mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
nootka
>nootka sound
>nutka means little musical note in polish
>the sound of musical note
BRAVO
On the thumbnail Burgeros kinda looks like Doge en face
>...and your other map
>I said the full map...
This is canon btw. The Others come from the middle of Essos which on a globe map is the north pole.
the FULL map
Are the people inhibating inner lands smaller and smaller, or are they the same, just their fights over land are fiercer?
This is too interesting.
The other versions are funny because of how uninspired they are.
but wouldnt that make the purple waste fall on the north pole
should be alot colder then
The world is donut shaped.
Get it because George is fat
can you make that a globe
>Fantasy version of the West Coast of the US
>"The Broken Lands"
isn't wh fantasy set on earth
isn't 40k just fantasy but 40000 years in the future?
no, wrong on both counts
they why does the solar system exist in 40k? checkmate atheist
>sea of chill
>sea of malice
Why aren't there ever fantasy versions of slavic countries
Yeah, right, but it was written by Pole, so doesn't really count
Also Netflix did it dirty, could have made something original by introducing slavic elements like the games did, but instead they made another generic fantasy, but with melanzane
Yea the Witcher world is based on Europe (rotated 90 degrees). Redania is Poland.
I think the rhun are slavs in lotr
The galeoth in aspect-emperor are not-slavs too
Kislev from that map sounds Slavic
>mysterios
Every time
Seriously though does aoiaf have the worst world map ever?
You're not taking a shitpost seriously are you?
No I know the second half of the map is a joke but I always find it hilarious like mysterios and the tooth, Hong Kong etc, but that aside the real asoiaf map is garbage, it looks stupid and from a geological view it makes no sense either if the world is supposed to be earth like in weather anyway.
It's quite literally only one part of the world that explorers from this region have managed to map out.
For me it’s
>the tooth
Disappointed there's no dothraki puddle
Where's Australios?
Brysbane
Qarth probably
I want to live on the coast of the Four Channels
Oldtown is arguably the most desirable place to live in Westeros. Title for Essos would go to Braavos or Pentos
>Oldtown is arguably the most desirable place to live in Westeros
why
Oldtown is basically Sodom and populated by Maesters. Its a disgusting hotbed of progressivism and Oldtown is behind all major wars in Westeros.
rich + never been sacked like King's Landing
>bravoos
>desirable
??? The entire city probably smells of fish and salt water. Pentos sure I’d say Lys is number 1 by far. It’s like Hawaii with blondes instead of fat maoris
Pentos and Lys has slavery and fireworshipping israelites.
You say that like it’s bad, and it’s weird to connect rhllor worship with israelites when that’s clearly a combination of the iron bank and Oldtown. Red worshippers are probably closer to jehova witnesses
Zoroastrianism……
Still not israelites
Braavos is meant to be Venice it would be fine. Lys is also good pick assuming you're not a slave haha
>Braavos is meant to be Venice
Yeah, and venice fricking stinks
it doesn't I was there
you've clearly never been to venice
Venice is a fricking miserable shithole minus the architecture it’s nice to visit for a few days not to live in, and bravoosi and Italians aren’t the same. Bravoosi are closer to Turks or Cyprans
you are the blonde to them anon. Boy/Girl dont matter, theyll put you to work in the pleasure houses.
there is only one choice for coombrains. the summer isles
>surrounded by Black folk
pass
Amerikos, but only after Ser Georg Wasghyntaun's revolution.
Most likely Qarth, its location basically guarantees endless prosperity and it's in the middle of a desert and thus impossible to attack.
>middle of the desert
>endless prosperity
Lmao
>largest harbor in the world by an order of magnitude
>sits on the only route between the Summer Sea and the Jade Sea
>only port from Yi Ti to Volantis that doesn't have to fear Dothraki raids
>not endlessly prosperous
Lmaoing back at you, moron
Realistically, King's Landing.
It’s THE shittiest city anon
Westerosi HATE having good, clean cities
There's more work in the city, and the brothels are far superior.
Dorne looks comfy
It is, but, homosexual polygamous sand people live there
There are literally no good places to live if you’re a normal person, or “small folk.” Even a regular person in bravos is in for a life of monotonous back breaking labor.
If you are a man of means then probably the Arbor or Old Town.
Join the Faceless men in Braavos and live the good life.
Faceless Men don’t lead good lives
>contract killing
>basically superpowered
>highly skilled
that's a good life m8
You have to abandon your identity and cut your face (and drink some tart liquid) before putting a face on. The faceless may even kill you during training. It is not a guarantee. They function more like a mystery cult.
For me, it's the Lonely Light.
Or perhaps the Arbor.
