Is Eora an Ocean Planet?

[Kirk]

 

Who said Eora is a planet?

Yeah, it's a VARN.

 

 

That was the first thing I thought of!

[Dr. Hieronymous Alloy]

I hope that when we get to the New World in Eora . . . . there are dinosaurs.

[Fardragon]

I've thought of a couple more.

 

4) The Aedyrians do know about Yezuha, but are keeping it hushed up;

 

5) Yezuha isn't on Eora, Rekke arrived by SPACESHIP!

[Gritino]

I don't think we know enough about Eora to really know.

I don't see it. Travel south from the Vailian Republics and you'll get there, where's east here?

 

I only gathered from this that Naasitaq is directly far south of the Republics. And that Deadfire reaches the equator. So that puts the Eastern Reach more to the north of it.

Check the good old map above. Traveling south along the Eastern Reach's coast form the VR you eventually hit Naasitaq and Josh confirms this. It is also said that Deadfire is the eastern border of the known world, and it's ridiculously long, so I figured what you can see on my map-ish attempt. Eastern Reach is on the southern hemishere, hence Deadfire has to spread form south of the ER (because Naasitaq's proximity to the south pole) to east from the ER (because it reaches the equator). Plausible?

So? It's as I've said - travel south from the Eastern Reach and you reach Naasitaq, but where does it say anywhere that Deadfire is directly east of the Eastern Reach? Nowhere. Because it's southeast of it. Your map is too cramped that's why you can't fit Deadfire into it properly. I think it's more like the Eastern Reach is Southeast Asia and Deadfire is all those Indo-Micro-Mela-Polynesia islands that span all those miles down south to Australia (but here they go all the way to the south pole) and east into Pacific ocean.

“Josh, hear my prayers! Please shows us a the sacred location of holy Deadfire...”

I have just come across a bit of in-game dialogue that describes Rauatai as a "spit of land". That suggests a peninsula to me (probably with some associated islands). Maybe something like Florida? Bay of Rauatai = Gulf of Mexico?
