✭✭Hew's BaneGlenumbra's boring and foggy. I prefer Hew's Bane with it's nice MQ, beautiful delves and great city that finally feels like city."I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty. People rarely comprehend the luxury of doubt... the freedom that comes with indecision. I envy you."

✭✭✭✭GlenumbraTotally Glenumbra.
Aside from my favorite banker, the delightful Ms. Stower, there is also the Wyrd Tree quests; which are some of my all-time favorites, not to mention the Witches Cottage, which, darnit, should be in the Wyrd Tree area and totally should have a cellar.
Heck, I've got to remember to post some shots of my version of that house - I kinda went a bit crazy with it; it's lush and lovely.Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.***Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis0 -

✭Hew's BaneI expect most people will probably go for Glenumbra, because it's a full zone, there's more to do and the questline really wasn't bad either, but since this is subjective, Hew's Bane still gets my vote. I really, really like Abah's Landing and the TG hideout, the TG questline as well and all the other TG activities (except for the timer in the dailies...). I guess I'd say I just have more fun in general in Hew's Bane
This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family!1 -

✭GlenumbraBest protag friendo. Best Molag side-kick. Lots of swamps. I do like main city of Hew, buuuuuut you know. Glenumbra is very dear to my heart.0 -
Seminolegirl1992✭✭✭✭✭Hew's BaneAs far as architectural design goes, Hew's Bane by far. It's such a fun place to explore. Furnishing items that can be bought from here are amazing. The storyline is fun. I love Glenumbra too but Hew's Bane stands out for those reasons.Edited by Seminolegirl1992 on January 25, 2020 7:26PM@Seminolegirl1992 PC/NA CP 2400+ PVE, PVP, RP, Housing: Tel Galen, Fair Winds, Moon Sugar, Grand Psijic, Forsaken, HOTLC, Bastion, Ravenhurst, Gardner, Alinor, Hakkvild's, Gorinir, Kragenhome, Hundings, & more- feel free to come see!

✭Hew's BaneI found this tough because Glenumbra is beautiful and the quest line is amazing. If Hew's Bane was as full it would be slightly easier to choose but it's a much smaller zone. I do love both pretty much equally for different reasons.0 -

To be honest - when I visit Abah's Landing for the guild traders, I sigh as well - out of frustration because they're placed at a supremely inconvenient spot. The city is one of the best in all of ESO but its trader location is really bad.1 -

The Guild Trader location in Abah's Landing seems to serve two explicit purpose: First, it's horribly inconvenient to most people. Second, it whispers gently in my ear to not regret buying Princely Dawnlight Palace.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭GlenumbraI can't believe people think that a half zone is better than a full zone.
Oh, well.
I'm voting in this contest as though the question is, "If the game were to be reduced to one and only one zone, which of the existing zones do you think it should be?" So I'm trying to put aside my personal likes or dislikes about each zone, and vote impartially on the basis of how much territory there is to explore and how much playable content there is, especially content that's repeatable.I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

But any half-zone is better than Glenumbra.
I hate Glenumbra.
Also, that's not the way I take the poll. It's very much about personal likes and dislikes. Lack of content will influence whether I like a zone or not (it's not just visuals, so bugger off, Jerall Mountains
), but it's only part of the appeal (or lack thereof). Edited by Varana on January 28, 2020 7:09PM0 -

Jerall Mountains is underrated beauty. I’d 100% want it to be a player home as is, burnt out house and soldier encampment included.#FiteForYourRite Bosmer = Stealth
