I'm setting up this thread just to discuss and finalise ideas on the known locations on our map that fall within the beta area.
All settlements within the developed regions are now complete barring a handful of interiors and quite a lot of AI in places. It's a priority to get the AI done so if anyone can help with these claims then I'd appreciate it: Claim: Unfinished AI and NPCs . However, we are now in a position to expand a little on that by looking at new locations, dungeons and some villages/towns.
The list is as follows:

The list is as follows:
- Asashpan - destined for construction in Throttlemesh Myre (the Mangrove region). The 'pan' suffix denotes that this is going to be a Hist Shrine.
- Ixototon - another one destined for Throttlemesh Myre but just outside of the proposed beta regions. This would probably be a village / plantation but I'm undecided whether to open this up until after the beta as I'd have to extend the boundary. It may be best to leave it.
- Greenspring - bang on the borderline between Murkwood and the Vudai Marshes. There is a little waterfall running out of Murkwood in this area (see the pic) but it may stretch a little bit beyond the beta region and I don't want to extend this further given the fact I've already done so and a release will really help the project. This might therefore be nudged a little to the West and made quite small. Rockspring is on the Southern border with the Talu swamps and almost as close whilst Murkwood tree city will be seen from a distance, enticing the beta gamer. =)
- Ossasoit - a Hist shrine in the Vudai Marshes close to Blackwood and the Everglades.
- Utateki - a Paatru village in the Western Vudai Marshes. At the moment, this lies very close to the proposed location for Fort Swampmoth which I'm not keen on having so close.
- Monago-Oag - Vudai Marshes. A tribal Argonian village perhaps incorporating the Sarpa and involving the Sarpa architecture. Even if this does not actually feature the Sarpa themselves in the beta, it can be the last known refuge before those in the village disappeared. We are only planning on having one Sarpa in the final beta which will be trapped inside Tenmar Wall's caves under the supervision of the Trillium Magnata.
- Gan-Jugu or Alten Corimont - All of those locations with 'Alten' used as a prefix will be of Barsaebic construction although we now have helborne's complete models and a special tower devoted to the 'Alten' locations whereas Gan-Jugu would be an Argonian settlement. Both of these are outside of the beta regions although it would be nice to have them and I'm pondering their exact location. As such, these are best left untouched for the time being, particularly considering the fact that I have well-established plans for Gan-Jugu that makes use of both the height map and KP's new rock models.
