Good to know, I always wondered about that one.

My apologies--I associate this with the general loss of communication
and knowledge that happened at the end of the 2nd age, and I guess
I'd somewhere lost track of the proper time-line.

But how widely know is that known? I mean, how do you even tell your
coast line has moved without a GPS system or _really_ good longitude
measuring? Maybe ENPL (Essence Node Position Location) magic? I
understand that after the syndic ban dropped it was possible to see
that the KOW was bigger than the maps indicated, but.....somehow I
don't see people being as concerned about its size as its existence.
Anyway, an interesting bit highlighting its supernatural creation.

I assume that the 'coicidence' hasn't escaped many informed observers in Glorantha. I've not seen anything suggesting that Gloranthas are aware that there is a definate connection, but I'm far from an expert on the subject.....so for you who are: how much of the metaphysical truth is actually known? (I don't really care what the truth is, so much as what is perceived)
