Coolest looking locale?

I'm just curious. I've played my share of MMO's and I've seen some pretty cool places, floating cities, energy beams, fire pits, ice lairs, what have you. I've never really gotten into this game back in the day on live, at least not enough to see any places outside the newbie zones and the main cities.

That said, what do you guys think is the "coolest" looking place on Shards of Dalaya. Whether it be a zone for hunting things, a specific city, whatever. Maybe include screenshots too? ;)
 
It's probably not considered cool looking but I always liked toxxulia forest, probably because I first started out there but it's got a good atmosphere.
 
Probably Prison of Admyrrza. It looks all crystal and is a pretty interesting zone lore wise also.
 
Plane of Air isn't half bad with all the floating furniture and rainbow at the end, minus the horrible tunnels, of course.

The zones i liked the most from live (played kunark-LoY) were Veeshan's Peak, Swamp of No Hope, and Mischef (another reason I've been so excited about the Iksith release since I started). For VP, you zone in on a sliver of rock over lava in a great chamber, and as you progress through the cavern/castle, you see lore on the walls and massive treasure troves. Mischef was a blast with all the hidden walls and puppets, and crazy mob names. The Swamp of No Hope was, I feel, the closest thing the game could come to a true swamp environment. Dank atmosphere and creepy sound effects, mosquito's and leeches, then there was the froglok city, and that cool GM event with the black dragon in the cave with the river. RIP awesome zone design of kunark =(
 
All the way down past dergelak there is a locked door. Past that locked door at the end of the zone there is a cool ass room. Nothing really to do in there though.

Out of the cities personally I always preferred the look of sadri out of all of them. Grobb was okay, though apparently their interior design was done by DeSade. I've never spent all that much time there though, as every time I do on aisling it requires me to murder most of the inhabitants.

Oh and if you have sky on and fall off the ledges in upper thaz air. Fights down there are totally awesome. It's just black all around with swirling purple mist in the background.
 
One of my favorite places (sadly not in game yet) is the LDoN from Everfrost with the Frozen Waterfall.

As far as in game currently... Heartland Undercavrens always seemed a intersting (if under used) zone.

lands of Bliss is another one... I kinda hate the tunnels as well but everything else is very nice.
 
I have not seen everything there is to see here, by far. But so far, I'd say that DN is the most aesthetically pleasing to me. On Live it was Unrest, cause it just creeped me out even though I got my arse trained off most often times I visited the zone. It was really satisfying when i first started here to get the same feeling of dread when I first zoned into SI here.
 
If by DN you mean Dragon's Necropolis, it is not based on Unrest. Shrouded Isle uses the Estate of Unrest zone. But I do think DN is an interesting zone.
 
Old World: That one epic room in Yaralith. With the water falling and the marble looking platforms.

New World: Tur'Ruj
 
I'm actually a big fan of Icewell keep. I think it's definitely under used... there are several interesting looking named dwarfs in there that don't even have anything to say. A couple quests at the first two guards and a couple quest drops down in the caverns and not much else there, but there's some pretty interesting rooms if you explore the keep (like the trophy room with various heads mounted on the wall).
 
Prison of Admyrrza, hands down my favorite zone in the game right now. it's just plain epic looking at every turn.

Only time I've seen that is the Youtube video in the SoD channel. It does look epic. I look forward to getting in there someday.

Watch out for when the high elf turns into a dragon.

Oh and watch out for the giant eyes, they summon Golems.

Except those other giant eyes who will just molest you.
