Reply To: The climate of Ulthuan

Just a couple of thoughts: first of all, we have no clue where the equator of the Old World is… we jut ASSUME that since there are similarities with the geography of our world, it should be roughly in the same area but, for all we know, we might be looking at just a tiny fraction of the northern hemisphere…
Secondly, we do not know the general climate of that world: during the last glacial era, permanent glaciers covered most of Europe up to a large part of northern Italy, this might be a factor as well.
Thirdly, we do not know the general weather patterns of the Old World: this might include things like its axis and direction of rotation and the expanse of the oceans at its equator: if the water masses at the equator are significantly smaller than the ones on our own world, the whole effect on the weather would be massive.
Of course not taking into account the fact that a fantasy writer who knows how the weather work is a rare bird indeed…
