6. "What's the deal with the geography?" (added in 1.3, updated in 2.0)

        Several times over the course of "the Drawing of the Three" Roland makes mention of his location and his movements. Although he is on the coast of a Western sea the descriptions of shadows and the movements of the sun don't match up with someone heading North up the beach of an ocean on the Western side of a continent (these occurrences happen notably in the following sections, chapters and parts... "the Prisoner", chapter 1, parts 3 & 4, and in "Shuffle")

        In book four both Eddie and Susannah say that the geography is "wacky" in Rolands world and that's good enough for me. Time is also evidently askew and not all of it is caused by the world moving on.

        The revised edition of book one repeats this by saying the sun was setting in the West, but it's not truly "West" West. Time, distance and direction are all pretty seriously messed up in Roland's world (RB1, p.13)
