The Heavensward expansion has been my absolute favorite experience, and Ishgard my favorite city-state. I&#8217;m also a sucker for the Dragoon playstyle and dragons, so there has been so much in this expansion for me to enjoy. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-L1G_TWoMlT4\/WEtVHycg9qI\/AAAAAAAAEjw\/QjtdW1hNqj0EKqAkuBBRNfWjBD5EI0eMQCLcB\/s1600\/IMG_9781.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-L1G_TWoMlT4\/WEtVHycg9qI\/AAAAAAAAEjw\/QjtdW1hNqj0EKqAkuBBRNfWjBD5EI0eMQCLcB\/s1600\/IMG_9781.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\nAs the name states, this is&nbsp;the official art book for Heavensward.
