Third Starting Continent? (unfounded speculation)

[Havelock]

I have been absorbing so much information about the game over the last little while that I can't remember if this was official or not, but I recall talk of a third starting continent as yet undescribed. I also noticed a quote from Brad on the OF art board about kimonos. If there is a third continent, I would speculate that it's east-Asian themed. There has not been much along those lines in MMOs (the only thing I can think of offhand is the UO expansion), and it could make for good fun.

Anybody remember Deathlord from EA waaaaay back in the day? It was a Japanese-themed RPG similar to the Ultima series. The added flavor made for a very interesting gaming experience.

The kimono comment wasn't related to the game, as far as I know... but yes I seem to remember some hints about 3 starting continents.

Seeing as qalia is arabian themed it would seem logical to theme the third in some sort of asian motif. However, there are alternatives, like a native american theme. Or a artic theme and while thats been done before there is no reason not to do it again, better. Perhaps its something completely foriegn to this world, like some sort of chaos dimensional something-or-another. Who knows?
