| Nov 6, 2018 at 15:54 | comment | added | doppelgreener | Yeah, "it's not defined" is a valid answer. To make an answer like that well founded, one could demonstrate it's not defined by reasoning where it would be defined in the game text if it was defined at all, then explaining it's in none of those places and that we have no further hints. Then describing some possibilities is a fine follow-up. If we're relying entirely on the illustration though, it'd be a good idea to first give us a reason to believe it's to scale—it could just be a picture to get the general idea across artistically that isn't supposed to be a to scale representation at all. | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 15:05 | comment | added | Trish | if there is not enough information, an answer like "It is not defined in the sources XYZ" is prefered. | |

| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:24 | comment | added | doppelgreener | If you don't know an answer or don't think there is one, leave it for someone who does know the answer. No answer at all is preferable to an inexpert answer: rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/q/5530/1204 | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:23 | comment | added | BaronBart | Fine, and while there is no or insufficient information to warrant a more cited answer? Then can we take the question down as "unanswerable" or irrelevant. Don't allow people to sit here and subject themselves to what ever this BS is. | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:19 | comment | added | doppelgreener | It is within the mandate of this site to filter answers based on whether they are providing expert, well-sourced advice based on appropriate citations, and there is nothing wrong with people downvoting an answer that does not meet those criteria, as those answers reduce the quality of our site overall and the help we provide. (Anyone could guess, but people are asking here for more than guesses.) Do you have any citation to indicate your guess at the himilayas being correct, and the similar size being correct? (Could it be “the himalayas but 10x broader because it's an entire continent”?) | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 13:10 | comment | added | BaronBart | Yeah. Just using the picture because thats the info given. Choose the Himalayas cause they are a very large mountain range and represent the biome that I think Overlight was going for (The Monks). Again using the picture its apparent they are roughly the same size. Given how awful the base info is, making these large creative leaps seems warranted. In truth the best answer is "As big as you need them to be, its just a game" but I'm sure that answer would not have gone over well either. This question likely doesn't have an answer but lets keep voting down people that try... | |
| Nov 6, 2018 at 9:41 | comment | added | doppelgreener | On what basis are you making these estimates? What indication do we have that Zenith is roughly the size of the Himalayas? Can you cite the part of the Overlight text you're referencing there? On what basis are you judging the other shards against it in proportion? (Are you just using the picture? Do we have any indication from the game text it's actually to scale or reliable enough to do that?) | |
