I’m hoping a mention of Solution Nine will come up to shine a little bit more light on it so we won’t be left in the dark until summer but I won’t hold my breath. I’m also wondering how early we’ll go there. SB, ShB, and EW all had their endgame hub accessible in the very beginning of the expansion which is why I’m thinking they revealed it to us this early.
By flaming bits of Solution 9, do you mean the dungeon concept art they showed during the NA fanfest?



Can't say for certain, but it looks like a train smashed straight through one of the walls at the base of the big pillar we see next to Heritage Found. We know there are trains that travel through that area and maybe even back and forth to Shaaloani. My guess is this is how the WoL and crew will get into S9, working their way up the pillar and into the city(?) proper. Would probably be a dungeon.

I am very interested in the battle sites we see in what looks to be Yak T'el. We know that area is home to the primary settlements of Tural's Hrothgar, so I wonder if they're in conflict with one another, or another people or beast tribe.

Those big craters blown out of the cliff in Urqopacha are interesting. I don't think we've actually see them in any of the in-game footage yet, but we do see the same cliffside present in the concept art. Wonder what did, or ends up doing, that.

My first thought was detonation of cerulean deposits in the cliffside, as I'm willing to bet that imposing mountain we see in the background of the area art will end up being the site of the dungeon where we see all of the flowing crystal formations. To me, that looks like what crystalized, or frozen, cerulean might look like. That dungeon itself looks very volatile, so I wonder if it's having an effect on the surrounding area.

My other thought was some big thing blasted the mountainside with weapons, and my mind went to the Eliminator, since we saw both at the fanfest. Very interested in that, and especially for whatever politics are going on in Yok Tural, which is not something I thought I'd be hyped for going into Dawntrail, but the more I see the more I want to know.
