{{Quotation|game|Kamadan is the home port for the mighty Istani navy, and the main point of landfall for ships from nearby [[Kourna]], as well as those traveling from [[Cantha]], [[Tyria]] and the [[Battle Isles]]. Its deep harbor is sheltered from seasonal storms by a ridge of hills to the south. Built around relics and statues from the days of the Primeval Kings, Kamadan has earned the title, Jewel of Istan.}}

[[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan]] is the largest and busiest city in [[Istan]]. Travelers from all over the world arrive here by ship to find a bustling center of trade. Being the capital of Istan both politically and economically, the city has been given the name "Jewel of Istan."

==Getting there==
Kamadan is the first [[town]] of the Nightfall [[campaign]]. Nightfall characters enter here from [[Churrhir Fields]], after completion of the [[Chahbek Village]] mission, as part of the [[primary quest]] [[Honing your Skills]].

==Notes==
* Complete exploration of this town contributes approximately 0.3% to the Elonian [[Cartographer]] title. This includes exploration of [[Sun Docks]].
* Unlike most towns, Kamadan does ''not'' have a [[Scroll Trader]].
* The town is primarily used for trading and is often referred to as "''Spamadan''" due to the large amount of [[spam]]ming that is done.
* There are three ways to reach this outpost with more than four [[party]] members (making it easier to [[vanquish]] the [[Plains of Jarin]]):
*# The easiest is to [[teleport]] from [[Dajkah Inlet]] by speaking with [[Dockmaster Dimedeh]]. The party will retain the following members:
*#* All players in the party.
*#* Up to three heroes per player.
*#* Up to four henchmen, specifically Gehraz, Herta, Kihm, and Sogolon.
*#* Anyone in the party beyond those limits will be dropped (e.g. a fourth hero selected by the party leader).
*# The party is teleported here after completing [[Venta Cemetery]] under the same restrictions as when teleporting by Dockmaster Dimedeh. In addition, [[Koss]] is required to begin Venta Cemetery.
*# A party of up to eight players can teleport here from the [[Throne of Secrets]] after completing [[Abaddon's Gate]].

== Trivia ==
{{gw2w|Palawadan, Jewel of Istan|3=}}
* [[Ooze]]s and [[rat]]s were added to this town when [[Guild Wars Eye of the North]] was released to show that tremors had caused cracks to appear in the earth and releasing underground vermin. They were removed in the [[Game updates/20080910#Miscellaneous|10th September 2008 update]].

* This outpost shares a name with the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Kamadan Kamadan], a popular creature found within similar climates within the fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms.
