[QUOTE="OfValenar, post: 3956676, member: 58161"] The equatorial diameter of the Earth (distance from one side of the Earth to the other at the equator) is about 7,926 miles. The circumference of the earth (distance around the earth) at the equator is 24,902 miles. Using the map on the inside cover, Eberron is 16,500 miles in circumference, which translates to 5,220 miles diameter. Thus Earth is larger than Eberron. As far as the projection goes they both use the same projection, a flattened map: the equatorial line is straight not curved. The broken bridge over Scion Sound is a perfect example of the ludicrous disproportions of the Khorvaire maps – that’s one mother f*%#ing long bridge! I personally like the artist's mistake of oversizing Khorvaire - it makes the outer regions seem more underpopulated and wild and the five nations more like little empires. [/QUOTE]
