Size of Hârn

Taken from Hârn forum How large is Hârn?


Warden: How big is the Hârn landmass? I ask because, I think it's the same size as the UK, but how can it account for all those different cultures?


DucatiDon: I believe Hârn is slightly smaller than the British Isle.


Peter the skald: Bigger than Britain I think...smaller than Britain and Ireland....'bout the size of France...


Merdain: Someone overlayed the map of Hârn on the map of the United Kingdom. Of course I cannot find it at this immediate moment, but I was surprised by the fact that the UK seemed to be at most only two thirds the size of Hârn. Hopefully someone on the forum can point us to this map comparison. In the meantime I will re-check my materials to find these maps....


pokep: For a totally back-of-the-envelope estimate, Hârn is roughly bounded by the 20W and 40W longitudes, and the 40N and 50N latitudes. That rectangle is approximately 1/18 * 1/18 * .71 of the surface area of the world. (The .71 comes from the fact that the 45 latitude the circumference of the world is 1/sqrt(2) times the circumference at the equator). Earth has a surface area of 510,000,000 km2, so assuming Kethira is roughly the same (IIRC it's a bit smaller), we have the bounding rectangle is about 1,100,000 km2. My eyeball guesses that the actual area is a little more than half that - we'll say 550,000 sq. km, or about 200,000 sq mi.

Britain is about 230,000 sq km. France 674,000 sq km. Ireland 84,000. So about two Britains plus an Ireland.

I'll let someone more ambitious count the hexes to get a more exact value.

The Texas map looks about right. Texas is about 700,000 sq km.

Krazma: I seem to recall one of the old advertisements stating something about Hârn being approximately the same size as Madagascar. I may be mis-remembering that, but glancing at a world map, it seems to be about right.

There's also this, but I don't recall where I found the original.

SableFox: For all practical purposes Hârn is about the same size as the British Isles (UK & Eire). The kingdoms are about the same size as the late Celtic or early Saxon ones (though Chybisa isn't even big enough to be a county). You can't rationally account for all the culture - someone just want a mix of their favourite fantasy/historic settings and lumped them all together (and why not? It is fantasy and it has proved to work).

Though the Solari crusades is the obvious 'knights go off and stomp' scenario, the latent Agrik vs Larani armagheddon is the more likely parallel to the crusades IMO.


Ilkka:

Hârn is about twice the combined land mass of the British Isles.

The civilized SW portion of Hârn roughly compares to Ireland.

The distance from Cherafir to Thay very closely equals the distance from London to York.

Sorry about the size of that map.
