The Seven Wonders of the (Guild Wars) World
During the Classical age, scholars compiled a list of the seven most impressive works of mankind of wich they were aware. These wonders inspired awe and, well, wonder in all those who saw them. So my question is, which spots in the game have most impressed you? Which areas when you first saw them made your jaw drop?
This is my list: Tyria * The Great Northern Wall * The Temple to Grenth in Lonar's Pass * The Falls (both the waterfalls and the Temple to Balthazar) Cantha *The Raisu Palace Elona *The Hidden City of Abashadhim (or however you spell it  )* The Garden of Sebohrin * The Mirror of Lyss |

We could do something like what happened at Lisbon last saturday, the election of the new wonders of the world. We would gather votes from people in all gw, and announce the winners at a great gala, just like what happened at the Mursaat Rally. That would be so cool. We could get Gaile to send her fireworks, choose famous people from the world of gw to present the wonders... This could be amazing. What do you think?

Can I make a list of "The Seven Wonders of One Continent"? Ok, thanks.
 Tyria: -The Great Northern Wall -Wizard's Tower (Kessesx Peak one, not Wizard's Folly one) -Temple of Balthazar -Temple of Grenth -Tomb of the Primeval Kings -Female Warrior Statue in the Arid Sea -Door of Komalie Cantha: -Raisu Palace -Nahpui Quarter -Tahnnakai Temple -Arborstone (despite the mission being so evil) That's it. In all honesty, Cantha doesn't have that many special places. Elona: -Fahranur, the First City -Gandara, the Moon Fortress -Fortress of Jahai (or the parts we can see) -Garden of Seborrhin -Sebelkeh Basilica -The Hidden City of Ahdashim!!! -Dynastic Tombs |

#1. The Statue in the Arid Sea
#2. The Tomb of Primeval Kings #3. Abaddon's Mouth #4. Cathedral Zu Heltzer #5. The Harvest Temple #6. The ruins of Fahranur, the first city #7. The Bone Palace of Palawa Joko Many of these were arbitrarily selected as much as anything, but distinctly chosen for having been deliberately fashioned... rather than natural structures.... and also quite old and important. Other noteworthy mentions: The Mural of Balthazar in Pockmark Flats The Great Northern Wall The Temple of Tolerance The Floating Tower of Kessex Peak Majesty's Rest Droknar's Forge Sorrow's Furnace Raisu Palace Tahnnakai Temple The Great Tree of Ferndale The Ruins in Drazach Thicket The Eternal Grove Gandara, The Moon Fortress The Hidden City of Ahdashim The Remains of Sahlahja I think that about covers it. There are other pretty places.... but I wouldn't reckon them valid for this. |

Eye of the North wonders, although not necessarily man-made:
1) Hall of Monuments 2) The burning forest 3) The Charrs' towers after I've burned them the ground (lol - sweet revenge!) 4) The ruins around Rata Sum 5) The hearthstead ruins in Jaga Moraine |
