Hrulj Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Oceans with no end. Continents that you can fly on a dragon over for years on end with no end of it in sight. Seasons that are seemingly random and can last for years on end . Multiple similar species that are seemingly nonrelated inhabiting the same world. Could an explanation of nature of Planetos be that it's size, weather and species are simply a product of a massive ringworld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbital habitat generally large enough to fit millions of our earth just on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Stark Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 No. Martin has said Planetos is round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the core idea of the game. It would really be an interesting idea, but yea, Planetos is confirmed to be a globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely Jaenara would have tried flying in a different direction rather than only the direction of the ring? She'd have found the edge of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From city to the wall takes a few days. Years of flying around would almost definitely see the end of the world if not circle around it were they on a planet. HALO ringworld is tiny compared to the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't use it together with a Dyson's Sphere though, which is a spherical vacuum cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinola Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I clicked on this thinking it would be about Planetos having rings like Saturn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
