I'm going to ignore the last few pages of this thread and start on a different track. Yesterday, I watched my girlfriend get through the last few quests of 3.3 and so got to rewatch all the final cutscenes and it made me think a lot about Ala Mhigo and what comes next. I took a trip to East Shroud due to its geographical closeness, and wandered here:



This is more or less as close you can get to the great wall, and it has a prominent Garlean presence. Obviously all the interesting paths are blocked off, but I thought - might this be what will become the entryway into Gyr Abania later on? How different was this part of the Shroud in 1.0, and are there any quests now that talk about the region and what happened after the Autumn War?
