I still remember this one from earlier in the thread ...

It's the Tengu Accords. Noone would guess it only because you're giving them false information.

The Bonus Mission Pack missions are their own; they don't belong with any of the campaigns.

The rock's location is still to be figured out.

Also, neither guess was close. Visually close, but geographically way off.

Next time, I'd suggest you don't use a bit of scenery that's so well known.

There's nothing wrong with using a screenshot of well known places, is there? So what if everyone can get it right away?

Fun part of this thread is seeing the snazzy scenery and remembering being there, maybe even deciding to go back and visit!

Every once in a while you get one that you don't remember ever seeing. Those are great, sure, but with the mapping titles so popular now there are a lot of folks that have been all over.

Besides, there's no such thing as too many pictures from Talmark Wilderness!

I know Sorn's is somewhere in Kryta, but I can't remember where for sure. Gonna guess D'Alessio (sp?) Seaboard.

Here's a couple I took recently. First one should be really easy I think.

I also thought D'Alessio Seaboard

OK, not sure how difficult this will be - it is a little different from most of this thread, so may be nearly impossible to guess ... but it could be easy for some too. We'll see.

Great thread but it has been done for some time by several other forums - love the screen shots though
