Interesting! I'm remembering a few things about the last map you posted and have noticed a few changes. Like the underside of the world is now more like a giant mountainous stalactite rather than a barren rocky plane. I think the world is also much larger than the earlier concept in general and has a much larger and more complex arrangement of continents.
Hell, actually it kind of looks like a fragment of an actual planet that got separated due to the old white hole core fuckery.

Okay, looks like I misremembered a bit, but I think I had a few points.
Also holy hell it's been almost four years?!

I imagine that each time white and black fight, white eats more of the planet, as it is its nature to consume and make it sound like its being made a part of a new whole.
Black is able to beat White, but not before more of the planet is lost to the white's "hunger" along the way.
If the cycle continues, there won't be anything left of the planet except its orbitals, and even they will get consumed. Black has more than likely known this for a very long time and may be working on a plan to put an end to the cycle.
But don't mind me, I'm just speculating. :)

Ooo, I love getting to know more about the world in which the characters live!
But my only question is: How does the climate work? Obviously the world has had a few traumatic events in its past given it's sort of like Discworld with rock instead of the 4 elephants. But I thought it was sort of implied from Fen coming to the monastery that it was a colder area, temperate, perhaps? And if the poles are east and west, presumably where the sun/heat source doesnt hit as well, then in theory wouldnt the area where they are be akin to an equator, and therefore quite warm? Especially since the north and south poles seem to be colored a bit drier to imply desert or similar (though I might be reading too deeply into just some shading). Is it because the monetary is so high up? Obviously I don't know how Farelliar exists in relation to the rest of the cosmos, such as number of heat sources, rotation, size, and all that but that's just what came to mind for me when I looked at the map.
Thanks, Vix!

Less Discworld and more chunkworld, the world has a curve to it as if it were part of a planet.
Seasons work by the spheres' orbits pulsing in and out. And since the orbit goes north-south, the east and west edges experience the highest range of temperatures during these pulses, from quite frozen to decently mild. The north and south edges are generally hot and somewhat muddy, and the central area has the most stable weather and temperature. They get a little snow in the winters and a nice warmth in the summer.
Also, Fen's said it was "It's a bit chilly for the season" :p
We'll explain the magics and stuff in a few pages. ;)

aside from the world itself looking like it got ripped out of a planet, the continents/islands themselves look like they were once one large continent, then got pulled apart. and the middle looks like a crater. something did its level best to reduce the planet to gravel, and something else has held a chunk of it together. repeatedly.
Bizarre!
The scientist in me demands explanations for:
how does such a planet fragment maintain a viable atmosphere and biosphere, and do so only on the intact side?
how does it not crumble & collapse back into a spheroid shape?
assuming the center of gravity is still at the former core (now the point of lowest mass), rather than at the fragment's actual center of mass... how is that possible?
do people who stand near the edges of the biosphere have to stand at a sharp angle? How does the water not flow to pool in that central crater?
what mechanism creates the ice masses at opposing edges?
what is the fragment's orbital period, eccentricity, etc.? How long is a year and a day? What are the seasons like?
what is the rotational axis? is it tilted almost 90 degrees, or is this map simply tilted?
Sure hope it's just the map that's tilted... because unless there's also a precession of the axis that matches the orbital period precisely (to keep the poles aligned approximately perpendicular to the sun at all times), then a majority of the orbit will see the entire biosphere side in total darkness & frigid cold.

1 - Superscience, we'll get into it eventually.
2 - See above.
3 - Ditto.
4 - We'll get into that next page, but basically gravity curves around and follows the surface angle.
5, 6, 7 - Farelliar's sun is the Solarin sphere, which orbits the world itself rather than the other way around. The world itself is stationary, we'll eventually learn how it all holds together. The ice happens because the east and west edges are the farthest away from the orbital line of the spheres.

Love the world design!
Just a thought though, isn't ten million a microscopically small population for a world with 217 countries? That'd leave pretty much every country with a population of roughly 46,000 people, providing that they were all equally populated of course. Or is there an extremely slow/small birth rate, and minimal conflict between each nation, or a ton of super tiny nations, and fewer but bigger nations?
Just thinking out loud a bit, but it seems like a specific choice, not just a random value.
