Oh cool! An IRL map of Galar!
/jWesteros?
Fuck the Shetlanders as well I suppose 😂
A beautiful view all the same.
Based on the name of pretty much every town in England, the Scots language wasn’t all that inventive once you got south of the border.
Why be inventive for englandshire?
Think of the possibilities for insults! “Oh thae? Thae’s Cuntsborough. Thae’s where the English cunts live.”
Plenty of real places to choose from, both north and south of the border!
Shitterton is my fave.
I’m stealing Cuntsborough.
I wouldn’t turn it upside down, North is still North.
But below the border it would just say, “here be fuds”.
it’s just a lil thing map nerds like to do to challenge the commonly used north at top and encourage us to give a second look to our landscapes
I know. I’m very used to antipodean maps that invert the hemispheres.
The Egyptians used to map the Nile that way too.
Just feels odd to do it in this case.
The perspective is interesting. Slightly 3D/parallaxed, and I think also Mercator (because why not?)
“Fraunce” is my favorite part of this map.

Oops! All Mooth!
Today I learned about the Great Glen Fault.
