     I agree that "no horizon" is ridiculous [by the way, where is this 
     asertion in Strangers in Prax ? I've got the book but I never really 
     read it thoroughly !]
     
     But Glorantha is flat, so the horizon line as we know it on Earth 
     would be somewhat different. For example, on Earth, even with the best 
     binoculars, you won't be able to see beyond a certain point due to the 
     curve of the Earth. But on Glorantha, with such a [dwarven] artefact 
     or a high level vision enhancing spell, you should be able to see up 
     to the extreme and steep end of the lands/sea [if any ?].
     
     Any other unusual effect caused by the flat land ?
     
     But maybe in fact Glorantha is not flat, and that's only a legend, as 
     nobody never went that far ?
