Sharlayan: Lore to Map Incongruity?

[Duuude007]

Based on the Current Earth events, an ancient sprawling city which existed on a series of islands in the middle of a large bay in Spain was recently discovered using ultrasonic scans.

Geological history suggests that a large tidal wave flooded the bay, and pulled inland soil back over the city, creating sprawling mudlands over where the archipelago used to be, the bay effectively ceasing to exist.

Even if the map isn't perfectly specific/to scale on the city's design, it is still viable to be a series of islands on a small inland sea or lake.

Remember the inaccessable "dragon themed" island in northwest Coerthas?
