I really thought I'd have more to offer after milling it over for a couple weeks, but i really don't. I find it suspicious that the concept art released so far is from a place Yoshida isn't ready to talk about and contains one desert place, one forest place, and one seaside place. Hmmmmmm. But do I really want to make the logical leap to dimensional shift yet? I can make sense of it, but the assumptions start on the ground floor of the house of cards. Why wouldn't it just be Ilsabard? But if it was Ilsabard why wouldn't Yoshida talk about it? And I can make sense of Thancred saying "this place sure has changed" of a place he's been in another dimension or within Imperial territory, but nowhere else. Unless it's our Wings of the Goddess expansion.
