit" from your own legendary past, giving you access to exclusive [[title]]s, [[animal companion|companion]]s , [[weapon]]s, [[armor|attire]], and [[miniature]]s. These inherited items are unique: there is no other way within Guild Wars 2 to acquire them.}}

The [[Hall of Monuments]] is an [[explorable area]] that commemorates acquisitions and accomplishments of a [[character]] and/or an [[account]]. Available only to accounts that are linked to ''Eye of the North'', it is the only area in the game that is personalized to the [[party]] leader. Five distinct monuments allow players to show off certain weapons, all miniatures, most [[hero]]es and some pets, various [[prestige armor]], and player titles. The hall also serves to kickoff [[primary quest|key quests]] in ''Eye of the North'' and for dialogue and quests related to [[Guild Wars Beyond]].

More importantly for many players, filling one's Hall of Monuments is the only way to unlock a number of ''[[Guild Wars 2]]'' bonus items and titles.

==Monuments==
'''The Monument of [["Devotion"]]''' dedicates your miniatures for display.
* Only 20 [[miniature]]s can be displayed at a time at this monument.

'''The Monument of [["Fellowship"]]''' honors your [[Hero armor|upgraded]] heroes and certain animal companions ([[Black Widow]], [[Black Moa]], [[Phoenix (pet)|"Imperial" Phoenix]], and a generic animal companion statue).

* A total of 8 ''Guild Wars 2'' reward points can be obtained from this monument for 15 weapons, including at least 1 from each set.

=== Usage ===
; Display
In order to display your accomplishments or acquisitions, a monument must be unlocked. The '''Honor''' monument is already unlocked when you first enter the Hall. Each of the other four is unlocked by covering the wall behind it with a [[Monumental Tapestry]]. You receive the first of these when talking to Gwen after viewing [[The First Vision]]. The other three are acquired as rewards for completing each of the [[Against the Destroyers|Primary Story Arcs]] in Eye of the North (or though trade with another player).

If you have earned extra achievements, you can decide which will appear by clicking the monument pedestal then choosing the button marked, ''Arrange Display''.

; Account-wide vs. character view
[[Kimmes The Historian]] offers dialogue options to view your Hall of Monuments as character- or account-based. A character must enter the HoM at least once before their items/accomplishments can be viewed on the account-wide setting. A character entering the Hall in account-wide mode might not be able to see which of their monuments require tapestries, if another character on the same account is already displaying them. When dedicating to a monument, an individual character must own the corresponding tapestry, even if other characters have unlocked that monument in account-wide mode.

; Scrying Pool
The [[Scrying Pool]] is the central focus of this room, and provides players with a location to view visions and [[cinematic]]s unlocked during game play. As you progress the ''Eye of the North'' storyline, an icon called the [[Call of the Eye]] will appear in your effects monitor to signify that you should return to the Pool to receive a vision. It is also used to progress in the [[Hearts of the North]] storyline.

== Link to Guild Wars 2 ==
=== How to ===
By going to [https://account.guildwars2.com/login the Guild Wars 2 account management page], players can link a single ''Guild Wars 2'' account to a single ''Guild Wars'' account.

* You will be able to link a single ''Guild Wars'' account to your ''Guild Wars 2'' account at any time after creating your Guild Wars 2 account.
** Only accounts with the ''Eye of the North'' expansion and who have unlocked the Hall of Monuments are eligible for rewards.
* After linking accounts, you can then visit the [[gw2:Hall of Monuments|''Guild Wars 2'' version]] of the Hall of Monuments by using the [[gw2:Hall of Monuments Portal Stone|Hall of Monuments Portal Stone]], where you can claim your free rewards.
* This Hall of Monuments can be visited by any ''Guild Wars 2'' character and as often as you like.

=== Features ===

Players reaching a high enough rank in their Hall of Monuments will unlock exclusive [[Hall of Monuments/Rewards|rewards]], including titles, companions, armor, weapons and miniatures:

* The rewards are not intended to confer any advantage for original ''Guild Wars'' players over those new to the ''Guild Wars'' games - indeed as they are [[gw2:skins|skins]], they have no stats and are purely cosmetic. These skins can be [[gw2:transmute|transmute]]d onto other items.
* Rewards are unlocked on an account basis, even though each character has their own Hall of Monuments.
** You can use the [[Hall of Monuments Reward Calculator]] to determine which rewards would be unlocked if you choose to link your accounts.
** Further accomplishments achieved and dedicated in the original ''Guild Wars'' Hall of Monuments will continue to update your ''Guild Wars 2'' Hall of Monuments.

=== Non-HoM features ===
{{historical content|type=section}}
Players who chose to link their ''Guild Wars'' accounts to their ''Guild Wars 2'' accounts, and logged into ''Guild Wars'' before July 31, 2012 were able to reserve their character names from ''Guild Wars'' for use on the linked account during the [[Guild Wars 2#Base game|Headstart Access]] period, and until the end of the launch day. Any reserved names that were unclaimed by the end of that time were freed for general use.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130305232524/http://www.arena.net/blog/reserve-your-guild-wars-character-name-for-guild-wars-2-by-july-31 Reserve Your Guild Wars Character Name for Guild Wars 2 by July 31], ArenaNet blog</ref>

:1 The Rainbow Phoenix will only appear if the party leader has all the [[Monumental Tapestry|Tapestries]] unlocked, is entering the hall alone, and has either of the following:
::"[[Kind of a Big Deal|People Know Me]]" or higher (ten or more maxed titles).
::''OR'' "[[Kind of a Big Deal]]" and at least 4 monuments are displaying the maximum number of displayable items (in personal or account-wide view, with the exception of the weapon monument, which needs only 9 weapons to be displayed).

==Notes==
* Guild Wars 2 accounts created via Steam can only be linked to a [[Guild Wars Reforged]] account created on the same Steam account. The games will be automatically linked.<ref>[https://help.guildwars.com/hc/en-us/articles/46636569636371-Guild-Wars-Reforged-FAQ Guild Wars Reforged FAQ]</ref>
* Exploration of the Hall contributes approximately 0.071 [[Master of the North]] points. <ref>[https://guildwiki.fandom.com/wiki/Talk:Grandmaster_cartography_guide#Exact_area_details Guild Wiki's detailed mapping project.]</ref>
* When entering the hall, the entry text will display the [[Kind of a Big Deal]] and the name of the party leader (i.e. for the ''owner'' of the hall).
* By specifying their placement, you can place multiple copies of a statue into a monument.
* There is no [[Resurrection Shrine]] in this area; if your party lacks resurrection skills and all player characters die for any reason (e.g. by [[sacrifice]]), your party will [[wipe]].
* When parties with more than one player character enter the Hall of Monuments, the achievements change to display the current party leader's achievements each time a party leader leaves the Hall of Monuments (e.g. by [[map travel]]ing or [[Log Out|logging out]]).

; Account-wide and calculator notes
* You may add items to any monument when your Hall of Monuments is in account-wide display provided that:
** The character adding the item has placed a tapestry for that monument, ''and''
** No other character has yet added that statue.
* Statues belonging to deleted characters will remain in the account-wide version of the hall and ''will'' continue to count towards ''Guild Wars 2'' rewards.
* Changes to the Hall of Monuments will not show up in your Hall of Monuments Calculator until after you log out.

{{anomaly|If you have completed the [[War in Kryta]], but missed some of the scenes that take place in the hall due to following [[the War in Kryta]] quest, they can still take place, but with the supposedly missing Thackeray.}}
{{anomaly|If the Rainbow Phoenix takes damage and becomes hostile, Ogden and Thackeray will heal it.}}
