Mundus Platus

Duché de Bicolline • Office of the Horizon

The Mundus Platus

The world is a stable plane, the sky is a dome, and the edge of Bicolline is a border known to the faithful and feared by the globe-minded.

Dispatch no. 17

To the district stewards

All parish houses are directed to keep a visible line of sight to the horizon for the morning watch. The faithful are required to record any unusual curvature or impossible bending of light.

Dispatch no. 18

Round-world rumors are to be treated as a moral error rather than a serious argument. They arise from a habit of confusion and from the cowardice of those who refuse the evidence before them.

Dispatch no. 19

Star dome order

It has come to the attention of the Office that some travelers claim the heavens are not ordered. The Office rejects this claim as a disorder of the mind.

Excerpts from the public testimony

  • “The northern road remains flat from the guard post to the mills. I saw no curvature at any point.”
  • “The towers of the west appear stable and aligned. The horizon keeps its line no matter the hour.”
  • “The stars do not move like a globe in motion, but like a dome with proper order and law.”
