Looking for Istaria’s most beautiful scenery!

[Sonea]

I'm partial to the tree-covered walkways at Heart's Ease.. in Mia's Edge. I would be delighted to give you a tour sometime.

I have always liked many areas of Istaria, but everyone's tastes differ... so here are some shots I took, not necessarily the best painting angles.

Abandoned Island, looks a bit plain on these settings with the details up, and kenaf plants blowing it can look nice, I love the waterfall.

I love snow, so Mahagra has always been my favourite town. Definitely not a good painting angle.. but I can't find my more scenic screens.

The spire with some fog added.

And Mia's Edge is gorgeous, I could never get a good screen of it.

[velveeta]

can we nominate our own plots?
mine is in clearport, on blight......i am right on the water and have no neighbors......i should take some shots of it, as i am thinking of moving to 'a less remote spot' as a friend of mine calls it......

here is a not so scenic pic.....not my plots best side!


plot's good side....






lastly, the most beautiful place in horizons, to me, is the open area (on blight, anyway) next to the ports in brist. not just because it is nice scenery, but because it is the last place the mighty g.o.d. illy last appeared to his devoted followers:

Ice bridges are cool

Oooh where is that Shian?

[velveeta]

Ice bridges are cool

ooo shian, where is that?

bread and butter, tcei!!

[Takora Drakan]

Its not a bridge, its a ice tunnel, as far as i remember it was frest from mahargra at the coast, but i cannot check myself and my memory is dusty...

26808 29914 appx. You can see them on the map rather far north of Meadow hill.

On that note, on the top of that mountain there is an ancient dragon skeleton encased under the ice.

If you haven't seen it yet, head to the wizards tower. It's VERY tall, the entrance is picture-worthy and if you jump it feels like you can fly

I did alot of exploring this morning.

Best view of the game is from the desert village towards the tazoon souther wall. Or it used to be - they've changed the graphics, so now the walls are obscured in haze nomatter hoe long a viewdistance u use - I'm gonna try to dig up an old screenshot...

[Amerelium]

[Shian]

Oh wow! That is VERY pretty. Hmm... Alright, anyone have any jungle type areas that are SS worthy? Maybe we can put together a photobook showing the different climates of Istaria

[Tcei]

There are some nice spots in and around Sslanis. Especaily if you can get up on the wall

[lightning claw]

Take a good Look in side Serenity Points to Valtur's Lair inside you will see the Grad Halls of the Ancients Even throw they where a Pain in the tail scails to make and val was a Hard w.m. (Work master ) they are quite a sight.

[Amerelium]

go to the other beginner islands - they've got some nice spots - specially the one with the passage through the waterfall...

[Takora Drakan]

nice eh?

[velveeta]

[Aucus]

One thing to say for those pic: WOW hehe
