Mantle's Arrival is the westernmost area of Bava Nisos. Currently, it serves as a staging ground for the Tyrian Alliance's forces and a pathway to Titan's Vestibule and Bava Nisos proper.
This place is of Mursaat origin and exhibits their distintive architecture style, incorporating Mursaat Obsidian ornaments, as well as numerous inactive Jade Constructs and Mursaat Towers as decorations. Although severly damaged and in a state of ruin, it escaped total destruction by the expanding influence of the titan of Bava Nisos. It also bears marks of small, yet somewhat recent White Mantle presence — a few sorry remnants of an expedition sent to the region by Minister Caudecus, hence the area's name. It is the last known location of it's members: Judge, Tatyanna, and Ulrich; at least in the realm of Tyria. Now, it also holds a small outpost of Tyrian forces, consisting mainly of Astral Ward personnel, soldiers of the Vigil and Lowland Kodan. Similarily to Alliance Staging Ground in Mistburned Barrens, members of Lowland Kodan bring colour to this bleak and desolate place with many decorations of their own.

Ambient dialogue[edit]
- Astral Ward Scholar Matta: This one, Ulrich, was the instigator, from the sound of it.
- Astral Ward Scholar Sharpclaw: And a vicious son of a dam, too.
- Astral Ward Scholar Matta: (sighs) I've never understood how anyone can just...give themselves over to a cause like that.
- Astral Ward Scholar Sharpclaw: Some...have a hole inside them. They fill it with whatever fits their pain.
- Astral Ward Scholar Matta: That's surprisingly insightful.
- Astral Ward Scholar Sharpclaw: Had a lot of time to think, back in the citadel.
- Kodan Landspeaker: So many have come to help us rescue our lands...
- Kodan Landspeaker: Scientists from a place called Cantha... Alchemists from "Rata Sum"! The sky watchers.
- Kodan Landspeaker: When all this is done... I hope that I can repay them.
- Spry Foxglove: It looks like teeth to me. Do you think it...eats?
- Murmuring Creek: Perhaps it did once. But now? Who can say.
- Spry Foxglove: It makes my fur stand on end...being so close.
- Murmuring Creek: We can hope the operation ends soon. Then we return to our hearth.
- Spry Foxglove: Wry Lichen will never believe this. Maybe a sample...
- Murmuring Creek: Gutter your flame, young one. We must remain vigilant.
- Spry Foxglove: Yes, Mentor.
- Vigil Crusader: Vigil, line up!
- Vigil Crusader: Tired of guard duty. We should be on the front lines, not checking every crate bound for the Shiverpeaks...
- Vigil Soldier: Don't you know what we're on the lookout for?
- Vigil Soldier: Some entrepreneurial folk got a wise idea and have started smuggling titan organs out of here. We're putting a stop to it.
- Vigil Crusader: Titan organs? Who would want those?
- Vigil Soldier: I don't know... Some rich, bored noble in Divinity's Reach? (grimaces) Probably using it to spice up their dinner parties.
- Vigil Soldier: Doesn't matter; we're putting an end to it. Higher-ups are taking a look. But for now, watch everyone like a hawk.
- Arina: Apparently some Astral Ward are stuck in the mursaat mirrors... (shrugs) Can someone scheck in on that for me?
- Astral Ward Protector: Yes, ma'am.
- Arina: Someone get me a report on the mursaat tower situation... Those things are really slowing us down.
- Astral Ward Protector: Yes, ma'am.
- Villager: There's a pinch of honey in there. You'll like it.
- Villager: Here, take a bowl. Little bit of fish broth with fresh vegetables from the village.
- Ward Member Bub: From one bad post to another... Is our luck that bad?
- Ward Member Sloan: Don't say that too loudly, or Arina will give us Underworld duty again. Remember that?
- Ward Member Bub: Don't remind me...
- Ward Member Sloan: I'm actually quite fascinated with our surroundings here... It is similarly intractable to Nayos.
- Lightborne Soldier: A true warrior needs a weapon for every day of the week.
