Book of Tharasis 17:9

And when Yarsen son of Tharasis came to the port of Dark Haven he meet the explorer Pelicore, who sailed the seas in a ship clad in brass.

the young prince approached the wily sea captain and asked for passage up the icy river Ett.

"I do not sail north young lord," replied the captain between sips of wine.

But like his father, Yarsen was wise and would stop at noting to achieve the passage he sought.

"I was told you were the greatest of captains. I suppose those tales were form a day long past."

The captains snorted. "Boy haven't you heard speak of alchemists and astronomers as of late. The world is said to be round. How can one sail with out sliding off its edge?"
