It does help, yes. :D

Anyone else want to think we're just seeing one small portion of the world and there are whole continents out there that just aren't on the map?

I had never thought about it before, but that makes so much sense! (Just makes me wonder how they'd get there, since it seems it would have to be too far to fly even on an airship.)
