In Pearls of Lutra, how could they sail north-west to the tropical island of Sampetra?
Okay, so maybe this isn’t a Frequently Asked Question, but it’s something that bugs Snowfur! Mossflower’s climate is supposed to be roughly equivalent to Liverpool’s. Sailing north-west from Liverpool (assuming you don’t run into Ireland) the next land mass is Iceland! Not exactly the lush tropical jewel of Sampetra! Three theories come to mind: 1.) Sampetra is located in the middle of a very strong, Gulf-stream-like current that brings warm waters up from the tropics. 2.) The characters sailed so far north-east that they ended up going around the curve of the planet, so they were actually going south-east. 3.) Mossflower is in the southern hemisphere. Or, the fourth theory, 4.) It’s really not worth obsessing over and Snowfur needs to get a life!
