Exploring the area around Shiro?

I can't seem to find away to explore around the edges in the Imperial Sanctum. There's only one point that takes you close to them, and that's when Shiro banishes you. How does one go about exploring the edges of the map, whether through playing the mission or getting there from an explorable area?

The only way is to go into the mission and get banished.

Well I got banished 3 times, and always to the same spot with no visible way to reach the other areas.

You can't explore the other areas.

Ah well, even if you can't get it, I have another problem. I can't seem to find a way down to the bottom of the black-ish looking charred area of Xuqaung Skyway. On the 100% maps it's explored, but when I scraped the edges I couldn't reveal it.

It's probably not an old map - people have been playing with the textures for quite a while and it is possible to remove *all* the fog - though since it is just a texture thing it doesn't change your title. You will note that mountains and *everything* in that map is unfogged - there are many many areas there that you can not get too.

If you are looking for that list little bit you are going to need to do like everyone else - find a map that is a *real* 100% explored one and compare pixel by pixel by flipping maps back and forth, or you can download one of the explorer's texmod packages from the Wiki.

In any case calling people who have actually done the whole grandmaster cartographer thing a liar because you think they may be wrong isn't going to get people jumping out of the word works to be helpful, especially true when you were the one factually challenged.

I think that's the undercity? Do you mean this area?

Xaquang Skyway overlaps that area and you can only reach it from Wajjun Bazzar and Bukdek Byway.
