The Bonus Mission Pack is a mini-add-on where the player can witness certain events in the history of the current Guild Wars universe. It contains four unique missions, all single-player, all across the three continents (campaigns), where the player assumes the role of the story's hero. Those are: - Saul D'Alessio and the rise of the White Mantle in Kryta. - The story of Gwen after the Charr invasion in Ascalon. - Master Togo's history in the Canthan Tengu Wars. - The Battle of Jahai, where the Elonian hero Turai Ossa defeats the undead king Palawa Joko.
Guild Wars: Eye of the North is the first expansion for Guild Wars with content geared exclusively for level 20 characters. Return to the battle-scarred continent of Tyria, the home of the original Guild Wars game. There, old friends await, ready to assist you in settling past scores. But an even greater threat looms... The land has erupted, spewing forth a race of beings with only one thought—destroy everything. Win or lose, your actions will set the stage for Guild Wars 2.
