Kaladin is a Flat Rosharer

Recommended Posts

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"

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!

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.

That's a good point! That would make it harder to convince people that the physical realm planet is a sphere.