The Neck
>Chilling in a crannog, catching frogs, shooting blowdarts at Ironmen
The Sisters
>Small islands with a separate culture, in a bay so less danger from storms, nobody cares enough to invade
Braavos
>Selling oysters, seeing Elizabethan theater live, clean water
>Lonely Light
My man
Valyria
Anon that’s the single worst place to be in the whole entirety of the setting. You have two-headed hookers just from being in the outermost reaches of its proximity. It is *hell*.
all i know about Valyria is that supposedly some chick came back from it infested with some weird worms and other monstrosities crawling out of her body. Anything else you can tell about the lore of that place why you'd consider it the worst?
The people living in Mantarys on the outermost reaches of the Valyrian peninsula pickle human heads in jars as a form of hobby.
The worms inside Aerea were absolutely horrific since they also had hands and faces and had horrible voices.
Might run on Xenomorph logic—taking on the host’s qualities.
Who knows what monster managed to wound Balerion too.
damn that sounds cool as frick
need to continue with the books, just read the first one and watched the show
none of that shit's in the main books. it's in the side lore crap that has nothing to do with anything. and why bother since it's never getting finished
The Mantarys part is in both the books and the world book. Daenerys sends an envoy to Mantarys, and they send them back in jars filled with brine. There are also two-headed prostitutes in Slaver’s Bay, imported from Mantarys.
Maelys the Monstrous (the two headed monster of a man a young Barristan slew—in pic) may also have something to do with the place, or the condition.
The War of the Ninepenny Kings was very interesting.
the environment is straight up uninhabitable, it's like a nuclear bomb went off there
I'd go live west of westeros with Maisie
maybe it is, maybe it isn't
Lys because all of the best prostitute houses are there
I’d try to learn magic of some kind
I don’t expect to be very successful
Imagine being a magic user in this world
>be hedge wizard, calling your silly tricks and sleight of hand “magic” like an idiot
>be woods witch, calling your herbal tea and midwifery “magic” like an idiot
>be maester, studying rare arcane lore that will amount to fricking nothing
>be alchemist, drinking mercury like a crazy person, claiming it does wonders
>be pyromancer, making green shit that can barely be handled without dying
>be poisoner, poisoning people like a cowardly woman’s weapon (c**t)
>be warlock, sipping LSD like a hippy, claiming it’s real mystical insight
>be red priest, burning your retina like an idiot, for maaaaybe a lousy vision
>be a dreamer, get dreams that want to hurt you or even kill you
>be skinchanger, hoping your bear or mountain lion won’t eat your face
>be greenseer, crippling yourself and attaching your body to a creepy tree
>be crannogman, “breathing” mud like a frog and looking malnourished
>be maegi, pray to the great shepherd you won’t be raped by horse men
All idiots
>I don’t expect to be very successful
Yeah because you’re an idiot
>>be crannogman, “breathing” mud like a frog and looking malnourished
Please don't talk about my wife like that.
Being a hedge wizard or a woods witch ain’t so bad. Rural folk will come to you to cure them of their warts, or have you brew moon tea. Even maesters do this.
Why haven’t the maesters figured out how to make wildfire?
Would piss off the alchemists.
They are smart enough not to antagonize other long established guilds.
Why the actual hell should the Citadel care what some inbred underground nerds think? The alchemists are a shell of their former glory.
okay, but what's west of Westeros?
It's just a giant waterfall that drops off the side of the world into nothingness
The east of Essos, apparently. Whoever landed on the Iron Islands and Oldtown were from Asshai, or near there.
Not alot, when an expedition of 3 ships sailed west it took them years to find 3 small tropical islands that were uninhabited. Around that time 1 ship sank, 1 turned back and the last kept going. About 100 years later the last ship was seen at Asshai the eastern most part of the map without it's crew.
>the dothraki sea
>it's land
bravo martin
Summer Isles.
>The Summer Islanders are strong and tall, a handsome people eager to learn. Their skin color includes nut brown, teak, ebony, and polished jet. Their hair and eyes are black.
>The Summer Islanders worship a score of deities, with the god and goddess of love, beauty, and fertility being the most favored.The act of lovemaking is considered an important and even holy skill, with all islanders expected to serve for a time in temples of love. The most skilled and dedicated, those who would be can become respected priests and priestesses.
>No doubt he dreamt of brown-skinned wenches naked beneath feathered cloaks, with nipples black as coal.
The thought of some prostitute like Sasha Gray being a pope is fricking hilarious, based Blacks
Being an iron islander and raping/pillaging the coast of Westeros seems like the most based life
They haven't gotten to rape or pillage anything for a couple decades though. Just sit on their shitty little wet rocks being miserable eating moss and the occasional fish. Still seething about how they were beaten decades ago and too stupid to adapt and become a powerhouse economy by transporting everyone else's cargo by sea.
