: Well, nothing to do with Myth III in fact.

: Its an observation.

: As I'm sure you've all noticed, all sunlight in-game in
: Myth comes from one source - the North East, as
: determined by the direction in which shadows are cast.

Assuming the top of the map is always North, correct.. this may not be true, though.

: Let me speculate a little on the ramifications of this.
: If Mythworld is, in fact, round like Earth (and Earth
: _is_ round dammit), then the myth continent is in the
: Southern Hemisphere!! As an antipodean myself, I
: rejoice in this. Furthermore, all battles were fought
: at 10am, or with night missions the moon was always in
: that position.

Could you explain how you got that? I have an idea how, but I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics.

: Of course it is possible that mythworld is flat, or some
: other shape. It is also possible that the sun is
: always in the same position in the sky, but
: periodically turns itself on and off to produce day
: and night.

Both possible, though I'd say the second one's a bit unlikely:).

: Regardless of this, there is one unassailable fact this
: reveals. The north will not be "frozen", but
: will in fact be a hotter, more desert-like or
: subtropical climate than the Province. The myth of the
: frozen north is an error perpetuated by parochial
: northern-hemisphere dwellers.

Where does it say the north is frozen?
