Posted January 6, 2021 Was wondering if anybody has some must see locations here on Xan. My deed is a definite work in process, so next year perhaps. But, I have seen many an abandoned deed that I find worthy to stop and take a look at. Abandoned deeds, active deeds, natural wonders, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 6, 2021 Yes, Eden Harbour at H23. Staggeringly beautiful deed. One of the first deeds on Xanadu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2021 Yeah, New Eden Harbour, like Ayuna says, is really lovely. In that area is also Seriphina's Lorewood Gardens, a really nice deed. And I'd say that seeing The Fortress at G17/18 is worth the trip. Also the White Castle/Black Castle complex at I26 has some really interesting features and buildings. If it's still standing, Aske's bridge in the lower left corner of F21 is unbelievable, just beware of traveling on it, as I've had a horse fall through the cracks and died trying to retrieve it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 9, 2021 Ya, New Market is one of the deeds I got some inspiration from for Syndicate (my deed). Lorewood Gardens I have passed by many times, never actually stopped and looked. Will have to do so soon. White/Black castle I pass by all the time. Very good. Good owner also. Fortress - thanks, will look it up Zenthea Market - will probably look it up as I sail to the Fortress Thanks all! More appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aske's bridge, and the route over the mountain are well worth seeing, sad to hear that it is crumbling away. It would have been well worth turning north once you get over to the west side of the mountains and travel over the mountains to see the bridges over the pass that the Ageless Tunnel goes beneath (E20). The zigzags of the old path still exist alongside the bridges, and make an interesting diversion when returning south. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 16, 2021 Lorewood gardens, well worth the visit. It was very foggy and nighttime while I visited so no screen shots, and Seriphina unfortunately was either not on or not at home. But, very nice! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2021 Spacy, when you use an Imgur link, right click and select 'open image in new tab.' That will give a .jpeg at the end. If you copy that link into the forum post, it will embed the photo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 27, 2021 Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler The Fortress p.s. Not a photographer or screen shot person typically. Ya, should have turned off 3rd person, checked the lighting, etc. If I do a few more I will try to remember. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 27, 2021 Spoiler View from the entrance to Isengard. As I came up to the gate, the 2 trolls and snake made the fact that the gate is locked ... interesting. Killed 1 troll then retreated, sicked the guards on the other on my way out. Looks like a very nice deed, from the little I saw of it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 31, 2021 kappa and its undercity Q15 ish area...huge underground city and hug city above ground also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2021 And sometimes the great fall. This was St. Absy's House of Madness, on the deed Kalaheo Village (I think - gone before my time I am afraid). The deed itself was nice. This structure, though, is probably one of the most impressive I have ever seen. I made a special trip to go back, as it was starting to decay when I first found it. Now, 2 months later, this building is about to disappear as well. 2 months from now, I doubt there will be anything left except the 8 obelisks that were inside. I got there just as night fell, and so my pictures are kinda dark, sorry. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler This last one shows what I am guessing was a maze. Someone who visited back in the day could probably verify. My guess is that the gates that made up the various "walls" all rotted away, and it left a field of 200 or so pillars (with a couple obelisks as well, that I am guessing were entrance and end points). So much that I am not able to show, the underground system is huge (a rival to Kappa), except it doesn't appear to have ever been finished. There are many ground level terraces that have connections though 2 tile wide tunnels, all of which are reinforced and where appropriate had bridges to handle drop shafts. The harbor (with a half finished Corbitta if anybody wants to finish it) is amazing. Very little was clad, though, so it just looks like raw stone. If you can imagine it finished it would truly be an impressive work. They even did an amazing job with pavements. I learned a lot from just looking at what they did. To the people of Kalaheo Village and St. Absy's, a salute. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2021 Sunrise Bay Market. OK, there is no amazing architecture, nothing in the way of landscaping that will be a WOW. In terms of a market, about the only thing I saw for sale were halter ropes.... But, if you are into collectables, this is the place to see. I think I saw one of every wagon and tall banner there. I was in a rush, so just a few quick snaps and on my way. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2021 House of Gunn Didn't stop, but the scale of what they have done from sailing by as you exit the canal is real nice. Spoiler 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 31, 2021 I regret to say that I lost my notes for the name of this deed. I didn't stop, but was impressed by the scale, and by the obelisk on top of the lighthouse. Didn't realize this could even be done. Spoiler Spoiler 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
