Illsabard locations to get to Garlamald ?

Corvos might be visited, as it was the homeland of Zenos' swordmaster, the first person who ever truly challenged Zenos (from the Zenos short story). And since the WoL vs Zenos plotline is taking center stage in Endwalker, it would make sense to visit Corvos and maybe get a little more backstory on the beginnings of the conflict.

To be specific, the Stormblood trailer started with the sparring in Rhalgr's Reach in Gyr Abania, then zoomed out to the world map, panned over to the Far East with a dramatic shot of Ilsabard along the way, and then the clouds over the Hingashi portion of the map receded. (The Othard portion was already uncovered, and we also had a dip into the Ruby Sea.)

So it's entirely possible that the additional footage in the completed Endwalker trailer could have the clouds over Ilsabard recede too, revealing the land underneath. It's also possible this doesn't happen, but as of now, we don't know.

Camera focusing in on us fighting somewhere in Thavnair, camera pans down, Tremors style dirt dive tunneling straight down to piping hot oceans of lava and red rock as far as the eye can see...

Camera turns back up, shoots through more dirt, comes out straight in ruined Garlemald :P

Antitower (Hard)

I am hoping we get at least 2 other areas in Islabard since Orthard got 3 regions. It is possible Dalmascus might be a region since it is on the map now but it might also be saved for its own story. But since this is the the end of the season 1 storyline I would like to see the clouds removed entirely from the map of the three continents so we can have a complete map for future adventures, also more Islabard locations with cultures we have heard about for a while now interests me a lot more then an underground area probably just filled with monsters. We also had that leak of the Garlean Aetheryte and I feel there will be a lot more of those then just one area similar to Orthard having its own Aetherytes.

I'm not expecting to visit any other locations in Ilsabard (except maybe Dark Tu'Lia, which would technically be in Ilsabard, but isn't REALLY what we're talking about here). While it's entirely possible of course, I don't think it's necessary from a narrative perspective. The capitol is close enough to the coast that travel by air or sea from Sharlayan (or an epic base jump from the moon :p) seems sufficient.

We got three areas in Othard in an Othard (and Gyr Abania)-focused expansion. This expansion is confirmed by Yoshi-P to be hopping around to major areas we've heard or and are somewhat familiar with. Assuming we don't get more than the usual 6 zones and that Sharlayan does happen with how hard they've been foreshadowing it, that wouldn't leave any more zones left.

I'm hoping for at least two but we'll see.

Assuming 6 zones based on ever other expansion, we have Thavnair, Garlemald and the Moon at the very least.

Depending on how things are split up, we could potentially get like, two moon zones, three ilsabard zones, one thavnair zone etc but we'll have to see. We may not know until May if even then if they want to keep the last zone a secret like in SHB.

I think the moon is the last zone, then again I always felt it would be the final mystery zone in 6.0 and it is revealed now. I also think the moon will just be one zone, kind of like the Tempest where the first part is the surface and the second part (the one they keep secret) is the Subterrane with all sorts of otherworldly looks for it just like the Tempest had the basic underwater area then the true secret area Amurot. I personlly hope it is 1 Sharlyan zone on the Island (with the main city being the big city) 3 Islabard zones, 1 Thravnir zone (this was already confirmed the entire island is 1 zone so we may be looking at larger zones as well) and the moon as the final zone with a tempese like split between the surface and Subterrane.
