The universe is an endless plane of icy wastes, but some deities placed luminaries in rotation over it which thawed some pieces of land, but they are separated by the wastes and to travel between requires either magic, or treacherous journeys through ice caverns.
…I’ve heard of a certain disk world…
Yeah but that doesn’t have a giant ice wall
I think my favorite aspect of Flat Earth conspiracy is the idea that all the “real” forests were destroyed in a cataclysmic event a long time ago and landscape features like mesas are the remnants of trees
Ah. I see they’ve played Dark Souls
We actually live in a puddle on a huge low density ice planet
Flat earthers tend to borrow a lot of tropes from fantasy settings this is kind of full-circle
It’s called Discworld
There was only one world in that and it was an ocean around it not ice
It would be funny to have sphere earthers in that world who also can’t / refuse to understand how to use basic science to deduce the geometry of their world.
that’s just the underdark
check out the Beyond the Ice Wall Worldbuilding Project. the map is great (you can ignore the worldbuilding and just use the map for your own stuff)
i do like that it’s more of a “snowman” and there are other worlds, a large continuous flat plain, and magic grows more intense the more ice walls you breach. it would be great for a steampunk or Weird Victorian setting, or fantasy pirate stuff but could work for modern conspiracy themed world
That’s nearly the boiler plate I have for my novels. Basically honeycomb mountain ranges. It’s so that if I ever have a novel pop the fuck off then other people can use the same magic system or whatever in a new world (or the same) if they so choose. It was supposed to be akin to different people’s imaginations in the imagination-plane so that it was technically possible to have characters interact from one mind to the next - albeit difficult.
the sun starts to flicker occasionally. some scholars and prophets warn that it could go out entirely, although the disagree on how to thwart disaster.
