{{quotation|nightfall|The island province of [[Istan]] is known for its navy — a formidable fleet that patrols [[Elona]]'s western coastline. Each day, ships from [[Tyria]], [[Cantha]], and other distant parts of the world arrive in the port city of [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]]. From there, [[merchant]] ships travel to Istan's numerous islands and the [[Kourna]]n mainland, braving waters troubled by [[corsair]] patrols, cyclones, and greater dangers. Valiant Istani watch the waters, confident that when hostile outsiders arrive in Elona, the province’s citizens, soldiers, and sailors will be ready for them.<br />
<br />
Great Istani heroes have been forged by great adversity: war, famine, invasion, and stranger threats. Over six hundred years ago, the infamous [[Scarab Plague]] devastated this province. Victims died horribly, as insects erupted through boils on their skin. Many believed the outbreak of plague had supernatural origins, blaming the suffering of the innocent on unseen forces. In this troubled time, heroes tended to the sick, evacuated towns and villages, and searched for the source of corruption. Though the origin of the plague was never found, great tales are still told of heroes helping the beleaguered populace.<br />
<br />
To this day, Istan rewards bravery and accomplishment. No word describes its government more than "meritocracy": the best and brightest are rewarded with promotion, and years of service are recognized. Village elders watch over many towns and outposts, eventually rising to positions of respect and authority on the [[Council of Elders (Istani)|Council of Elders]]. The province has its fair share of miscreants and scoundrels, of course—criminals typically sink to the dregs of society—but each dawn in Istan, another hero’s journey begins.}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
*Maximum party size in Istan is 4, except [[Beknur Harbor]], [[Blacktide Den (outpost)|Blacktide Den]], [[Consulate Docks (outpost)]] and [[Kodlonu Hamlet]] where the maximum size is 8.<br />
**Leaving from [[Beknur Harbor]] allows access to the [[Cliffs of Dohjok]] and [[Zehlon Reach]] with a party of eight, which may be useful for [[vanquishing]] or completing some of the [[quest#Special Conditions|Master Difficulty quests]] in those areas.<br />
*[[Nightfall]] characters can obtain a maximum of 21.9% [[Cartographer|explored area]]. Other characters are normally limited to maximum 21.5 - 21.6% explored area, as the starting area, [[Island of Shehkah]], is normally only available to brand-new Elonian characters.<br />
<br />
{{bug|It is possible to attain an 8-person party in [[Sunspear Great Hall]] by completing the [[Blacktide Den]] mission with 3 heroes and the 4 henchmen found there. Any henchmen not present in Sunspear Great Hall will be removed from the party.<BR><br />
The same applies for [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan|Kamadan]] after completing the [[Venta Cemetery]] mission or talking to [[Dockmaster Dimedeh]] in [[Dajkah Inlet (outpost)|Dajkah Inlet]].}}<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Internally at ArenaNet, this area was known as "Delta."<ref>[http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/directsong-some-tracks-wont-play-t10131422.html Post by Gaile Gray], Guild Wars Guru Forum</ref><br />
* The name may use the [[w:-stan|Persian suffix -stan]], meaning "land of", which is a common refrain in the [[Land of the Golden Sun|opening cinematic]].<br />
