It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine in etheryis the analogue to the Pacific Ocean east of hingashi is smaller which would make travelling east of hingashi to hit the west coast of tural much easier
Exactly. Which is why I bring up the whalaqee tribe in the lore. Because while they are hyur, they are also the native american analog, and we currently have the hypothesis in our own world that native americans traveled by land bridge from asia to the americas thousands of years ago. So in eitherys, equivalent of several eras ago. Which means it makes perfect sense with the hrothgar and viera as well if they traveled a similar way and would explain the difference.
