	:::Because the whole planet's size and features would be severely distorted if we treat Animus simulation maps as canonical to the real ''Assassin's Creed'' world, we should always refer to real geography over Animus or game geography. That doesn't mean we can't interpret the Animus simulations as showing us some things about how a place really looked like ''Assassin's Creed'' in a certain period though (e.g. how the Library of Alexandria "really" looked like). Relative distances and positions is what we should be most careful about. Is it necessary to describe Wenlocan Abbey in detail relation to Dunmastun Lake more closely? The lede sounds fine to me as it is right now.
