Very fun findings here.
I don't think it's a "real" mountain. A Mountain of that size and viewable from that large of a distance is unreal. Surely, a mountain of that size would touch the atmosphere and a bit beyond.
What I do however believe is what Symeon posted, that this could be the "Olympus" of Tyrian World. This could be a glimpse into another dimension, but this surely can not be a "real" mountain of Tyria. Immensely silly if it is...but totally awesome if it's the "Olympus" of Tyria, which would indeed be curious if Chapter 4 is Norse and Northern theme...

Well, I think it is possible that they're real mountains... plural. The one seen from Jahai appears to have had a candidate picked out. The one from Fahrunar... could be on an island to the northwest of Istan.
Or, of course, it could just be a reused graphic the devs weren't expecting players to notice.

I have to say, it just looks like a cloud that looks like a mountain to me.

Well, take what you will from my ramblings. |

I must ask, what is this "Black Dot" that is being spoken of after completion of the game?

Just a thought but does anyone remeber the old Login Screen. The one where your character is standing on a pedistul in the middle of the ocean. If i remeber correct, i believe there was actually 2 sets of mountains ranges, one that was easily identified as the Shiverpeaks, and another i couldnt figure out. Ofcourse there was also the ring of fire, but that would be hard to mistake as a ice caped mountain. I dont know, just a thought.

Dont know if u guys can see with ur graphics card but i noticed when some clouds cleared taht the mountain range runs for a while, if u look to the left of it u can see where the water meets land. Now obviosuly this is a huge land mass that were talking about. I ran from both sides of the city near the water and this land mass went as far left and as fart right as i could see. Were not talking about any thing in tyria here either. The direction of the mountain and stuff are completly wrong. Were looking at a whole new continet. Here im posint a pic with this.

No, it is not the Ring of Fire. And that pic is hilarious.
If it isn't just a skybox texture, it would have to be a whole new continent or island. And it is more West than it is North. There doesn't seem to be anything but water out there, but plenty of room to build a new chapter in the game.

You cannot see it from just any location in the first city.....if you go to the place where the flame traps are and edge over to the wall you can see it in the distance.

ok i have beaten nightfall and i dont see this black dot at all
nor have i ever do you have to get masters on all missions orsomething

Yea the Black Dot perplexed me. I was hoping that it would lead to the elite area in the form of Atlantis-like antics but that was shot down with Mallyx.
It is quite perplexing.

For those who don't care to go running around Fahranur to see the mountain, you can just visit Jahai Bluffs to see it. Right outside Kodonur Crossroads, look to northwest.
Laenavesse
well Missmelady's pic definitely proves it's NOT a cloud. whether it's a sky texture, however, is still up in the air.
in answer to whether or not you should have mastered missions to see the black dot, I'm going to say yes.
I was able to see it on my sin and she had mastered all of the missions and had beaten NF. My monk, however, has beaten NF but has NOT mastered all of the missions yet.
though i don't know why that would factor into anything..o.O; it could also be ranking in the titles...i know my sin is farther than my monk in terms of LB and Sunspear, but I don't know o.o
and they're both canthan born so that rules out whether or not the character is foreign or native.

The mountain can be seen from inside Kodonur Crossroads as well as in Jahai Bluffs. It is less distinct but it is quite visible when looking Northwest.
pnumm
It can also be seen from nightfallen jahai

Nice one. Also good to see some love for the old Ascalonian encampment char selection screen from further back in the thread.

After reading about Baltehk (or however you spell it), the direction he faces (from my observations) is towards the direction of those mountains. Ive only seen him once, but im pretty sure that large image wasnt there before, its so noticeable

I see several distinct possibilities, or any combination, there of:
-there is no spo...err mountain, in truth, nothing is real.
-it is a UFM, but hard evidence is lacking and eye witness reports are unreliable.
-it's a weather balloon
-Gwen lives up there.

Deldrimor aint teh Shiverpeaks and Deldrimor is not directly above the Shiverpeaks. It's just "north" of it.

I will now have a new desktop background thanks to this thread. Screen-huntin' time.
Kinda reminds me of Actraiser for some reason...I guess seeing an icy mountain in the middle of the sea reminds me of the ice-tree stage.

I watched the clouds pass the "mountain" right outside of kodunur crossroads in Jahai Bluffs, and I think it points to that western mountain range beyond the desolation.
As for the one from Fahranur, not sure if that is in the right direction.
