Overlaying the Shadow Relam map with the Lands Between map
Apparently at some point in the past, the landmasses in the Realm of Shadow occupied the Lands Between.
Understanding when and where this occurred is key to the lore at this point.
Ive tried flipping the maps around and trying to match up the fissures, surrounding landscape and trying to figure out where/when everything originally sat. Pay attention to the architecture - the ruins that dot the Lands Between are clearly the same as in Crucible/Rauh, with the same spiral tree imagery.

I think the artists were going for the impression that parts of the Lands Between were cleaved off by the godly will of Marika (western Liurnia, southern and northern Altus, Gelmir, parts of the Mountaintops, Wailing Dunes, etc) and banished to the hidden realm.
Much time has passes, so these landmasses then drifted and congealed into the vertical, varied, and overlapping Shadow Realm.
Has anyone noticed any overlap? the landmass outside of Shadow Keep looks like it used to sit where the hole under Forest Spanning Greatbridge is in Altus.

The Shadow Realm is a bit bigger than 2x the size of Caelid (like literaly in terms of landmasses) fom what I could notice but no amount of "flipping" Shadow Realm or Lands Between maps around would maake aany of the both fit together neitther anywhere closse even more considering where the erdtree iss at the shadow realm and where it is at the lands between, it is literally "a different place".

The map is obviously not to scale. And yes, try scaling it down a bit and matching up the regions instead of the whole map.

I tried, when I first saw I considered it to be Caelid but expanded" but I then did more "trying to match it" and it just dont work.

Well some people have done some preliminary work, and yes, parts of the map overlay perfectly.
