That means its outer rim is the equator. If so, the equator passes thru the central island in the sea.Comparing to the large Mortal map: Nerath and Karkoth would be the northern hemisphere, and Iron Circle and Vailin the southern hemisphere. Moreover, Zannad Jungles, all of the central island, and Nera would actually be parts of the equatorial rainforest belt.If the equator runs thru the center of the map, the north hemisphere looks colder and the south one warmer, but maybe the north is winter, and the south is summer and later in the year the temperatures would reverse.But all of this would mean the planet is extremely small!The Mortal map is roughly 1300 miles north to south. If the equator runs thru the center,  it is probably say 60° to -60°, or about 120 degrees. In other words, 10 degrees is about 11 miles, ... or about one sixth the size of earth.We would clearly not be looking at a "normal" planet. It would be smaller than the reallife moon.</blockquote>
