Default Re: Realistic Low Tech Maps

I tend to drive my players nuts when it comes to maps; half of the fun is figuring out how the silly thing is supposed to be oriented.

In my Tir Afon setting, most local maps are oriented to the East, since that is where the sun comes up in the morning. The significant exceptions are the Aztecah Empire, which orients all maps in the direction of Tenochtitlan, and Zarahemla, which orients maps to North.
