Lord Flashheart Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 GRRTH is most certainly round. I think you need a round planet to make gravity work. Might want to ask a scientist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burning down the House Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 OK. That raises the question of why it should be difficult for people sailing the same ships that powered our world's Age of Exploration, but let's accept it as the truth.How did they then regularly sail across the 200-mile-wide Narrow Sea? Unless you're suggesting that the route from Maidenpool to Braavos goes all the way down the coast, across the Stepstones, and back up?I'm no sailing expert but sailing across open water without accurate maps and time pieces can't be like using GPS. Didn't the Iron fleet lose like half its strength sailing from the Step Stones to the mouth of Slaves Bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also need a planet to spin on its axis to make seasons work. And yet, that's not how seasons work in GRRM's world. How do they work? Again, as GRRM says: magic.2. Gravity worked on Tolkien's world, even though it was flat. How? Divine magic. GRRM explicitly compares his world to Tolkien's.3. You don't actually need a round world at all to make gravity work; a flat world would have gravity as well, unless it were paper thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that everyone who sails across the Narrow Sea routinely loses half their ships too?Besides, this seems more like an argument against Euron being able to successfully circumnavigate the world than anything I suggested.

Lord Flashheart Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 3) Is your world round. I mean if Dany traveled far enough east couldnt she come to the other side of westeros?Yes, the world is round. Might be a little larger than ours, though. I was thinking more like Vance's Big Planet.... but don't hold me to that.http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Category/C91/P60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcotron Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 http://www.westeros....ategory/C91/P60OK, that's all I was asking for. If he says it's round, it's round. I don't know why people came up with these ridiculous arguments, and dig up quotes saying it's like Middle Earth, if there's a direct statement like this… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that they might not sail out of sight of land because it is dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squire to Ser Pounce Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 "...and that naming convention of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the GRRTH."I am very on-board with this new name for the ASoIaF world.

Just go with it!I made certain Puddles made it to a certain trope wiki. Perhaps i should do the same for GRRTH.But yeah topic. GRRTH is round. It is known. It just has an..electromagicphlebotinum axis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
