I really like to go through my quite big Paizo collection and look at the wonderful images of Golarion, but sometime I really don't know what it is there represented... I would like community to use this post to Q&A on this topic...
My first question is....
1) What is represented on page 72 of AP1 - Burnt Offerings?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hollow Mountain.
The site is partially described in "Dungeons of Golarion". It is indeed in Varisia, and is a relic from the empire of Thassilon.
WOW thanks a lot Urath you are right, I still have to review that volume even if it's already on my shelf.
On the same RotR first module I have another doub this time perhaps a little harder.
2) Which city are the two pathfinders visiting in the image on page 81 of Burnt Offerings?

I thought it might be Magnimar due to the clue in the letter on the previous page but it doesn't look quite right compared to what magnimar looks like on the map.
If it isn't Xin Shalast (It looks like it very well might be as the architecture seems right but you can't see the runelord carving) it is probably another Thasilonian ruin.

I don't think it is Xin-Shalast, because at 15,000 feet it's built above the Kodar Mts. tree line. That said, that art was likely commissioned before Spires of Xin-Shalast was written, so it could have been intended to represent that city.

I have always though it was representing a generic founding of a remote city done by pathfinders just to illustrate their adventuring life, perhaps this is the simple truth behind that image... Thanks a lot however, I'm sure I'll have more requests in next days because usually I have doubs on image identities once every week ^^

While not finished, pathfinder wiki has an Art index that I've been working on. You can click the product column to sort by product/page. Right now it's only complete up to the end of CotCT and a few of the modules/chronicles though.

Ok, the other art I have not tagged in that index is Escape from Old Korvosa pg 59

yeah, it's one of the two I couldn't place either... (which was also why I posted so that I could dot the thread)

Image on 72 would be Bakrakhan since the bridge is still intact. I would probably put the timeline at an end to the Thassilonian Empire with the first signs of it starting to sink.
I used to like the old footer notes for directly unlabeled images in some of the older products. It is sort of a shame that did not stick since it does get annoying trying to sort out what some of the more vague images are depicting. Relying on the wiki is helpful to a degree but it would be nice to know not only the real names for the character/items but also for all of the amazing artwork. If only an official archive existed but that is denied wishful thinking at best.
