That would be really interesting! It sort of kind of overlays? Maybe the focal point of the curve is where Urthiru is on the map? I think I butchered that spelling.

I think Sanderson said that the crem was his way of "scientifically/magically" ignoring erosion. Things don't erode in Roshar, they just get crem piled up. Remember how everything in the Parshendi city was covered in layers and layers of crem?

First time poster, and I just want to say that I've been following the forum for awhile with regards to the Cosmere, and the map bit has really intrigued me. I know others have raised questions about how the mountains/continent itself was formed if there are not plate tectonic forces occurring, but what's up with the archipelagos? I don't understand what could possibly create islands could be created without plate tectonics and through that volcanoes, especially ones that look very similar to say... the Hawaiian Archipelago. I guess you could "magic" and answer up, like a God of some sort just threw down islands in a line in addition to the continent, but for some reason the islands have really bothered me. The shape of the continent is symmetrical (mostly) about the diagonal, but the islands are really a wild card to me. They aren't symmetrical really at all. Side note: In the Shadesmar map, there is a "mountain range" in the very center at the bottom. Are we to assume that the ocean is very shallow there? As shallow as the Purelake? Pretty random to me as well, but it may just be an artistic liberty.
