Talk:Polar Regions

Just a thought - surely the edits to the map are just speculation? There aren't any Ultimas where the player actually travels through an ice field.

If we knew the climates of the other two continents not yet seen, then it'd probably be easier to see where the poles are (although Serpent Isle apparently throws this idea into confusion, as its ice-clad section is relative to the south part of Britannia.

Because of the potential for Britannia to be a taurus rather than a sphere, its dubious as to where the poles would be at any rate (and for that matter, is the sea-area still there from when the other three continents were shifted off of the globe?).

Well...

I admit, the edit on the map is speculation. But since the polar region is SEEN in the intro of Serpent Isle, which clearly takes place in Britannia, the Polar Regions have to exist. And the orrery in Moonglow makes it clear, the planet Britannia is a sphere.

Definitely sounds good

I need to fathom out how big the Britannian continent actually is as well - if we assume that its situated on an Earth-sized globe, then there must be an awful lot of ocean, with one continent sitting in it (from the old U1 maps, LoLB was situated in the northern area, while SI was in the south, and the other continents where next to and below LoLB). From that we know they were roughly the same size, although what that size is...
