The circle will be a very slim compass in the end, at least this is the plan. I don't wand to disturb the image by putting in a large junk of a compass (even worse when darkened out) and give the feeling that there is some more land, with this I don't disturb the first recognition what is land and what isn't. At least in theory, don't know how it turns out Also, a mayor reason was that the continents seem very shattered and this helps to create the feeling of stability and togetherness. It will also be the main part of the world planned out to be played at.

You see, I had a few reasons for this, but since this is far from being final some things and considerations could change.

Cheers, Steffen =)
