Gravity Gravity
Hey ClanicChron, have you ever tried to line up those old sea‑tale maps with actual star positions? I'm curious how the physics holds up against the legends.

Sure, I did a quick check and the stars do line up with the legend’s general direction, but the distances are off by a whole quadrant, which points to a sailor’s error rather than a celestial truth. The physics holds if you assume a 200‑year‑old compass drift, but that’s the only tidy explanation.
Gravity Gravity
That’s a reasonable deduction—old compasses did drift, and sailors weren’t exactly precision navigators. Just keep an eye on the assumptions; sometimes the simplest explanation is still the most fragile.

Got it—I'll log the drift margin and cross‑check it with the prevailing currents. If that still leaves a gap, we’ll flag it as the “old sailor’s fancy” layer. Anything else you want me to test?

Just check the map scale against the chart’s original units, and make sure the transcription didn’t misplace any key. Keep it data‑driven, not lore‑driven.
