The Sacred Isles of Pyln; home of the World Candle who's glow encompasses all of reality

Description

At the heart of this world is an enormous candle. I worked out that for a candle to burn for 1073 years it would have to be 178km tall and 20km wide. That's what the big thing in the middle is, it's basically the sun. This world is not a globe, it's a flat plane (that should really be circular come to think of it but inkarnate didn't have that option). The outer edges of this world are cast in eternal night, and the centre of the world in eternal day, in the middle it's just a forever sunset it's really pretty but you'd probably get sick of it after a while.

This whole map is 1400km wide and 1000km high. This world is quite small, that big continent to the west is barely the size of Britain. As the candle burns the sun slowly sets on the world, until the 18km high candlewick flame dips beneath the it's mountain cradle. This is an experiment into a "micro world", the idea is that one day the candle was lit by the gods and reality was created. Imagine if you just came to life right now and this moment of you reading this was the beginning of time, all of society already operational but without any history whatsoever. And then this world exists for only 1073 years and the flame is only above land for 876 of those years, after that the firmament at the edge of the candles glow slowly sinks upon the heavens (which in world sit directly ontop of this map, that's gonna be my next map project).

So far I'm finding with these constraints that I have formed a vast world with so much conflict, already in my head there's the entire thing. I just need to get it all written down.
