Sounds like a super-continent at one of the poles to me. Not a bad idea and could be fun, as SG said. However, there was a bit of logic in all of that, that didn't add up . . .

. . . because a man can stand anywhere in the Krowne and look forward, left, right, or backward, as he can do enywhere else -- but he cannot know whether forward is north, or left is south, or which way to face if he would orient himself to the four sides of a map as people understand maps . . .
I didn't find this to necessarily be true. If one knows which direction the sun travels, one could easily determine the conventional cardinal points in a sundial fashion. Alternatively, they could wait until sunset or sunrise to get an approximation of which cardinal direction they are facing. Still, even with that, an interesting concept.