Fine then Id just be a fisherman with a BBW fat titted wife
I always thought the map of GoT looked weird, even compared to other fantasy maps which typically have the action happens on a single landmass, sometimes two. Is there any in-universe reason for the tetris continents?
It's just zoomed in. The full map looks fine
It’s based on old medieval maps and isn’t supposed to be accurate
A satellite image of Westeros would likely look different as well
Once you see the truth you'll never look at the GOT the same again
>the map is basically Europe but Italy is a smoking crater and Spain is a bunch of islands full of Black folk
Hmmmm.....
I'd live somewhere between High Garden and Dorne.
Whichever has the best policy towards land owners, but stay north of the desert of Dorne.
>Whichever has the best policy towards land owners
The land owning policy is "the rich nobles own all of it, the peasants toil away their lives farming it". You wouldn't get to be a noble.
Asshai. Leave me alone.
I too would like to find a nice lady from the lady of Ass High
Asshai is apparently quite empty. Largest city in the world, but everyone walks alone. Hmm. Sorcerers and such keep to their own, it seems. No children or animals either, just blind mutated fish in the river.
The Wolfswood in the North
Being a direwolf with a direwolf wife there would be beyond comfy.
The Reach doesn't seem to bad. It's bascailly The Shire but with regular people. Who cares if the liege lord's sigil is a fricking apple. Farm abit, lie about being descended from Garth Greenhand to try and impress the girl next farm.
the sigil of house tyrell is a golden rose not an apple
House Fossoway's sigil is an apple
I just want to say that, as a Red Apple Fossoway, Green Apple Fossoways are homosexuals and most likely homosexuals.
Makes sense. Green apples taste disgusting and overly tart/sour I hate them.
As a Green Apple Fossoway, I'd like to say that Red Apple Fossoways are oathbreakers and possible homosexuals. Derrick "The Bad Apple" Fossoway was obliviously a Red Apple Fossoway who spoiled the bunch before throwing in his lot with the Blackfyre Pretenders in the War of the Ninepenny Kings
well everything below Winterfell seems fine since the biggest and worst enemy of ALL TIMES came as far as 50 miles south of the wall until he got shanked by the bawd
The most dangerous enemy in this world aren’t the white walkers / undead
>hehe lé smaaaht face
bugger off
All I’m saying is that the Valyrians were the single worst thing to happen to the world.
they have no influence on the end of the overarching story -> see the end of the show
fatso gonna croak before he releases the last book in 20 years
According to the Fat Man it only takes THREE dragons to save the day against the apocalypse of the dead.
Valyria had HUNDREDS. Dragons are just so fricking amazing…
>had
those are really cool stories from the past. I am talking about the present in the book/show story.
Valyrians with 100 dragons are not gonna invade Westeros in the next 5 chapters
The White Walkers should have won and frozen most of Westeros. It's the theme that playing the Game of Thrones in the face of apocalypse is stupid and an utter tragedy.
Very lazy worldbuilding.
Dorne should not be a desert because the rainshadow falls on the Reach
Tell me about rainshadows! Why do they affect certain areas?
What's next in your Masters in Geography?
We don't really know which side the winds tend to come from in the Red Mountains. However, we do know that the Stormlands and Shipbreaker Bay are named after the massive cyclones that make landfall there after driving all the way up from the Summer Sea. Unless these exclusively go over the Stepstones and/or Lys and Tyrosh first, which doesn't really make sense, Dorne should be on their path too, and so at least the tip of the Broken Arm should be green. So yes, very lazy worldbuilding indeed.
Somewhere in Reach or Braavos. Any other place is a constant battlefield, slaveraiding hotspot or dothraki screamers attacking 24/7.
This man angers me because of how unrealistic it is. The people of Westeros would know about the eastern most edge of Essos, assuming there were people there. Western Europe knew about China and Japan even during antiquity. This is because, even though you can't travel there or communicate with them directly you could still talk to your neighbor. And, because they could talk to their neighbor, who could talk to their neighbor, who could talk to their neighbor, etc. eventually the information would make it's way across the world.
>great empire of the dawn
They weren’t not!Asian. The GEotD was misinterpreted. The Valyrian precursors weren’t even human. They came from the sea and went around the world raping and breeding with people.
Cope. Cultivationchads ruled the world for thousands of years before everyone else. It was only after they got bored and decided to ascend that other kingdoms popped up.
