 * I got the info from the "Description" of Divinity Coast (Location). I don't know where Talrath Stormcrush got that text from. Is it from an in-game source? --Tetris L 21:49, 29 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I assume he got it from the description on the travel map ("M"). --Tetris L 22:15, 29 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Note that Giant's Basin is also mentioned in the description of Beetletun. I'm pretty sure that Giant's Basin is the center one of the three big lakes north of Kryta and Maguuma.


 * I'm pretty sure that the game points at the eastern one of the three as Giant's Basin. Here is a screen cap I just took. If you take the road from Lion's Arch to the Ascalon Settlement, you will get to this fork in the road after you pass through the plain filled with Caromi Tengu patrols. If you look here you will see that at this fork, the sign points to the Ascalon settlement being NORTH and Giant's Basin being NORTH East (look at the character's compass). On the other hand, I cannot find any sign to "Giant's Basin" in the watchtower coast. The game's signs point at Giant's Basin being the eastern lake. --Karlos 17:40, 30 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Hmmm ... lately I started talking to the NPCs some more to get background information. They got some interesting things to tell sometimes. I'll chat with NPCs in Ascalon Settlement, Beetletun and Watchtower/Divinity Coast. Maybe I can find out some more and clarify this question. --Tetris L 17:48, 30 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * Fine, but in the mean time, the game points east. --Karlos 18:54, 30 Aug 2005 (EST)
 * I noticed yesterday that in the kick-off conversation of The Ascalon Settlement Damaris mentions that the Ascalon Settlement is "not far from the Giants Basin". This would support your interpretation that it's the eastern lake. Frankly, I don't know. --Tetris L 19:08, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
 * I believe what happened is that the one who put the signs and wrote that dialog is different than the one who made the descriptions for those outposts. OR that those outposes were meant to be on the basin and were then moved. Either way, I am more comfortable with the basin being the eastern one for now. --Karlos 21:08, 23 Sep 2005 (EST)
