79 years ago, a man by the name of Dingo theorized that the shape of our
world was flat. Some agreed with him, and some argued against him that
the world was round, or whatever other crazy shape. However, without
proper supporting evidence and a clear cut answer, no one was able to
prove him right or wrong. Furthermore, the Logos's explanation was
simply too complex for Achaeans to understand, and those who knew
something on the subject still could not postulate from His explanation
as to whether the world was flat or round.

Today, I bring forth new evidence on this seemingly old subject, and not
only a theory about the shape of Achaea, but what I feel is proof that
the world is, indeed, flat.

Recently, I was on the explorer's map, roaming the northern reaches of
Sapience. I reached the Wall of Energy, and noticed that my eyes could
see some tundra and mountains beyond that Wall. Indeed I became curious
and followed the wall to the ocean first to the west, then to the east.
I waded out into the shore waters as far as I could. While I could see
the waters continued further to the east, along with the Wall, my
progress was impeded, possibly due to the ocean being to deep and
trecherous. Using my wings, I soared into the sky, figuring that I'd
easily be able to fly over the ocean. But there must be something about
the winds over the ocean currents, because I could not fly into the open
ocean.

This disturbed me, because it was obvious that it was POSSIBLE to move
to the east, but how? Finally, I had an idea, and decided to tumble to
the east, using my skills in survival. Alas, it worked! I tumbled into
the open ocean, seeing deep blue, slowly heaving seas from horizon to
horizon.

So I continued eastward, and the Wall continued eastward. There came a
point in time where I had traveled so far east that I could not
communicate via Tells or Channels back to the continent. Undaunted by
losing communication, I continued to the east. It wasn't long after that
I noticed the Wall ended. Success! I journeyed north past the wall, and
returned to the continent of Sapience to the west, now able to explore
the vast reaches of the Northern ends of Sapience.

It took a couple of days, but I did explore the all of the lands to the
north of Wall, with nothing found. So I began to get curious... If I
could tumble into the ocean, how far North could I tumble?

And so it began. North and north and north I journeyed into the cold
ocean waters, looking for an end. Alas, I found one. Similar to the Wall
of Energy, it impeded my progress further north. However, this was not
something that was visible... It was just black space. The ocean ended
at a Northern Edge.

I became more curious, and the last couple of days I've done further
exploring and learned two more things. First, you swim from Sapience to
Polyargos and back. If you take the wilderness map exit on the western
side of the Aalen forest, go west to the ocean, and tumble southwest,
you will reach Polyargos. Second, if you take that same exit west as far
as you can go, you will reach another edge, a Western Edge.

Now, I haven't completed my exploration of the oceans of Sapience, but I
can make an educated guess that the Northern Edge will meet the Western
Edge at a corner, and that there are probably going to be similar
Eastern and Southern Edges as well that bind the world into a flat
square.

I can also guess that you could probably swim from Sapience to Ulangi
and back. However, who knows if there are other islands or continents
out there waiting for us to discover? The world appears to be a flat,
finite square, and while Sapience appears to make up a good portion of
that square, there is a lot largely undiscovered.

In any case, I nay know if I am the first person to actually discover
this, but the chronicles of the modern age do not show whether or not
this is the case, and I really didn't want to thumb through 10000 or
more posts to find out if someone has done this already or not. But
perhaps this information can bring a close to the question that people
had asked almost 80 years ago.

For those of you who would like to read posts from the original debate I
reference a few dozen public posts, ranging from 4894 through 4962,
including the explanation from the Logos himself, public 4939.
