You are a man of some knowledge.

Why thanks.

Dawson Loenichen yeah that would be cool

yes!!

Corlys Velaryon Thanks, I should have thought to google it myself

oh and in the dothraki sea too

In the Westerlands. Their magical variants (similar to wolves and direwolves) are probably extinct, as mentioned by the child of the forest (forgot her name) when she told Bran how there was no more place in the world for the original magical inhabitants of Westeros.

I had this question too. Lions probably crossed the arm of Dorne or were brought over from parts of Essos or the summer isles. European countries used lions on their sigils so a medieval fantasy lord would probably find them sick too.

They are found in the westerlands in the hills

I'm interested to see CivEx's take on the GEotD.

Corlys Velaryon I second this the GEOTD sounds really interesting an significant, like a proto Valyria w out the slavery and blood magic

The five forts would be a great video topic

Lucifer means Lightbringer does some cool videos on the great empire of the dawn

William Thorneycroft its called 'The Elder scrolls'. Noob

Thank you! And to answer your question there is no difference. Ainur is the name of their species, before the creation of the world, the Ainur lived with god in the timeless halls. But then when the world was created, some the Ainur went into the world. Those that were most powerful became known as the Valar. While those of less power were called the Maiar. So they are all of the species Ainur, but they were divided into 2 classes when they came into the world. :)

CivilizationEx thanks man!

dtt1900 I think he's the half hand. I don't think he's asking for "corn."

SerNoddicusTheGallant I attempted to read Mazalan and I got stumped by the 4th page...

A lot of the story is based off of British History. Hell even the map is based off of the UK. But I agree that this stuff is VERY extensive, though he has had a lot of time to develop the stories.

It's based on real world conflicts and politics, the Italian City-States really comes to mind. Fiction is based off reality, the middle ages are a really fertile chunk of history to dig in for inspiration. The parallels are many. We can even make a comparison to the Fall of Rome when we talk about the Doom of Valyria.

time.

Dude let me spell it out for you First Men = Celts/Romans The Wall = Hadrians Wall Andals = Anglo Saxons 7 Andal Kingdoms = 7 Anglo Saxon Kingdoms Aegon the Conqueror = William the Conqueror and as you say, War of the Roses, Richard Duke of York attempting to seize the crown from Henry VI 'The Mad King' (and as some one above me mentioned, Valyria and it's similarity to Rome both geographically and in terms of power/influence. How did you not see this? It's literally from Martin's own mouth too that Britain and it's relationship with Europe/Asia is his main source of historical inspiration, with the obvious inclusion of high stakes fantasy elements.

No i know that much but is it even farmable agfter all those wars fought in it? I mean other than tthe land itself whats is special about it that they must fight for 400 years for it

The Disputed Lands aren't wasted. There would be no logic to fighting over them if they were. They're extremely arable lands, it's just all the warring means they don't have the stability to output as much as they could. racefortheironthrone.tumblr.com/post/153474415876/maester-steven-regarding-the-free-cities-how-do

December and January are for Star Wars vids (and a couple ASOIAF) but starting in February I will go back to LOTR and others. Probably 1 LOTR a month.

He said that it takes him roughly 40 hours on average to make each video.

CivilizationEx what's the name of the soundtrack playing in the background mate ?

i remember that show/book series!!!

kwadwo baidoo I love the books I hate the TV show no offense

Thomas K96 none taken. its so nostalgic though

kwadwo baidoo your right watching the show without having any knowledge of the books will be pretty entertaining

Tunggang Nyo Langgang.

I can't think of anything I would want to do less lol.

I'd live in Oldtown, Arbor, or maybe Highgarden. My God is the Reach a real estate hotspot

Probably because it's the biggest food producer of Westeros, meaning that food probably is cheaper than anywhere else, and the fact that the most recent battle fought in the Reach was the battle of Ashford, that is even on the border. Basically, you won't die quickly and violently there.

i wouid like to live in the westerlands

i would not wanna live in westeros at all (maybe dorne as the exception). probably the summer isles or qarth or lys

kwadwo baidoo So you would want to live in Qarth which is currently being sacked by Various dothrahki hordes? Or The summer isles where the princes sell their people into slavery and are constantly warring with one another? Dorne sounds pretty cool but I feel like it'd be hard fitting in other kingdoms. Lys sounds like paradise if you have enough money.

Toastiest Gamer No one cares
