I think people gravitate to the "epic"-scale areas when asked these questions-- the two mentioned on Carrion Fields above (Nyathl Ikalith, which is half of a pair of large high-end areas, and the Inferno, which is an interconnected set of ten) are certainly two of the obvious calls in our game-- they're both large, intricate, dangerous, and packed with "big" stuff. They have a lot of thematic depth, along with huge deadly NPCs, carrying huge deadly equipment, amidst huge deadly traps, quests, and puzzles.

I'm a big fan of a few of our smaller areas that give a lot of bang for the buck-- Violet Woodlands and the Temple of Loch Grynmear. One of the things that's great about them is that they have a lot of the "draw" of the larger areas (puzzles, quests, layers of content that aren't immediately obvious, etc.), but they're aimed at novice adventurers. If you've never played our game before, it'll probably be a long while before you see any of the "exploration set" of areas, but you could conceivably see these two after playing only a couple sessions.
