Water mountains are my new favorite concept
Show me in the bowl of water how it’s done
Hmmm. That would finally explain water skiing.
Grandpa was a ball earthist… It’s a shame we all carry in my family.
On another note, THE GOP JUST FUCKING DECIMATED ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE IN THE US, DIDN’T THEY? These folks just get to walk around, mid manic episode, pointing rifles at poll workers, licking doorknobs during COVID, injecting bleach and horse paste into their eyeballs, committing January 6th while stabbing cops with sharpened flagpoles and worshipping a compulsive liar and convicted felon who doesn’t know where he is half the time…
We used to have places these folks could go to get help.
Yo I think I gotta add this to my D&D campaign setting
I’m imagining you ruining your players’ suspension of disbelief by including something that real people in the real world really believe.
I hope it doesn’t! I hope they see it or hear of it and are intrigued. Maybe they wonder if something exciting is going on there, and want to check it out.
Idk yet, but they’re probably resulting from a leak from the elemental plane of water, or a leyline nexus or something there and water magic is stronger there and so there is a flotilla of wizards trying to study it under the harsh conditions. Or it could be a hole in the world and somewhere else there is a big whirlpool, and the wrecks get spit out at the top of the water mountain and there is a whole culture of salvagers who explore the turbulence and dive for treasures. Maybe an empire of sea elves has been magically growing it for decades with the intention of using it as a weaponized tsunami so they can raid and conquer farther inland. I love irl conspiracy shit like this that asks more questions than it answers, because in a fantasy setting the answers get to be cool.
Maybe it’s that the land is on top of the water mountain/ plateau? And as the ships sail away they descend from the plateau? Maybe it’s the gravity of the land that causes the water to bunch up near the land? Maybe the earth is actually spherical? Wait no not that last one…
Well, under certain conditions, it does.
From shore it looks like the ship goes up doesn’t it? But what is happening when you’re on a boat and go on the ocean.? Maybe the water mountains are like silicon breasts as you ride along them they depress under the weight?
