In Book I, the southern border of Crakamir doesn't let you pass, informing you (IIRC) that it would be too dangerous and you should save the journey for another day. Is that merely a narrative way of explaining an arbitrary, permanent border, or do you expect to allow passage later (whether in Book II or in a content update for Book I)?

I am thinking both your thoughts are correct. it is currently a block. However, I am sure there will be more exploration in II and expansions to I. Like with the Lighthouse. I am sure BW will be adding maps to this later.

There was an earlier post from BW suggesting that the lighthouse / boat might get 'opened up' in a subsequent patch, making E1 just a bit bigger. However that comment hasn't been repeated recently.

There was never any suggestion that you could go further into the infinite South. Or get through the 'not designed to be opened' gate in the NW either.

Actually, earlier today he confirmed to me that they're still working on it. See here.
