We know it's 600 miles at the summit. Any references to its width, circumference, or area at the base? Page refs?

Where's the height mentioned? I've never read anything about it.Flagg said:We know it's 600 miles at the summit. Any references to its width, circumference, or area at the base? Page refs?
That might refer to how far you have to travel to get up there, though. So it'd be the side of the cone that's 600 miles long, not the height.Flagg said:I believe it was first mentioned in Tomb of the Five Corners where it describes Meru being half way up the mountain at 300 miles. Since then it's been confirmed by other sources, IIRC, but I don't have a page reference for you.
Don't be so thick-headed... It's how you use it!Flagg said:It's not the height that counts, it's the width!!!
DotFA kinda throws a hitch in that since IIRC the city of Meru is described as pretty much covering the entire mountain. Throw in the Zenith ring being fairly close to the top and a lot of underground parts of the city and I at least start to find the 600mile high figure harder and harder to work with even for an over-the-top anything awesome goes game like Exalted.Flagg said:I believe it was first mentioned in Tomb of the Five Corners where it describes Meru being half way up the mountain at 300 miles.

I couldn't agree with you more...on both countsFlagg said:WW in general, and Exalted in particular, has a tradition of writers making new shit up that doesn't take established facts into consideration.
A city covering the entire surface area of a 600 mile high mountain is indeed retarded.
Well, parts of it are "abandoned" and it houses the Celestial Hierarchy.Jukashi said:And yet Yu-Shan, a city which covers the space of an entire continent, is totally feasible.
