Owlexander Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Look at this: http://i.imgur.com/XTAkm5N.jpg In the red circular area, there are lines and form what look to be like squares. Could this be where the temple where the Mask of Creation is kept, or something else?

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well seeing as how it is in the land of water it is possible that it is the water village. Though with the clouds obstructing the view of the selected location this is speculation on my part..

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 true, but that I relative to the perspective as to how you are viewing it. I suspect with the lack of industrial pollution the water is quite clear. Thus you could see it from above. Even though it is under water, by however much.

ToaKapura1234 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Oceans are not opaque from pollution. There is algae and fish and all kinds of minerals and junk floating around in it.

Though need I direct you to the Great wall? Supposedly it can be seen clearly from space. This is hardly such a distance.

Rooster Nui Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I don't know. It's fishy, because of all things, the cloud/s have to be over that area while the rest of the island is clearly visible. I'm going to assume that area is of some importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Rahkmaninoff Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Well, the southern tip, in the Region of Jungle, is also slightly obscured by clouds. So equally likely something could be hidden there. It is a little fishy, I guess. But keep in mind also that anything not seriously massive isn't going to be visible on this map - the ancient city can barely be discerned. An important building, shrine, or even village wouldn't even need cloud cover to be hidden from view; it would just be so insignificant compared to such a large landmass that at this scale it would be indistinguishably small. There could just as easily be important things anywhere there isn't cloud cover and we wouldn't see them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 This is true based on the logic of size in relation to outside objects. If the village is just say 10 meters in size verses the island that is 10,000 you likely will not see much of it on the map. If at all. That being said I suspect that whatever that is it must be quite large since it is as clear as any of the rivers or mountain structures.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hmmm I think it could be just a village. Isn't the Mask of Creation located at the Ancient City? And according to some materials (like the app game) that is located in the center of Okoto. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharnak the Bohrok Lord Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think it's actually part of the texturing for the clouds. You can see similar lines in the cloud south of Okoto, along with other weird details. It's probably nothing unless you can tell me why that cloud looks like it's surrounded by shards of glass.

2Tie Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Okoto from the cartoons for reference: note the area under the cloud in the CGI render is a darker, hilly area in the animation version. This dark is also used for the islands.Do I think there's ruins or something in there? Well, I don't deny it, we'll see. :3As for the white lines, I'd chalk it up to whitecaps and such, since the water around there is much shallower. The curvy light section is definitely a beach.

Mailli Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I think the mask would be somewhere in the central mountains. The lost city thing is in a mountain/crevasse area, so the centre of the island seems appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 A. The Great Wall is bot underwater andB. That is completely urban legend, not a single picture of it visible from space exists.Fair enough. Though like most urban legends there are in fact images out there. The thing about the Great wall is that after a certain height it would be hard to tell it from any other natural land formation. As would be expected with something even of its size. Like looking for a single strand of hair on a carpet, you can see it, but you don't know that's what it is until you zoom in(get closer). I think it's actually part of the texturing for the clouds. You can see similar lines in the cloud south of Okoto, along with other weird details. It's probably nothing unless you can tell me why that cloud looks like it's surrounded by shards of glass.I honestly could not tell you in truth. I looked over the original image and I see them lines as well as what could even be a submerged structure. The dark shaded area near the region of jungle appears to be a shadow cast from the overlaying clouds. This does no explain the Geometric shape seen in the same area. Stray lines could be cast aside as waves breaking or even cloud trails, bit geometric shapes usually are not made naturally. They look a little too uniform if you get my drift. Okoto from the cartoons for reference: note the area under the cloud in the CGI render is a darker, hilly area in the animation version. This dark is also used for the islands. Do I think there's ruins or something in there? Well, I don't deny it, we'll see. :3As for the white lines, I'd chalk it up to whitecaps and such, since the water around there is much shallower. The curvy light section is definitely a beach.Are we still talking about the jungle region or did you move back to the water one? I guess I should not point out that this image is a bit less detailed than that of the Opening post. That being said we definitely would not be seeing any Protector made structures unless they were extremely huge or important. The white structures in the water I can agree are waves or water currents(White caps you called them?). As there doesn't seem to be any cloud cover it could be said the darker shades of water are a deeper part of the ocean as a whole. In the original image there is another of these break lines just off the North-West coast of the Stone/Earth region divide. It is flying(floating) solo so leads further credit that this one is more of a wave break or wisp of a cloud. So I guess we can say that there are at least two possible underwater structures that could have been built by the Protectors. Seems logical that the one south of the island could not be the water village since it is more the region of Jungle. So if by chance we actually are getting signs of a settlement in the Water region why could it not be the actual village? I mean it is thought that it is under water right? Though this brings up an interesting question... If the Village is under water then how do the other types of villagers visit if they wanted to or the need arose? I mean either this Gen's character don't breath and need oxygen; or there must be means of existing there. Are the Water villager's gilled or does their mask allow for water breathing? I mean in Gen1 the village was floating above the water so any of the others could visit. This time it is not though? Interesting to think about yes?

Lyichir Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Yes, I think you're overanalyzing. Look at the edge of the cloud at the very bottom of the map. It's not as pronounced as in the area you're referring to, but on the edge of that cloud there are a few similar "streaks". And a different sort of "artifact" appears in the south-central area of the Region of Fire—note the more lightly-colored rectangular area. Suffice to say that the map artwork is far from flawless, and trying to read any hidden meaning into small imperfections is probably ill-advised.

CarumEsSarene Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Well, regarding the location of the masks. Each of the three masks follows a cultural theme that matches two of the elements. The mask of shadow is regarding medieval Gothic. So would be located between the areas for Earth and Fire.The mask of creation, however, is more tribal. Regarding ancient Incan society. So as such it is most likely between the areas of Jungle and Water.Whether the clouds are intentionally obscuring potential locations is most unlikely. Though I think it more so is used to cover locations to be later seen in a future add-on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
