it was produced by SV at one point
Before the first game even started, this map or a version of it was around, and it was said-- by Star Vault-- to be 'not the way the world (was)' even then. It was not how the world looked in MO1. It has maybe the same relation to the map of Nave in MO2 as this map of Pangaea
has to the Earth of the present day. It gives a nice sense, though, of Nave as a very rapidly changing planet.
it does give the general layout of the world
True. East is still east, West is still west, and the planet rotates clockwise (deosil) instead of counter-clockwise (widdershins) as viewed with North upright, the oppostie of Earth.
also i just realized there's not a "commoners questions and answers" section of the forums? wtf.
I don't know what Star Vault is thinking with regard to that omission, and others.
