Just starting a topic here where people can list the top 5 places they would most like to explore in the world of Arcanis. I cannot say in any way that this list will be used by PCI to generate adventures, but it is still fun torturing ourselves anyway. As to how you choose your top 5 is up to you. I am choosing mine based on the neat adventures I can see there.

In no particular order. . .

1. City of Golems
2. Temple of the Hidden Star
3. The Khitani Empire
4. The Citadel of Nier/The Silence
5. The Black Moon

1. To quote Rocket Raccoon "Oh Yeah!"
2. Ditto
3. Been pestering Henry for this since the first year of the old 3.0/3.5 campaign
4. For those with a death wish...trust me on this one.
5. Probably the same as 4.

One thing that has surprised me is the lack of coverage for the Western Lands. We had Metra (which for me--no offense to anyone!--was the place I least wanted to go). To me there are far more interesting and exotic places to explore (Shadow Towns anyone? ) I also still want more mods sent in and around Enpebyn, Solanos Mor, Censure, and believe it or not Grand Coryan (but especially Old Coryan).

1/2) Treslau & Nevane. The two cities in Almeric are too big to be in much jepordy from smaller neighbors but might have dangerous internal divisions & trouble feeding their populations. Should be big opportunities for adventure here.
3) Tralia. Home of my favorite vals
4) Magra. How have the pirate Isles evolved post Freeport
5) Blackwand. I want to see their Pantheonist Church in action. Also can check on Marcus Lepidus Val Assante's story...or confirm that he is full of "poop"

The more exotic locations I assume we have to wait for Henry. But most writers could do something with these 5. But if we're looking for mystery sites we want to explore and plunder....5 1/2:
Matawab!

1. The black moon
2. The southern continent
3. Khitani
4. The city of monkeys (one from the Brass Monkey idol description in FiM)
5. Temple of the Hidden Star

1. Further explorations deep beneath the First City
2. The Lost Ruins of Balamshal
3. The Citadel of Nier/Silence
4. The Green Moon Viridis
5. The Black Moon Aperio

1. A pilgrimage to all 12 holy cities.
2. Khitani Empire
3. Western Lands proper (not just the satrapy)
4. Abessios
5. The Pirate Isles

In no particular order:

1. The Citadel of Silence
2. The Vrain
3. Viridis
4. Aperio
5. Dar Zhan Vor

Also in no particular order

1. The City of Golems
2. The Sunken Myrantis
3. Forgotten Akrosia
4. Cold Fens (it's a forest in the farthest north of the Unsealed lands)
5. The Blackwood (it's another forest on the East coast of the Unsealed Lands)
I want #5 because the source books indicate a very dangerous foe is asleep there.

1. Ethelios.
2. The Vastwood.
3. Viridis.
4. Aperio.
5. Khitai.

Honorable Mention for Abessios under it's new power structures.

We have access to and will be further exploring the First City, so I'm going to leave it off my list. Here are mine in no particular order:

1. Yhriwhon - the Sky Kingdoms
2. Blackwand and the functional old Pantheonistic practices
3. Dar Zhan Vor
4. Lost Temple of the Hidden Star
5. Aperio

Honorable mentions to Khitan & the Labyrinth of Time.

With a sweep of his hat,

Paul
