[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 4450632, member: 29014"] This is true. Subtle differences are inescapable. On the other hand, I'm not sure there's any reason to have a really giant unavoidable rainforest there on the map that has never appeared in any adventure or backstory (at least I think it hasn't, so definitely correct me if I'm wrong!). I would hope we would strive for at least as much accuracy as we can easily obtain. This is partially because whether or not we say it might be a distorted medieval map here, would-be GMs and chroniclers are likely to find the map and use it as if it is correct. I know this has happened with some of the outdated out-of-scale maps (sometimes it is easy to Google for the map or find it in the wiki while missing the ensuing discussion). I don't mind terribly either way, it just seems more advantageous to aim for accuracy. Random sidenote--Term starts today and ENWorld has been having slowdown and sometimes failure to load the page. Doing term startup stuff is the reason for slightly sporadic posting this week, but I will be here and be updating if I can get onto ENWorld. [/QUOTE]
