As some of you may or may not know it is possible to walk around the zoning portal in Aurora Glade and enter in the area Ettin's Back while staying inside Aurora Glade. Whether or not this is a bug or was done on purpose is anyone's guess. As the title of the thread shows this pic displays the end of the world, or rather just something players aren't supposed to see...

But if the world is not round, then where does the water go when if gets to the edge?

It falls off the edge and gets vapourized and turned into clouds which come back and rained on the land. Hence the never ending cycle

HERE BE DRAGONS! When venturing towards the wedge of the world, beware because here be dragons and not Australia...

This is just a glitch--it can be done in the Granite Cidadel as well.

The reason it's like this is because that maps are drawn to a limited point so that it doesn't crash your comp with a buttload of memory hogging.

It's still pretty cool to see though.

Try turning your camera into the void. It screws up the colours even better than Dwarven Ale!

Same thing happens in Granite Citadel. You can explore quite a bit of Tasca's Demise and maybe a fifth of Mineral Springs before hitting the void.
