Well seeing as north and south are determined by alignment of the magnetic poles and not by the planets rotational axis, you could have planet with its magnetic poles located at the equator, then assuming you were on the north side, you would encounter warmer climates traveling north and colder climates traveling south.Swagger7 wrote...

I hate to bring seriousness into the meme thread, but I don't see how this would be possible. Either you'd have a day that lasted half a year, or (if the planet was tidally locked) no day/night cycle, and Thedas clearly has normal days and nights.....
You could just say "A wizard did it", but you can't say "Axial tilt did it".
Um, what?
North and south are not determined by a planet's magnetic field. The poles are the axis of the planet's rotation. The "magnetic poles" aren't even in the same place as the actual north and south poles on Earth. Hell, magnetic north is almost 1000 miles from the north pole, it moves over 30 miles per year, and it's not even precisely lined up with magnetic south. When you use a compass you find magnetic north, then you compensate for the difference between magnetic north and true north to find out where north is.

Thank you all. Most amusing.
