“

Once a mighty edifice designed to repel desert raiders like Palawa Joko, the Gates [sic] of Desolation are a broken skeleton slowly being reclaimed by the desert. A few determined traders hang on, although their customers are mostly Centaurs from the plains.

— in-game description

The Gate of Desolation is the outpost that connects Kourna to the Desolation. It is the last bastion of civilization against the sulfurous wasteland.

Trivia

• The map that comes with the Guild Wars Nightfall: Collector's Edition box calls this outpost Gates of Desolation, making the definition grammatically incorrect. Additionally, this outpost was called Gates of Desolation in-game until an update rectified it to its current name.
