I probably the least enthusiastic about the New World. We know the Whalaqee are from there, that it's rich in ceruleum, and that is has golden cities. All of those make it a prime target for others to conquer for resources and knowledge/heresy. I'm loathe to be subjected to the inevitable backlash of social media should they go that route or, conversely, should they use it as a basis for more preaching.

Meracydia I'm concerned is just going to be an inferior HW 2.0.

I suppose of the locations we've been teased I'd have to say Corvos sounds the most promising. Isn't it supposed to be the original homeland of the Garleans? I'd like to see that. Due to G'raha being from there maybe we'd learn more about the Eye of Allag along the way, which could be interesting.

I guess it doesn't matter much. I've never been a fan of Garlemald and expected to not like that section in EW, but it turned out to be one of the better parts of it. As long as it's well written and not preachy it should be fine, but I'm still going to be hesitant to get attached to any sympathetic antagonists. :P
