Aside from the zone containing great exp/cash content for a wide level range (having vendors all around the zone is part of why it's good for making cash), it's so well designed and varied too. There are gnomes, kobolds, harpies, drakes, minotaurs, clockworks, elementals, casters, and a smattering of undead. There are peaks and vallies all over. The windmills are some of the most attractive looking structures in the entire game. The golden Dragon skeleton ruin is striking. The giant gears in the northeast corner of the zone are fun. The entrance valley to Akanon, with its mechanical look, is cool. Those mechanical touches throughout the zone contrast very well with how remote the zone actually is, and the amount of green coloring in the zone, creating a very unique dynamic.
