What about Woodland Cascades?
The woodland cascades contaied a Mursaat city, the one that Saul found the Mursaat in originally.
Furthermore the Isles of Janthir is believed to have been the Mursaat’s home, but since their race was nearly wiped out in it’s entirety by the Titans, there will probably be little but ruins there.

How do you know the Woodland Cascades have a Mursaat City? Nothing is known about this. Saul went into the Maguuma Jungle and found it there, as far as I know.
‘’Many have eyes, but few have seen.’’ – Scriptures of Lyssa, 45 BE
We don’t know where Saul was exiled to. Most think the Maguuma, some think Woodland Cascades. All we know is that he was exiled to a “forest” after a “week ride” – but a ride of what? Horses? Dolyaks? Boat? And which forest – in GW1, there were even forests within Kryta?
And even then, he was delusional when traveling, he could have easily stumbled through one of those mursaat teleporters. Current theory is that there was one south of Kryta which leads to the Isle of Janthir to the north, given that Saul is said to have traveled south to Janthir – could be that wherever he traveled to is the same place he was exiled.
If so, then we’re looking for a forested area to the south of Kryta during GW1’s time – pre-Cataclysm.
However, given that in the beta there was a location named Forest of True Sight which seems to be the original name for Talmark Wilderness, that is the most likely place for Saul’s exile. So it’s probable for the teleporter or city to be near there – which in GW2 would be southwestern Queensdale/northwestern Kessex Hills.
Regarding Janthir though, while players believe it was the mursaat’s home, all we know about its (former?) inhabitants is that those who lived there had the Gift of True Sight.
And regarding western Maguuma – just off of the map is a coastline, where we know humans once had a port as per Fort Koga. Beyond that we know nothing.
Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

We don’t know which direction Saul was exiled in or where he found the mursaat. We only know that it was a dense forest, so it’s likely that it could be woodland cascades, but that isn’t specified. Also, the Isle of Janthir is only claimed to be the location of a group of people who have the gift of true sight and that he got the eye from them, but at the time it was claimed to have been south, not North of continental Tyria. So he could have just gone to the ring of fire to get it from the mursaat, or, if he went to the Isle of Janthir, it is possible that he claimed the Eye from another people group that could have been friends, or possibly enemies of the Mursaat. There are too many unknowns about the Mursaat and their place of origins to say anything for sure.
