| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In the [[Director]]s of ''[[Forsaken]]'' and ''[[Shadowkeep]]'', Earth is seen rotating the correct way, however the continents appeared backwards. This is easily seen when looking at the orientation of Greenland and Canada in [[:File:DirectorShadowkeep.jpg|this image]].
| |
| *The continent of Antarctica is believed to be a myth according to the [[Chromatic Fire]] lore, implying it may have ceased to exist physically.
