Ive read that there is a few different theories about the geography of Randland.

Most seem to think that the westlands is Europe, Shara Asia and Seanchen America.

Has RJ or BS ever been asked about this? If RJ built the geography of Randland based

on our geography today? And has anyone asked them what happened to Africa during the breaking?=)

Thats the way I pictured it too. Westlands is about the size of Europe, isn't it, and Seanchan is supposed to be larger.

And then there is the question of the isle of madmen, is that Africa or Australia?

I know of no confirmation by RJ or BS, unfortunately. My personal take on the geography?

I saw your map in another thread and i really like it. Somewhere in the books its mentioned about the sandhills your somethings that was supposed to have been the shore of a great sea. Would that have been the medeteranian? Does RJ give any more hints in the books?

I think it was also in that thread that someone wrote that Asmodean should have lived by the Aral sea if your map is correct.

That is not at all sure however. Asmodean only said that his hometown might as well have been that porttown up in the spine of the world.

LOL. If I'm correct in my interpritation of the BWB's discrition of the geography I'd either be a polar bear or some sort of penguin seeing as New Zealand would be part of the supposed continent under the southern ice cap, if it exisited at all... Please let it be a penguin, I look horrid in white :madmyrddraal: .

One thing i didnt realize until i saw the big map of all of randland in the white book is how big the blight is. When i saw it, it made much more sense how the blight can support so many trollocs. I would like to know more about the blight in seanchan.
