So when I was looking around Rata Sum today I went to the docks and noticed I saw a very faded, dark mountain in the far distance.. So I got as close as I could and took this picture:

So I opened it up just after and darkened it a bit and got this:

Here is where the picture is taken from on the map view (w/ speculation):

What do you think… Is this the edge of the ring of fire islands we see?

I think it’s pretty obvious. What else forms a large mountainous island in your FoV?

If it is then that’s kind of a neat tease. There are a lot of areas off shore that should be visible throughout the game but because of how it works it just usually looks like endless ocean (like, seriously, from Southsun Cove we should be able to see land all around us not a vast ocean). Anyway, I may have to check it out for myself.
