My Review

What a fantastically evil place. You'll notice that the Angelique Desert consumes the majority of the right side of the map; I would avoid this area... it's a bit dry. Mount Barnabas, on the other hand, is located in the southwest quadrant and is a lovely place to visit -- if you like day-walking skeletons. Quentin Bay in the north has some nice deep water if you'd like to take your own life and Carolyn Island, brooding all by itself in the northeast corner, is a great spot to set up your summer home -- if the wolves don't get you, that is.

I tried to narrow it down to just two shots, but I really liked all three so they're all here. First, a sweeping view of the desert encroaching on the rolling hills of the mainland. Below, this is a massive floater complete with single tree. You can find it (as you can see) at -306.73.201. At right, the sheer and stately cliffs of Mount Barnabas.
