Wild speculation belongs in the comments.

The more I think about this one the more I think this was actually @Selkie's explanation that I read who even knows where and am just remembering it as though I thought of it... >.> Apologies for commenting on an old post! >.<

2021-10-21 06:01:21 +0000 UTCWhat if the flying lizard's lair distorted not only space but also time?

2021-10-06 17:00:26 +0000 UTCPlant theory time! That used to be an inland sea totally separated from the ocean. This means it was probably freshwater. Then, when it was finally opened to the ocean and turned salty, the exp eating plant was poisoned by saltwater. Thus, the deadzone disappeared and no one on Pallos knows why. Side note, has it been confirmed that the deadzone disappeared? I don't totally remember other than it not being mentioned in Iona's arcs.

2021-09-29 21:12:57 +0000 UTCI think the quality issue is probably on your end. I'm viewing this on a laptop and there is a very large and detailed picture I can zoom in on.

2021-09-29 13:19:54 +0000 UTCWoah, assuming Night isn't full of hot air about the world being like 5,000 years old, then Iona's era is way further into the future than I had guessed. It's so far in the future that there might actually be some elves who finished doing their 25 reset cycle perfect class thing. Scary. This brings up another question. Have we ever gotten a glimpse of how the leveling/experience curve looks in this world? We know that the rate at which one levels can be affected by many things including race, class, challenge, danger, location, and novelty. It is also apparent that the curve is not linear. Have we ever been given an idea of just how steeply the experience requirements ramp up?
Melting Sky
2021-09-29 03:08:10 +0000 UTC@MeltingSky the year is about 29350. For some reason kindle version of the book has more or less direct mention of the age. Otherwise, there is mention of some Dwarf 525th.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-28 19:46:41 +0000 UTCWait a sec. Is Iona's time really 20,000 years in the future? Where did we get that number? I mean I realize she lived in the somewhat distant future but I was thinking like thinking more like 1,500.

2021-09-28 18:03:43 +0000 UTCThank you selkie

2021-09-28 12:40:09 +0000 UTCRolland currently. Born in Lithos
Selkie
2021-09-28 12:24:53 +0000 UTCYou can see exactly where my imagination juice ran dry, and I started half phoning it in
Selkie
2021-09-28 12:24:42 +0000 UTCBefore I go digging, which country is Iona in?
thomas
2021-09-28 11:57:01 +0000 UTCDistinctly possible, there are 20,000 years to come up with a solution after all. Perhaps Toxic manages a really impressive Poisoning
Andrew Moreton
2021-09-28 11:35:23 +0000 UTCCheckout the bonus material. It doesn't have any country names - we only know that Remus is in Zone 1.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-28 04:23:32 +0000 UTCNo, Tympestshard Council and most likely surrounding countries are the immortal lands. Selkie explained what's going on with Northern Continent in another comment.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-28 04:09:20 +0000 UTC@Andrew I suspect we'll get an arc where they figure out that the plant is source of XP eating aura and try to eliminate it in various ways.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-28 03:31:53 +0000 UTCSome silliness is required. We already have one real world
Addicted_Reader
2021-09-28 01:21:14 +0000 UTCI'd still think it's a bad name, but slightly more understandable. It could be made by a reincarnated leader, but man it still seems silly.
ShadowBlah
2021-09-28 01:17:50 +0000 UTCWhat if it is a literal isekai country?
Patrick
2021-09-27 23:25:58 +0000 UTCNippon (日本 / Japan) Koku (国 / Country). Literally "Japan Country" I would recommend changing that, at the very least don't use "Nippon".
ShadowBlah
2021-09-27 22:29:40 +0000 UTCThe Sea is greatly expanded and the experience depletion zone is missing , I suspect someone killed the great Plant thing or it grew up and walked off thus rearranging the local geography somewhat.
Andrew Moreton
2021-09-27 22:19:47 +0000 UTCShe can't track days or months underground, but with her status she can certainly track years.
Alan McBrayer
2021-09-27 22:16:02 +0000 UTCThere is a literal Japan (Nippon-Koku), middle-bottom. Mind, it isn't a bunch of islands, but the name is the same. Where do all the immortals live again?
Patrick
2021-09-27 22:14:51 +0000 UTCIt looks back to the other side.
Selkie
2021-09-27 22:09:16 +0000 UTCIt's left deliberately untouched, as it allows numerous high level creatures to roam freely. Think of it as a giant game preserve, Immortal-enforced.
Selkie
2021-09-27 22:09:01 +0000 UTC20,000 years in the past?
Mat
2021-09-27 21:29:20 +0000 UTCI take it the north Island is the immortal lands?
Joshua Little
2021-09-27 21:21:30 +0000 UTCWhat if Elaine spent way more time in the dungeon than she thought. What if decades passed, and the map has since much changed? She wasn't exactly capable of keeping the time down there...
Saramon H
2021-09-27 21:20:29 +0000 UTCIt might be too dangerous to cross.
Avery Aderyn
2021-09-27 21:15:40 +0000 UTCGuys! Interesting thing! Go left and down and we have a cropped area! There is more to the map? And it doesn’t connect to the right like a globes so… yea could be more
evyatar
2021-09-27 21:14:02 +0000 UTCThere is Lithos so it should be Iona's time which would check out with Remus missing. But I struggle to find matching geography for how i images Remus. So it might actually be in the northern continent. But then where is that inner ocean Remus is circumventing? And nothing really does box in. The most likely if it's on the southern continent might be the bay around the empire of xerius
Sakul A.
2021-09-27 20:55:24 +0000 UTCThe whole upper continent is unmapped after 20 k years??? Damnnnnnn high level much? Or something sinister? Maybe elaine would be the first one with info to give about the other continent
evyatar
2021-09-27 20:47:33 +0000 UTCIs there a map from Elane's time to compare it to? Also, this looks like Mars.
Katherine
2021-09-27 20:40:31 +0000 UTCThanks for the map! To view the full-size version: left-click to open the image, right-click and open in new tab, then left-click to zoom. The detail is much better this way.
Attherisk
2021-09-27 20:37:16 +0000 UTCRemus is where Xerius Empire is. For some reason Norstrum sea greatly expanded. Elaine currently is where Rolland Kingdom located.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-27 20:30:20 +0000 UTCGood that it is not a Western facing shore. This looks very different.
Sebastian Lachs
2021-09-27 20:29:36 +0000 UTCBut the quality is shit. The link doesn't help. It is much better on Royal Road. Edit: with App the quality is alright.
Alexey Gladkich
2021-09-27 20:28:31 +0000 UTCHmm so Remus shoooould be close to Khazzad on the map. Maybe where Rolland is? Or perhaps Han?
Michael Buchler
2021-09-27 20:27:04 +0000 UTCUnfounded rumours. Let's wait for a chapter that better explains this.
T. Clemence
2021-09-27 20:22:36 +0000 UTCWhere is Remus?
Misha
2021-09-27 20:22:11 +0000 UTCOh yes, the dreaded UUDD or "uhd". Looking forward to interacting with the other races
PatronTurtle
2021-09-27 20:21:51 +0000 UTCIt does let you zoom in
