Luke.spence Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 No. Has anyone even been thinking along the right lines or are we all delusional and completely missing the whole thing?
Sabrina Stormshard she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 There is but one highstorm, and it is stationary; it is the Roshar-shell that moves. I kinda love that idea
The Count he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Has anyone even been thinking along the right lines or are we all delusional and completely missing the whole thing? Agreed! Peter (the big tease that he is) makes it seem like it is staring us in the face! LOL!
Sabrina Stormshard she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Asuming that roshar is round, it should look like this right? (its not very well done) Notice how the ciruclar compass its almost in the south pole It looks like the continent is being sucked into a hole also, reading this: http://clarkplanetarium.org/why-are-planets-spherical/ it sounds like its a pretty safe bet to assume a roughly spherical planet, unless Brandon's done some REALLY weird stuff! I can't get over how much ocean there is! Is the origin 'behind' this view of the continent, on the other side of the sphere? Edited March 19, 2014 by Sabrina Stormshard
Sabrina Stormshard she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 One thing I notice is that the Purelake is supposedly only wading depth. Yet in Shadesmar its complement is shown as mountains. One would think it would be shown as a plain or flat. Shadesmar is distorted by perception. Maybe all the fish in the lake = tons of life so you get mountains? Just rambling now.
Luke.spence Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Wait, so the continent actually takes up a small percentage of the total surface area of the planet. This means that Shadesmar has considerably more landmass than the physical realm does.
WeiryWriter he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Someone should take a sailing ship east and find out I am still curious how rosharians are aware of their place on the globe, cartographically speaking. Well latitude can be (fairly) easily determined by the stars. And Longitude is pretty much completely arbitrary, they could place the Prime Meridian whereever they want. (The current Earth Prime Meridian runs through the Greenich Observatory in London but at one point some organizations placed it running through Rome/Vatican City)

I was imagining them as unaware that their planet was round, but obviously that's not the case for many, many reasons, so my query is kind of nonsensical. As for what we are missing on the map, we obviously got sidetracked. I have no ideas, nor any ideas on which map we are supposed to be looking at.

Luke.spence Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 That.... is the best thing I've seen in a while... 1
RShara she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 ROFL getting strange looks from coworkers because I'm giggling helplessly! Maresia you're awesome.
Ryshadium she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I keep coming back and laughing at this. Thanks for making my trip to the oral surgeon am enjoyable one. 1
Luke.spence Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Much Peter. Such hhhehehe. Very tease. Wow. (Sorry, my inner child couldn't help itself.) 4
Sabrina Stormshard she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 I love it. You should call that artwork 'Shards of Peternalsium'
Gary Singer he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 That pic of Peter was definitely worth an up vote. 1
Maresia he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 glad u like it guys a little laugh before we lose our minds. hhehehe
Ryshadium she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 It never occurred to me that Peter looks kind of like Corey Stoll (House of Cards) until just now. That is a compliment, incidentally. I love Corey Stoll.
Argent he/him Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 glad u like it guys a little laugh before we lose our minds. hhehehe I think this little laugh finally broke my mind. I have no embraced my insanity and wallow gleefully in it. 1
Ryshadium she/her Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 The line between genius and insanity is very thin. Perhaps we can channel this crazy into the answer. What have we not found?!? Looks like I can put off doing work for another day! Gratefully, work is slow today.
Luke.spence Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Try waiting anxiously for 3:00 PM to arrive so I can leave for a signing... it's nerve racking lol. Hopefully I can get some clue or hint tonight.
