    You might want to check out this old thread for more on the topic of Coerthas' climate change.

    My personal theory was that Dalamud itself was using some of its power to keep Coerthas warm for some Allagan reason lost to time. When the moon fell apart, Coerthas reverted to its natural, icy state.

    Well it is nearby Dravania, a nation of dragons led by Bahamut's Siblings, as well as Azys Lla an the CT. Maybe they thought that keeping Dravania happy would help placate concerned masses, or maybe all the experiments they did made cold weather unviable for eith the populace or the experiments themselves

    The sudden rise of ice and snow WAS a real threat. We learned that Ysayle's village was buried from the snap freeze and blizzards. Her survival pushes Krile levels of miraculous.

    it's weird that Drav Frontierland and The Black Shroud are green and the whole area between them is snow. At least the NW part of North Shroud should have some snow.

    As a few others have said, there's a lot of land in between those areas that we don't actually see because everything in the game is condensed for the sake of convenience. While the Dravanian Forelands and the Coerthas Western Highlands are "next door" to each other, they are not literally a stepping stone away to have the weather affect both regions at once.

    We are actually still missing a large chunk of Coerthas from 1.0, although some of this area has been added back in as Pvp's Fields of Glory. Coerthas Eastern (and Central apparently) Lowlands are actually in between Coerthas Central Highlands and the Shroud. That's more likely to be the transition area. That zone line is skipping over a huge area of land. If you look at the 1.0 maps the current Shroud/Coerthas zone line is just odd.

    Unless its just a translation error(which I hope it is) apparently Fields of Glory is in Eastern Highlands now. I hope this is looked into soon and corrected or we are told lowlands was retconned out. I still wish we got the central lowlands to transition into the snowy highlands, makes me sad every time
