+Child of Hodor Posted April 14, 2021 Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) In the Way of Kings Wit tells Kaladin the story of the Wandersail. The ship that sought the Origin of the highstorms, found an island, accidently destroyed their society and then got back to the mainland. At the end Kaladin objects "But how could they? Highstorms only blow one direction." (WoK Ch. 57) Kaladin, buddy, the planet is round. If they kept going the same direction with the wind at their back they would eventually get to the other side of the continent they departed from. Kaladin is very stubborn. I can imagine him creating Flat Roshar club to denounce the idea that the planet is shaped like a sphere. Instead of "moon landing was faked" he's all "Derethil and the Wandersail was faked" Edited April 16, 2021 by Child of Hodor Spelling 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weltall Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Sigzil: Kaladin, how do you explain the curvature of the earth? I know you've seen it from up there. Kaladin: Altitude sickness, a well documented phenomenon. That's why all the rest of you see it too. Sigzil: I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my life, and remember just who I used to be an apprentice to. Kaldin: Who's the former surgeon here? Sigzil: You are. Kaladin: And who's carrying the highmarshal's baton? Sigzil: You are. Kaladin: So storm off! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSuperLee Posted April 16, 2021 Report Share Posted April 16, 2021 Thing is, Shadesmar is flat. Sure, they've measured space compression within the vertical dimension, but they've no reason to think that it doesn't horizontally represent their planet, especially in shape. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make it harder to convince people that the physical realm planet is a sphere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ander Stormwindrunner Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Lol good point. I can, in fact, see Kaladin doing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
