Might help a bit Knightscape Send a noteboard - 19/09/2010 06:23:21 AM
I think this was discussed somewhere. Maps used in battle have glyphs in them to identify stuff for men. So they overcome that problem.


Placement of glyphs could help with the placement of cities and such but there would still be considerable difficulty doing any kind of grid system. Then there is the difficulty with figuring out distances.
All good things come to those who wait.

Do these pretty symbols in the front and back of this book play any sort of role in the story? j-whitt987 - 06/09/2010 10:33:01 AM 1621 Views
they are glyphs, I believe fistofpainx - 07/09/2010 03:28:31 AM 1428 Views
Ha. Jacob - 08/09/2010 03:01:48 PM 1515 Views

Dear lord did anybody even bother to edit this book? Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:23:23 PM 1482 Views
I was worried that they'd miss a lot of those. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:30:11 PM 1454 Views
Agreed. Also, I'm thinking the book didn't change at all from the ARC Dark Knight - 07/09/2010 02:37:33 PM 1340 Views
Well, I'll be keeping an eye on it. Jacob - 07/09/2010 02:53:38 PM 1362 Views
I've noticed several on my read through, also. j-whitt987 - 07/09/2010 03:34:13 PM 1437 Views

The bridges. Palatine - 12/09/2010 01:42:11 AM 1524 Views
I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1374 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 773 Views
How does that keep them from toppling when they are pushed over the edge of the chasms, though? *NM* j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 02:23:32 PM 703 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1388 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1452 Views
Agreed. I spent a couple hours thinking about it yesterday and came to the same conclusion. j-whitt987 - 13/09/2010 01:54:45 PM 1470 Views
