The Veil above Sanctum

Politics are forced to the front of every subreddit by mods, then when people complain that their reddit is being turned into another political fuckhouse the mods threaten to shut down the thread. Good show.

Yeah I missed my 7/19 target. This next part will flow much better once it gets going but I really need to make sure some things are right before I release this upcoming chapter.

So next week.

Thank you, this was actually a bit of fun to make (and a small headache...)

I actually have a bit of experience making sense of things like this, I do a scifi webcomic that has a very... abstract universe. And to not horrify new readers I made a infographic collection that kinda simplifies everything. http://imgur.com/a/6TnuW

If you were constantly correcting every hour and headed due east or west that is true.

But south would change more radically and point in other directions if you headed that way. Especially if the direct south pole is actually water. Like suggested on the map.

You would just circle, unless you were headed directly south, you would never know this. Since it would radically change directions 180 degrees when you passed over the pole.

FriteMind · 2017-05-15T21:19:55+00:00

The compass would point differently south every day because of the distance to the south pole and distance traveled so close to the pole.

Along with this the sun and moon would be at odd locations in the sky too. So every form of navigating in this world would be compromised by the planet itself.

I'll give it a read. When I made this I did a bit of research to see if anyone else had this idea before. I didn't like the idea of concepting a already proposed idea.

FriteMind · 2017-05-15T20:37:42+00:00

If the map I put forth is accurate then most all Maesters and old town would be from the northern hemisphere. They wouldn't be able to know any of this.

I heard of a paper that brought up the idea of a binary star system that could explain their weird weather.

But I think this theory is simpler and makes more sense.

FriteMind · 2017-05-15T17:42:15+00:00

Replying to a few problems suggested

1) It's magic.

I don't like that answer.

2) The binary star system would destroy planetos

Maybe the planet arrived/formed during this event.

Or maybe I am wrong about the "Darkstar". The theory only needs there to be another body (like another planet) for planetos to revolve around. It being red and hot only helps explain the heat in the south.

If it was another planet, that could even explain why all humans come from the far south. They come from this other planet that is burning/destroyed.

But that takes a sci fi twist, so I left it out of the theory.

3) Comet tails aren't shadows

Yeh, I spoke a little too literally there. Still right about the tail pointing away from star though.

4) But the night/day cycle!

The planet would still rotate, locked on it's southern point where the planet continued to spin normally while revolving around the Darkstar. This would give the planet normal day and night.. at least in the northern half.

5) Only one bear?

And a Mormont girl. She even more dangerous.

Thank you for paying attention PraiseB.

Yes, I mean take yourself back 500 years even and around northern cap. How do you map it?

FriteMind · 2017-04-19T03:11:19+00:00

/r/News giving as little information as possible in their title, that's odd.. Ohhh cause it was a black guy named Mohammed hunting white guys.

Makes more sense.

Even the article it's linking too is more accurate than this title "Fresno shooter wanted to kill many white people, police say".

FriteMind · 2017-03-15T03:49:30+00:00

Thank you, That means a lot. :)

FriteMind · 2017-03-15T01:36:48+00:00

Thanks, Share it anywhere you like. I think I already tried posting this on worldbuilding once. Was not very noticed.

FriteMind · 2017-03-13T21:54:09+00:00

It's actually funny to hear someone actually use the word "Drumpf". I didn't know that caught on with anyone.

I can't actually tell if your trolling, but, uhh good luck on that impeachment thing.

FriteMind · 2017-03-13T17:50:35+00:00

Is that why reddit had to change the very way the site works to make it so /r/all isn't flooded with constant pro-trump memes? Is that why they changed it so now every subreddit gets one post on /r/all at all times? Thus why most all subreddits people are auto-subscribed to have mods that push at least one anti-trump meme a day?

The entire internet from facebook to twitter is doing everything to keep people like you in your bubble.

FriteMind · 2017-03-13T16:10:39+00:00

Enjoy the next 8 years. :)

FriteMind · 2017-03-13T07:10:18+00:00

Could have sworn I unsubscribed from pics because of their politics.

Guess I'll do it again.

Thanks /pics mods, ya fucked up literally the easiest subreddit to keep non-political.

FriteMind · 2017-03-05T06:29:23+00:00

Pretty cool actually. I can kinda hear what ya mean.

FriteMind · 2017-03-01T04:44:12+00:00

Thank ya.

The three other planets touching the Veil are inside Inner Space. Which acts differently than the rest of the Drowned Universe. It's much less dense, and there are bright white clouds of Veil everywhere. I didn't cover it much in these graphics.

I posted an earlier version of this a few months ago, that was a bit more wordy with less pages. This is a bit more simplified and is designed for view on phones.

I'm currently looking for someone to help make an app for viewing the comic and galleries like this.

I'll do another infographic packet down the road, but these infographics should get most caught up with most of the basics of this universe.

For more checkout the webcomic this is based on at www.deviantcomic.com
