    Stormhaven holds my alliance's capital, and it's where I go to turn in my crafting master writs. Plus, the bank in Wayrest is a great place for looting. Oh, who am I kidding? I love Stormhaven just because it's part of High Rock, which is where my main character hails from.

    But despite that, I'm voting for Northern Elsweyr because it's larger and has more to do. :)

    people often forgot there's a huge lush, tropical rainforest feel to N. Elswyr on the south/southwest region... its not ALL desert :lol:

    honestly the design and art reminds me of Indonesia. i think they kinda mentioned its part of their inspiration too (South East Asia region), which is cool.

    Stormhaven is... well... its beautiful. just like many other similarly-designed regions in all fantasy-setting games.......

    Stormhaven is nice and all, but I like Anequina's subtropical climate and fauna better. Also dragons. And lots of used car dealer-- er, I mean Khajiit. I like Khajiit.

    And, most importantly, Alfiq. They are just too damn cute. I'm a dog person, but if I had a cat, I would totally dress him up like an Alfiq at least once.

    I don't like the terrain in Elsweyr, except a few of the greener parts, Stormhaven on the other hand is always bright and cheery, easy to navigate, and it holds Wayrest, for which I have a soft spot :smile:

    Akatosh, I hate this round ! Can't I vote for both ? (There were rounds where I didn't vote for either, so I'd be even again.)

    But as much as I love the DC regions, Northern Elsweyr is just so beautiful ! Both have great quests, but in Elsweyr I get to travel and work with Tharn again. Okay, I really didn't need all that dragon stuff, dragons in ESO just don't interest me in the least (apart from Akatosh, of course), but thankfully the land of the Khajiit has to offer much more than some shouting lizards...
    So, with all due respect to my High King (which I happen to like, unlike many others), this round goes to Queen Khamira and her wonderful purring "r".

    This was a little tough because Stormhaven had one of my favorite dungeons, Scalecaller Peak, but it was added to the zone later and overall I feel that NE's quests were more memorable and it is quite beautiful. :)
    My #1 wish for ESO Today: Decouple achievements from character progress and tracking.

    I would have voted for NE. Its southern part is very nice, Merry-quest and Vastarie are welcomed. But I don't like ESO dragons. Final quest of NE story (you know where) is rather bad too from gameplay point of view.
