These giant floating stone monoliths serve as the central storytelling point for Celestial Hills, and questing here will set players on the path to learning the purpose of the stones, and whether or not they still hold power. And by unnatural, I mean they are clearly carved and marked, have legs, and are floating. Noonan relates the appearance of Celestial Hills to America's west, specifically "Wyoming's hills with Utah's rock formations." Some of the formations look a little unnatural, though. Although they're by no means arid, they don't have the same sort of lush feel, the same sense of enchantment or magic that seems to infuse Pora Elinu. The plant growth isn't dense though "The zones around Pora Elinu are mostly light forest with a number of ponds and glades." As a contrast, there's the Celestial Hills. The trees are filled with flowers and the marshland surrounding the wooded tower has vibrant, glowing palm-like plants. The area surrounding it looks extremely fertile.
The structure that the video above focuses in on seems to be a merger of actively growing flora and man- (or popori-) made structures. Pora Elinu's environment is very naturalistic. It will serve as a hub for players from the mid-twenty levels to the mid-thirties. The storyline he is referring to has a strong focus on the culture of the popori and the factions within Pora Elinu's government that are the cause, or victims, of civil unrest.
