Actually, I'd like to wager that Drangleic used to be Zena. I found a map, it's unofficial, but it's accurate (http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/248/a/7/dark_souls__lordran_and_the_surrounding_kingdoms_by_elguapo1991-d5dnbtg.jpg). If you compare that to the map in the basement of the Majula Mansion, it looks very much like Zena. However, I don't want to jump to conclusions here. It could well be one part of Vinheim. If you manipulate the map within the basement, it looks like the left island of Vinheim. I can't find much more to support it over geographical evidence, but considering how this takes place 1000 years after DS1, and things like erosion would have occurred (the irregularities between the in game map and this one seem to support this, as you can see by the bottom pointy bit of land at the bottom of the map) making Carim seem more likely. Again, I'm open-minded, and it could be Vinheim, but against this, no matter how I manipulate the map, none of it looks similar to Vinheim. At the top of the left side Vinheim island has 3 bumps, and they aren't visible on the Drangleic map, even if you manipulate it. Whilst you can take erosion as a point again, it seems a lot more severe, or you could even conceive there being MORE land. With that being pretty much impossible, I'd like to stick to my original argument, that Drangleic may very well have been Zena.
