But then I started wandering , what do we actually know about the georgraphy of the world in asoif. I mean there are the maps in the book, but that's a 2d projection of the world, and assuming the world is round ( which I suppose we're not debating , even in the world of ice and fire :) ) and that what we know is the extent of that word, then the two may not be that far apart. <br /><br />It's like when you think of our world and you look at a map, you would think that North America and Asia couldn't be farther apart, but actually Alaska and Russia are really close. (well , enough land to cross , anyway ).<br /><br />I guess what I'm saying is that Asshai may be so far east that it's getting west. Of course the ocean between the two could be really big and it wouldn't matter , but there may be not. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1758815004886180861.post-53219188152180160842013-11-29T21:52:36.511+01:002013-11-29T21:52:36.511+01:00That's a tad unspecific, don't you think? ...That's a tad unspecific, don't you think? ^^ Please be more concrete about what you want to say.
