Sometimes I wander into a beautiful area that looks like it must be private or intended for roleplay, but there it is for all of us to enjoy. The Friedlander regions are like that — impressive builds, beautiful scenes, and things to play with, but you get these feeling that you’re playing in someone someones back yard.
The first thing that draws you in is the lovely and enormous sculpture of a young woman, but look down at the water…
Animated whirlpools! When you think of it technically it wasn’t that difficult an effect to achieve given the right texture, but it draws you in nonetheless. You just want to dive into the center of it…

Just… wow. It’s a building… with a kind of Victorian storybook shipbuilding aesthetic. I can’t quite describe it, but…. wow.
Oh, look for the cannon in front of the building and see how far you can shoot yourself.
