Ok, let& #39;s talk scale here for a moment as it keeps coming up & I hope @matthewmercer will back me up on this as we& #39;ve talked about it before.
I& #39;ve had people point out discrepancies on the scales on the various maps compared to the Tal& #39;Dorei guide book & the Wildemount one - 1/3

However, not only were both maps drawn at different scales & are representational (not exactly to scale) of the continents, Exandria is a round planet being drawn on a flat surface. This causes scale (projectory) issues. When in doubt, use what you feel is a good scale. - 2/3
Also, & this is most important, this is a world being created as the game progresses. Things need to change to fit the story & because Matt doesn& #39;t have the entire world perfectly mapped & written. We& #39;re imperfect, we forget, or we need to change things so others make sense. 3/3
P.S. People inquiring about scale aren’t being mean, they are just trying to get an idea of the size. But without knowing how much of a curvature of the planet to account for, a projection can’t be made & I get people hate my real world answer but I’m an actual cartographer.
