On design "inaccuracies" of the Shadowkey map (01-04-2005)Edit
Well the thing with map making is that the maps are done from the point of view of the cartographer. A resident of Tamriel may not have access to a flight spell to gauge accuracy and certainly would not have access to a satellite photo. So is it really so far fetched to believe that a cartography from that area of Hammerfell would draw his map with inaccuracies? It seems obvious the maps highest function was to point out the most important areas that a traveller to that area would need to take note of.

Our ever friendly Shifty Eyed Dog was the creator of the Shadowkey map and she did an outstanding job on it!
