Inner Nayos is a zone introduced with the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure expansion and the Through the Veil release, being released in three parts. It is located lore-wise within Nayos and the Mists, but mechanically found in the Horn of Maguuma.

Nayos, the Realm of Dreams, is the home of the Kryptis demons and purportedly the original home of the mursaat before their exile. The environment consists of both natural and twisted, bloody landscape influenced by Midnight King Eparch's corruption as he rules from the ominous Citadel of Zakiros, and also contains grand architecture inspired by the styles of other worlds that Eparch wants to mimic, notably Tyria. The Astral Ward have set up an encampment here after the Kryptis invasion of Tyria, using it as a staging ground to rally sympathetic Kryptis rebels to their cause in order to take the fight to the heart of Eparch and his loyalists' domain.

Getting there

All options require the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure expansion:

• Complete Duress, the eleventh chapter of the Secrets of the Obscure story.
