maybe its a mountain on the battle isles. or it could be abbadon's mouth in the ring of fire islands. or it could be a cloud formation, that would explain why it shows up in multiplt places.

I saw it once while helping a guildie in Kourna. I did not spare a thought for it dismissing it as a cloud but looking again i realise it is indeed a mountain not a cloud and it is in game.

Good observation...i really need to pay attention to the tiny details of the Guild Wars world

Look at the texture and the shape. It can't be a cloud.

I think that Arena net will want to build on the ability to turn into a creature for a few missions so they might add the ability to turn into a dragon because you have to fly to get to the top of that mountain in the next game. Its only a wild guess but it would be awesome to be a dragon for a few levels. It would probably be too expensive to and break most peoples graphics cards, even so it would be nice.

Also, the mountain can't be the Shiverpeaks.



That's the general direction the mountains are, and as you can see it's quite far from the Shiverpeaks. Pure speculation here, but the mountain could be from the land north of Tyria. If the rumours that GW4 will take place in the lands north of Tyria, maybe we're looking at a Norse theme afterall.
Wow I hope that is right, and if it is that far north, that is FING HUGE HUGE HUGE Mountain

Even if the first picture was altered, there's still the one I posted which shows a similar mountain...

Wow, that is very interesting.

A few comments:
  • If this is an actual (enormous) mountain somewhere to the northwest of Elona, why can't it be seen from Tyria, where it would be closer?
  • Could this be related to the 'black dot' that appears on the map after the completion of Nightfall?
  • I just remembered something that Bahltek, the mysterious NPC in Istan said. Here:
    Quote:
    I'm trying to view the stars for some investigations I am conducting...
    The gods can be seen in the heavens... to varying degrees. They've emblazoned their marks upon the firmament, and these marks are not constant.

    ... there are dimensions out there other than the one we currently inhabit. This ship is clearly an echo of one of those dimensions.
    Could this be relevant? Is this huge mountain part of the heavens, or another dimension? Is this Shangri-La, the mythical mountain utopia, or even Guild Wars' Mount Olympus?

Well, take what you will from my ramblings.

I do think y'all are thinking to far into this, it is likely just a skybox texture

Haha, I already tried applying some logic to this thread before. Ah well, let them have their fun.

Possibly, but nowadays it's a crater - the city in question was Arah, which also became the capital of Orr.
