    I love it! Using West as the main Cardinal - why not? Great thinking, and another beautiful drawing ! I love the way the curves of the W follow the Dragon's wing.

    Why not?

    Historically, East was often used as the main cardinal indicating the holy land was to the East. In a fantasy world, it would make sense for the primary direction to be in that of something very important (or superstitious).
