D&D General Toril must be a Super Earth.

[gyor]

Okay so going by size of Faerun, which is not the largest continent on Toril, Toril has to be a Super Earth to fit so many enormous Continents and Oceans.

Some have asked how can so many races, species of Dragons, ect..., in a setting. In this case Toril is likely a super earth (low end of the super earth scale). And that is alot of space for stuff. And that is before you concider Toril's mirror planes, sister planet Abeir, the rest of its solar system, or visitors from other worlds and other planes.

Need more numbers. How big is Faerun? How much of the Faerun/Kara-Tur/Zakhara supercontinent does Faerun take up? Maztica looks fairly small in comparison, and the other continent isn't gigantic.

Edit: And let's be honest, it has a rotation and revolution period identical to Earth, and the massive supercontinent and Maztica are obviously Earth analogues. It's a "mirror Earth", like a lot of fantasy settings.

Toril isn't really large. It just has big bones!

Is it a Super Earth, or just Obese?

Im guessing that all those settings and concepts Toril has consumed were probably calorie-dense.

Hey! I'm offended on principle, despite the fact that my username is an ironic in-joke, but nevermind that.

Other stuff aside:

Abeir-Toril is undoubtedly at least 1.5 times as massive as Earth, in terms of radius, not actual mass (I should stop using the term massive to mean large). It has Faerun, Kara-Tur, Zhakara, Evermeet, and "Unknown Continents".

And, Faerun is massive.

I don't know the exact math, because I need more numbers, but I would guess that Toril/Abeir is definitely a super Earth, and probably a high-oxygen environment, among other things.

Earth would be bigger too if we had to have at least one day of wilderness journey between every two towns.

I'm almost surprised someone hasn't thrown in a hollow-earth type campaign arc into FR. They've got everything else and it would explain the (presumably) earth normal gravity. On the other hand maybe there is no gravity on Toril and the planet just sucks.

Only 0.0001% of Toril has been mapped. There are 56,572 more continents out there to explore.

If it were a super-Earth, there would be way to much gravity, but wait!

Actually, it might be interesting to think of how the Underdark factors into Toril's overall mass as a planet.

Something about your math seems off there.
