Descent: Journeys in the Dark (Second Edition)

Are two spaces that touch only at a corner adjacent when a wall separates them?

Forum answers lean toward the wall blocking adjacency, but the rulebook wording alone would say otherwise.

Players disagree, but the better-supported answer is no. The rulebook defines adjacent as sharing an edge or a corner, and diagonal spaces are adjacent, but several posters and an FAQ entry they cite say spaces on opposite sides of a black wall or tile edge are neither adjacent nor in line of sight to each other. Spaces that touch at a corner with no wall between them are adjacent. One poster read the rulebook's corner example as making wall-separated corners adjacent.
