This is a possibility, Nonnie! The party’s where it’s at, after all.
(Just for laughs, though: your ask made me wonder if Elves would then logically refer to North as East? East as South? South as West? Have they, in fact, turned the compass 90 degrees clockwise?)
idk, I don’t pay too much attention to that aspect of the movies, really. I am much more tickled by the Captain Obvious Legolas stuff. That’s a little character tweak I can get behind: makes him feel a little natural and flawed and real rather than perfectly-perfect… and perfectly boring.
