I stand corrected. I looked at a map and you're right: there's nowhere to go from the Outpost but North and West. I didn't find the drow by "going South and finding the path". That's a fake memory I fabricated after the fact. Turns out, there's a quest marker indicating the drows' location. Then, because of the written directions, I assumed that I had gone South by going to the yellow icon.

So I'm with you: saying the drow are South is just wrong for no reason and should be corrected. Maybe just say "nearby" and not mention cardinal directions at all if there's going to be a minimap marker anyway.
