Where the hell is "North" in POE?

PoE uses 3 dimensions. Therefore, North-South are on the z-axis, where North is coming out of the screen and South going into the screen. Your character is at [0,0,0]. When you move, the map and everything moves in relation to your character position. So moving North would be the map at [0,0,z] where z <= -1

"You've got to grind, grind, grind at that grindstone..."
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but poor QoP in PoE is the father of frustration.

I actually didn't know it was possible to be this wrong but I definitely enjoyed this comment. Good to know that the center of the earth is the south pole in PoE :P

Oh look an arm chair expert. Do enlighten us with your theory of what is north in wraeclast.. And no, your flat earth comparison theories do not count. Go for it.

flat earth comparison theories
I assumed they meant the molten core of the Earth, given that we're now assigning cardinal directions to altitude if I understood your post correctly.
PoE uses cylindrical coordinates, I'm pretty sure.

Like a giant wiener. *<:^)

Yes, this is what I meant. Because it's... what DreadLordAvatar said. "Into the screen" is underground....
