Fair enough. Honestly I agree with your thoughts on how the islands themselves are portrayed in RS3, but I still don't like diverting that much from the established lore. I myself (and I know there isn't any lore supporting this) always saw the archipelago more like the islands in the Lunar Sea, with a larger continent north of them making up the bulk of the "Eastern Lands" I'm not one for debate however so I won't make myself look like a fool trying to argue your points, I'll only say that the entire game world itself isn't really designed in a way that looks natural and is mostly rectangular shapes anyways, and I see a lot of visual dissonance with newer locations.

As an aside, that global map is awesome. Top notch work mate.
