At the risk of resurrecting this old zombie; is this the mythic reason for a "horizon" on a flat world? The Middle Air continues to resist Light thus restricting the distance it travels. Or conversely the Light is limiting its contact with the profane world of the Middle Air. Is Elmal then too weak a force to push out further than the "horizon"? I'm actually more interested in the Light/Air interactions than the horizon question. AFAIC if you're high enough to see over all intervening obstacles you have other worries, like hostile Sky deities or walking on the outside of the sky dome.
