Here, for all of you upset that the map is wrong/labelled whatever, a clean version with no names, numbers or markings of any type.

Ah, but the 3D effect shadows on the trees and cliffs are now wrong.

SIgh, that I could see it. Unfortunately, Remathalis has me on ignore. Ah well.

The shading they do on maps is actually quite odd. It's usually done as if the Sun is top-right, which is conventionally NW. This would only approximate reality on a summer evening (at least at the latitude I live). The "average" direction of the Sun in the northern hemisphere is south. You sometimes see this on Google maps, with shadows on the north side.

A good argument for plain, black & white maps right there.

Don't sweat it. North's now up, sure, but the enemy's gate is no longer down.

I'm sure glad that this is the only time in D&D's 44-year history that they've made a map where north isn't facing up.
