This is awesome! Thanks for the hard work.

It sticks out to me just how weird it was that the Edur sailed all the way to Callows in MoI.

Is that red line an actual equator equivalent? Bit weird seeing ice fields on the equator, and Seven Cities up so far north, or is the positioning of the map in relation to poles etc unknown at this point?

Awesome piece of work though!

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

It is. If this was Earth Quon Tali would be north-east Africa and Lether would be in the southern Pacific Ocean way off the coast of South America.

The ice fields were magically created by the Jaghut. The odhans and deserts in Seven Cities are magical creations, either resulting from the devastation of the First Empire's collapse or from the Jade Statues which basically created Otataral Island.

An extension of the southern polar continent, taken from Steven Erikson's original maps.

Kind of a head scratcher for me. But then it's not like I'm any kind of expert on the geography. I hadn't ever considered the Lether continent to be southern hemisphere... I guess I always forget that the icy areas are magically created, since I'm so used to thinking of ice as polar.
Laseen did nothing wrong.

If Genabackis is in the N Hemisphere and Lether is in the S Hemisphere how can both locations see the same green slashes in the sky?


That's definitely an issue.

Unless it's appearing close to the equator, Genabackans would be seeing it in the southern sky, while Letherii would be seeing it in the northern sky.

A question better directed at Steven Erikson, but my sense was that there was absolutely tons of the green slashes spread out over a wide expanse of the sky, or in several different clusters which could be visible at different times.

Lether is located fairly north in the southern hemisphere, which does help with that.

Absolutely awesome Werthead!

Seeing it on the globe is super impressive. Certainly gives scope to how diverse and enormous the story is. It really did need an entire planet along with other dimensions.
