Well, I won't use the word "wrong", but the people who made the map had a different ideabof what the World looked like than the original creators of the Nentir Vale setting. The original authors said that beyond the Nentir Vale, it was up to the DMs to map the World. Nothing was definite, besides some basic ideas: the planet was like Earth, but with magic, there were coastal cities south of the Nentir Vale, and Nentir Vale was in a cold climate but snow was a rare thing that happened only in winter. The map of Conquest was created when they decided to expand the lore of setting (perhaps using the ideas of cancelled books, such as the Nentir Vale Gazetteer and the Player's Handbook Races: Humans), but raiding Mystara and Greyhawk as well. So, the maps is just one interpretation, not the only one. But yes, I also think that Nentir Vale is its own thing, as the official products have linked Nentir Vale and Greyhawk in a different manner (Greyhawk is mentioned as an other world from another dimension, connecting to the World by interdimensional portals and time-space rifts).</blockquote>
