hey, just asking because i'm curious,
but how many people have noticed that a lot medieval fantasy maps are left-justified?
i mean i know its probably europe, but it's enough of a trope for tvtropes to have an article about it.
a lot of these are orientated with cold weather to the north and the sea to the west.
even the ones i found with ocean orientation not to the west, the cold weather is to the north.
i just thought it was interesting and wanted to share
edit: i think the only reason i noticed this is because very few maps look even vaguely like where i live in the s. hemisphere :p
cold weather is to the south and it gets hotter the further north you go
some examples i found:
middle earth - lotr
eragon
wheel of time
westoros - got (looks like britan and europe)

[image description: an Instagram story from Amaury Guichon (the "Chocolate Guy"), which shows a side-by-side comparison of him in 2007 vs him now (2022). the 2007 picture shows him, significantly younger, standing next to and pointing at a small sculpture of an octopus attacking a ship. the 2022 picture shows him now, standing next to and pointing at a massive sculpture of a kraken holding a large anchor. the second sculpture is roughly three to four times the size of the first one, and finished to a much higher degree of quality. end ID]
