Are you sure about that? I mean when you put the continents of Earth together, they fit because, obviously, they’ve split! However, look at Pania, if you were to push that port towards St.Martin, Pania’s peninsula would smash St.Martins coastline. I would imagine that would be an cataclysmic event sending tsunamis across the rest of avonmora!!!Poor little pirates. They would be tossed and turned and sunk. Oooh maybe we would actually see a sharkanado????!!!
