Circumnavigation? Westeros does not follow such vile desert traditons
Good one Anon
Lads what’s in Sothoryos?
Rape and AIDS
Abo, Basilisk, Wyvern, and super aids.
>Lads what’s in Sothoryos?
King kongs, dinosaurs, basilisk, wyerns, lizard men.
I know people are hard on the map design but I like how off it looks. In line with the vibe of the books. Something just isn't right in this place. However Essos being another rectangle is lazy as hell.
Essos isn’t actually a rectangle, the maps we have are just what the Maesters have created and because they don’t have any real way of mapping out the area they represent it with a rough shape, just like what happened IRL
IRL Medieval Italians and Catalans had quite accurate nautical maps, at least for the places they knew well like the Mediterranean
>this Britain and the Baltic Sea region.
Yeah Catalans mostly navigated in the Mediterranean and Black Sea
Irrelevant literal-who-lands
Wow would you look at that, all the North African/ Moorish guys at the botton have light skin
Wtf do you mean? Has anyone ever said that moors were literal Black folks?
Occasionally, usually in cases of casting Othello
It's a very common statement made by blacks that feel insecure about being historically irrelevant and dumb.
We wuz moors, moors civilized Europe and so on. I see it frequently on social media.
westeros looks moronic because he needed the map to fit on a portrait-oriented page in a book. don’t overthink it
I feel like the western part of essos is a bit empty
The most interesting parts of Planetos are never seen and barely even mentioned in the story.
I wish we had some storyline go into Asshai.
>ancient city of unknown origin
>barely populated, in good part by sorcerers and occultists
>magical hotspot of the world, in the worst way possible
>glowing white river where only deformed fish survive
>animals and children die shortly after being in the city
The further away places are the less people actually know about them and the more wacky ridiculous stories get told about them. That stuff's probably 99% bullshit.
>asshai
Probably all depraved shit. Isn't the red c**t from there?
Primitive compared to the other locations.
The necropolis further north does hold some mysteries.
Ahhh asoiaf, the fantasy series which never has any actual fantasy in it
blame d&d, they took alot of the fantasy and magic out.
No that’s what the books are like. Constantly hinting at fantasy stuff but never actually showing it centre stage
>blame d&d
White Walkers are in the show far more than they are in the books, where they have one scene after the very first one
That's why it's good. Secretive magic with occult and horror themes that exists on the periphery and influences events from the shadows is way better than a battle mage casting fireballs to vaporise a hundred goblins. Though I will say I think dragons are too big and overpowered. They should be smaller and still a massive asset but not a totally impervious instawin button. We see this issue finally culminate in the show where they had to be killed in comical fashion.

This.
And that's a good thing, the most of all other fantasy doesn't have such a great potential for exploration. Other authors just describe their whole setting and that's all.
what's Asshai's tax policy?
That's like complaining that Europeans didn't know about the American continents in the 1200's. No, they do NOT understand circumnavigation, and are unsure generally about the shape of the world - mostly because any previous attempts at sending ships far in that direction seem to have failed. Heck, as viewers WE are still unsure about the shape of the SOIAF setting, so you can bet that most people within it don't even have the start of an idea.
maybe illiterate peasants who lived and died in the same patch of earth thought the world was flat but seafarers definitely didn't
Game of Thrones is actually set in the One Piece universe
Shockingly bad map. Almost as bad as this.
tell me about brysBANE
why is it on the coast?
The coast is cool
It's very hot in the Back Out
Dunno if this is meant to be a spoof, but why are "dothraki" shit everywhere? Weren't they nomadic horsemen? How the frick did they get to "australia"?
Unrelated but I think an oceaned Mars has a great map for a fantasy setting
>what’s west of Westeros?
Westestos
Amerikos.
>circumnavigation
What if on the grand scale Westeros is something like Britain and Essos is like Europe.
Didn’t Euron supposedly sail to Asshai? Being the one guy in the story to encounter that whacky shit first hand should have really made his character more creepy and mysterious. Instead we got Mr Finger in the Bum.
In the books Euron is this purple-toothed dread warlock with a dragon horn and a crew of people with their tongues removed, he was pretty exotic
>what’s west of Westeros?
Not that much. The cooler stuff is in the south.
Where is this from
fanmade map from reddit asoiaf
TOTAL ANGLO SUPREMECY
wouldn’t dragon riders have long ago found if there was anything west? dragons would make exploration very easy
they say some dragon riders flew and flew and found nothing so turned back
same with the targaryan princess that tried to explore sothoros she flew as far south as she could but the continent was so massive eventually she turned back and said it was just endless jungle
Zesteros, it's where the black people live.
