This dense and beautiful woodland is the stage for a brutal civil war between the Dominion and the United Legions. With diminished resources, strategy is key. Claim territory from enemy forces led by Ryland’s Steel warband and push back the front lines in a map-wide meta-event.

— No Quarter

Drizzlewood Coast is a zone available via Living World Season 5 episode No Quarter or Jormag Rising. Located in the Woodland Cascades, and the Far Shiverpeaks, it is where the Sanctum of the Wild is located, a place of great importance for the Norn, as is the Frost Citadel where Jormag takes refuge and where they hold captive the lost spirits.

It serves as a battleground for the charr civil war between the United Legions and the rogue Imperator Bangar Ruinbringer's Dominion forces.

The repeatable achievement Glory to the Legions functions as a set of reward tracks for Drizzlewood Coast and Strike Mission: Cold War, in addition to the map bonus rewards.

Ambient dialogue

Through the entire southern half of Drizzlewood Coast, the following announcements can be heard:

Varinia Stormsounder: Dominion, our ranks swell every day. Look to your leaders, stand proud, and know that might makes right!

Varinia Stormsounder: Dominion! Stay vigilant! The day comes when Bangar will make all our enemies tremble!

Varinia Stormsounder: False imperators, have some pride. Admit defeat and allow your legions to become greater—to become Dominion.

Varinia Stormsounder: The false imperators have you fight beside humans and other lesser beings. Dominion fights for Charr Above All!

Varinia Stormsounder: Charr Above All! Remember the words. Use them to sharpen your steel, your aim, your claws. Charr. Above. All.

Varinia Stormsounder: As Dominion we will rise together to our rightful ranks! Charr Above All!

Varinia Stormsounder: In Bangar's Dominion, there are no gladia. There is only the strength of our fangs and claws, and the enemies at our feet.

Varinia Stormsounder: Fewer and fewer of your comrades remain to stand beside you. Join them in death or join Dominion.

Varinia Stormsounder: Don't you understand? Dominion will prevail. Join the winning side.

Notes

• Prior to the release of Jormag Rising on July 28, 2020, entering the northern half of the map was not possible. A large message with a Dominion emblem and the words "No Man's Land: You are targeted by a group of Dominion snipers. Flee south or die!" would appear and both the  Frostbite and  Targeted effects would be immediately applied to the player, resulting first in heavy ticking damage, before being shot and killed by an invisible sniper.
• Southeast in Leadfoot Village, nearly bordering Breakroot Basin and Fort Defiance, there is a gramophone blasting Metal Legion songs up in a tree watchtower. It's Interact is bugged.

Trivia

• Drizzlewood Coast overlaps with the Guild Wars map Verdant Cascades.
• Internally at ArenaNet, this map was known as "Alpine Cascades".
