With a 2:1 ratio of votes, Crystal Peak gets placed comfortably in the B tier.

*For those areas marked with an asterisk, they are a bit ambiguous, and here is my reasoning for including them (very long explanation):

>!For instance, Godhome and White Palace do not have in-game maps and are not technically "areas" on the map, yet will still be counted for the purposes of this poll. Colosseum of Fools and The Hive are both subsections of Kingdom's Edge, but The Hive is much more fleshed out with quite a few unique rooms and enemies, and is by all means a true area (it is just lumped in with Kingdom's Edge sometimes). Colosseum is a bit more on the edge but I decided to throw it in anyways :) As for Dirtmouth and King's Pass, some would consider them both to be subsections of Forgotten Crossroads, or at the very least both one area, but I consider them to be separate. Finally, The Abyss is technically part of Ancient Basin, but it is separate enough due to the different atmosphere and requiring of King's Brand.!<
