: Mythworld wraps around to the north and south, eh?
Yep, though I imagine there is a whole lot more than just the continent we see, at least to the north and south - otherwise the land would be extremely, noticably curved, which it obviously isn't.
: Hmmm. What keeps all the air from leaving the Great
: Devoid?
I originally thought this theory up trying to explain why the Devoid exploded when Balor's head was thrown in. I'm thinking that there's a force-field or some such at the bottom, which creates a shockwave when things collide with it, to let the thing through without letting all the air out - the shockwave pushes all the air away while the force-field momentarily deactivates.

We don't see many landscapes, do we? And the ones we do are usually in pregame pics, which are sketches that don't detail much of the background. In the movies, we could always just be looking east or west; the arch would only be visible when looking north or south.

It's about 1/4 of the map width from the eastern border; in the north-middle of the eastern half. I'd call that the east, though not the far east.
