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)
