One large moon, with oceans and plant life, so it would be blue and green much like the Earth would seem from space. Except the land covers a significantly larger portion of the surface, say half and half.

Not sure about the eclipse, if you guys agree on it happening now or on a definite cycle we can include it. Same with any other global events, since this is after all a collaborative writing process. I like the idea myself. I have not seen any eclipses, and I've read all the IC up until the last page.

In terms of a mercator projection, which is how the actual whole map is, the current map is roughly one quarter of the world, the northeast corner. I do wish that there was a tool where you could convert a mercator projection map to an actual globe, but I have not found one. This continent is essentially a parallel to Europe-Asia-Africa, so think the distance between the tip of the western peninsula and the mouth of the desert river is roughly equivalent to the distance between Istanbul and Beijing. Which according to the internet is 4710 miles.

After a bit of research, I found this on the Wikipedia page of solar eclipses, "The width of the track of a central eclipse varies according to the relative apparent diameters of the Sun and Moon. In the most favorable circumstances, when a total eclipse occurs very close to perigee, the track can be up to 267 km (166 mi) wide and the duration of totality may be over 7 minutes.[24] Outside of the central track, a partial eclipse is seen over a much larger area of the Earth. Typically, the umbra is 100–160 km wide, while the penumbral diameter is in excess of 6400 km."

So, with this in mind (and translating it into miles), the distance that you would witness a partial solar eclipse would be around "the excess of" 4,000 miles. If I am thinking of the right river mouth that you talked about (eastern coast), then all the races except the snow brutes, being on the far northwestern coast, would witness this at least. That is assuming that the moon, star, and planet are the same sizes as Earth. You could say that it is somewhat bigger and that could shadow most of the continent in a partial eclipse if you so wished. Maybe if the world societies gathered in the same couple-hundred mile radius, we could all witness a full eclipse, but that is rather wishful thinking :)