Between Maisie's thighs
Based. I think one of the stupidest things was to have her frick off on her own. But they made her a superhero so had to get her out of the story somehow.
probably Winterfell. or one of the surroundin villages. i like the cold
The Greatest City that Ever Was or Will Be
I feel robbed by season 2, Daenerys was supposed to be bald and with one tit out
God I miss those early seasons when the show was still good.
God damn that ass looks good, what a shame what happened to it
my god the whole Qarth arc sucked so fricking much.
>WHERE ARE MY DRAGONS
>KHALESSI DID I EVER TELL YOU IM THE RICHEST MAN IN QARTH AND CAME FROM NOTHING?
>COME TO THE HOUSE OF THE UNDYING MY SWEET
Qarth in the books was so mysterious and exotic. I’m still mad about season 2.
id live in the neck, swamps are cool
Enjoy eating frogs and bathing in mud.
i will, thank you
>Enjoy eating frogs
Oh I'll eat a frog alright if you know what I mean.
>I’ve been half a decade since /Got/ would shit on the newest episode release live with thousands of comments an hour with 10s of offshoot threads made to make fun of something stupid like Bran being a timelord and being a rape fetishist
Time of my life.
2016 was probably the best year for memes and shitposting, season 6 was well and truly when the show became irredeemable after 5s miserable tumble dive, the presidential election.. every day Keks could be had. Rampant theoryposting… gods it was fun then
>still thinking GRRM has any level of consistent worldbuilding when he can't even comprehend how tall a 700ft wall would be
What about it? Brandon used giants and magic to build it and for 8000 years the nights watch has been adding layers to make it taller.
The bizarre part is that people south of the wall are fine with dragons and gods but then scoff at the notion of ice demons when there’s a 700 foot tall 300 mile long wall separating Westeros from the north, like do they believe people would build that from superstition?
He was completely baffled by how massive the wall turned out to be while working on the show. He's absolutely terrible with figures.
That may be but I think it fits, the fact that it’s so tall really sells just how terrified they are of them
>Brandon used giants and magic to build it and for 8000 years the nights watch has been adding layers to make it taller.
Don’t take the legends as gospel fact.
George compares them to the legends of King Arthur or Gilgamesh. Did these figures exist? Maybe in some way they did, but it’s hard to say, as all these stories have been distorted by the ages.
In the case of their being a 82k square kilometre ice wall I’m inclined to believe there’s magic involved and people were very keen to separate the world from the other side, not just to screw tribal people over
There was clearly magic involved, but, in what manner we cannot say. We know there are things frozen *inside* the Wall too, probably as foundational magics.
It’s also worth noting that the Asshai’i believe Casterly Rock is a palace made entirely out of gold, ruled by a lion, and even the peasants are filthy rich.
>The bizarre part is that people south of the wall are fine with dragons and gods but then scoff at the notion of ice demons when there’s a 700 foot tall 300 mile long wall separating Westeros from the north, like do they believe people would build that from superstition?
Is it really so bizarre? Didn’t we just have a thread about grumpkins and snarks? Dragons, despite being gone from the world, were de-mystified in Westeros as not so mere flying beasts. The gods are matters of faith, of course, and cannot be proven true ever. Superstition is rampant, but magic is still incredibly rare.
>The bizarre part is that people south of the wall are fine with dragons and gods but then scoff at the notion of ice demons
Wow it's almost like dragon are an unambiguously confirmed real species in their world that you can still go and see the skeletons of, while basically no living person has ever seen a white walker or is able to produce proof of.
You might as well ask why people in real life don't believe in fairies and elves despite the fact that the platypus exists. Just a complete non sequiter that demonstrates how incapable you are of imagining the perspective of someone from a different reality from yours.
What do you mean? I did eat platypus this morning
The first (white) guy to observe the pink orchid mantis told his country (when he got back) that it was a literal flower that detached from its stem and walked around eating bugs like a carnivorous plant.
And?
I don’t know I’m not the guy you responded to.
There used to be much more magic in the world
Slight exaggeration to get more pussy
Lys is literally an island of brothels full of 10/10 Valryian women, why would I go anywhere else
For me it's Starfall
Are there any actually good fantasy maps? As in they look like an actual believable land mass?
Not really, most fantasy authors aren't great with geography
That looks really familiar...
I believe that's the joke
I tried messing around with online generators but most of them seem to create random fractal shapes. The best I've managed to do is to cannibalize existing landmasses but even then you can tell it's something like patagonia and alaska merged and flipped upside down.
Getting a fantasy map to look natural is hard. I don't blame those authors who just use the europe template since most just want to tell a story and aren't too concerned with tectonic plates
Summer Isles
I'd live on the Summer Isles so I can eat delicious fruit and have sex with hot nubian queens all day
