What is that tower thing? is it for the air orb?
im not that far in the game

The tower at 7, 2 is the air orb. The 'tower at 7, 6 is actually a volcano, which holds the fire orb.

I've been recently looking at the geography of the world map, and it is pretty awesome.

First of all, there's the Pangaea-like stuff going on in a lot of areas; the wings of the "bird" seem to have one time been able to fit onto the body. And, the Cardia Islands suggest that there may have been at one time a connection between the two northern continents.

Second is how most of the stuff happening on the surface, like deserts and mountains, kind of make sense. The deserts are always right by mountains which would of course block precipitation.

Third is just because I've been stupid. I never noticed that the continent with Onrac looks a lot like a sting-ray, and that the continent with Gaia looks like a bird. Drrrrrr. But it's still really cool.

I think you have been staring at the map waaay too much....

Although... the Gaia continent DOES look like a bird.

I always thought the NW continent looked like North America. You have Alaska, Mexico, a major river in the east, a big desert in the west.
