When Does Magnetic North Begin to Wane

Hello, - I'm trying to find out for the book I'm writing, where my character crosses through the Antartic barrier and begins to sail in the Sirsirian Ocean on a journey to the different continents in the outer ring(s)

Do you think a compass will still read / point to magnetic North after moving into the ring(s) on the other side of the Antarctic barrier?

I'm looking at The World Beyond the Ice Wall Map - and I'm wondering how my character can navigate to those other continents using a compass

I mostly belive the Terra Infinita Map to be the layout - an almost endless flat expanse beyond.

However, what cuases me to be undecided is where the firmament comes down to meet the land - and - how navigation is done ?

--- Can anyone shed some speculative theory on the navigation methods?

- I guess the #1 question is: How long does magnetic North last for the further you travel away from the centre of our realm here?

The firmament might not come down to meet the land. It could be a plane above, and a plane below. Ironically, "Super String Theory" dabbles with this idea, but pulls it into a infinite space vacuum.

Thank You,

I must drill-down into String Theory a bit more (I've been absorbed in The Theory of Everything / Quasi-Crystaline 8D exsiatnce)

I can see myself leaning into the notion of an infinite firmament - The thing is, ALL the ancients were subscribing to the belief of a DOME - Surely, there has to be some foundation as to WHY they all, without exception, believed in a dome structure ?

There must be a dome / But where does it drop down and connect with the ground level ???
Do we have a dome over our 3 or 4 rings ?
Do the other realms in the Terra Infinita Map have their own domes
----OR -- Did God place a dome over our realm here ONLY sealing it off from all the other worlds that just have a flat plane firmement???

...I get the feeling, that God made our "world" (realm) special by sealing it off from all the other worlds - maybe
