You fool! I ain't going on no boat!

I see you are a man of exceptional taste who appreciates the truly patrician waifus, spooky waifus.

@Dank Data This killed me. xD Gonna have to get in touch with the Deep Ones to get deep into that one.

I am with you bro!

Fuzzy Dunlop Hahaha! Nicely done! 😂

That would rival the elder scrolls and every other fantasy game ever created. I really want that to happen now.

CDProjektRed would be the best dev for that IMO, Witcher 3 is very similar to Game of Thrones.

Yea and make Sothoryos the top tier rare area but even if you have the best items you will die and /or suffer a lot.

@@ChrisPPotatoIDC the shawdowlands would habe high teir loot aswell.

Ck2:Agot mod or Mount and Blade: ASoIaF mods are the closest thing to it.

Yeah GRRM said it will never be shown or expanded on. Asshai and the Stygai at the heart of darkness are meant to be a mystery and left as an imposing and dangerous place with no real clue about what's going on there. Especially the Stygai, does some ancient evil live there? Is there a portal to the seven hells itself? We will never know

Well you won’t. It’s specifically shrouded in mystery because it’s so far from any POV char. Remember, GRRM specifically writes in a way that shows any exposition or context is tied to the POV characters biases and ignorance/knowledge. I doubt we will see a POV from Quaithe and the concept Asshai is likely just a simple place of what could be called “heathland” and unconventional culture that is left as what we here due to distance and lack of first hand knowledge: EVEN “Fire and Blood” is WRITTEN FROM A MAESTER- a Targaryen supporter even.

theres a 4th continent too! how cool

@@2mac_mini952 super cool

It’s based on the lore of ancient India before westerners travelled there

She was stupid to go to westeros

I very much regret looking at these comments without finishing the series...

@@sushidope1701 don't go past season six you will be happy to never experience the last two, you can pretend it didn't end in the worst way possible.

@@sushidope1701 Lmao that sucks dude, but don't even watch the last two seasons.

Hbo is non-canon

Trust me History Channel is working on it. And if your first reaction to that is "what does that have to do with history?!?!" that's the tagline for the entire channel now.

*Witcher music starts playing in the background*

Muscovy= Mossovy?

I mean The Witcher series is basically that

Gledaš Demon Hunter?

There's one in pre-production. It's called "Empire of Ash" and deals with the Valyrian Empire shortly before the Doom. Incest, dragons, political struggles for power, lots of different cultures and religions. Nothing's been officially confirmed yet, but there have been leaks.

Bartimaeus of Uruk that would be so cool if it makes it to pilot then hopefully season.

@@darkstardayne8760 I agree.

@@bartimaeusofuruk9681 I thought they were going with The Long Night?

@@jascrandom9855 They have multiple prequels in different stages of development. Long Night will start filming next year, Empire of Ash is in pre-production (and not officially confirmed yet, but there have been leaks).

What's most interesting is that a few decades later, Corlys Velaryon visited Asshai as part of a grand series of voyages of exploration. He saw what he thought was Elissa Farman's ship the Sun Chaser in the harbor. If it was indeed the Sun Chaser, then it means that Elissa managed to cut through the unknown opposite side of the world and loop back into known lands.

Oh whoa, I just realized who I was replying to! I hope your power comes back soon and you get back to making great videos!

"The Journey of the Sun Chaser" allone could be a docent books long series. Maybe in a few decades the heirs of GRRM could publish a (semi-)canonical series based on his notes.

@Athem Froste up to fans? No way not unless he gives permission. We can write fanfic but nothing official that's insane

And again, with regard to budget, there are make-up artists, costumes, actors, filming sites, writing a coherent script(can’t just tour the location in a show), etc. Here’s an example: a lot easier to talk about or write about people eating sailors who are in their midst than to run episodes about it. You guys are letting your imagination interfere with practical aspects of a program.

There’s not even 200 there’s not even an island. It’s just a bunch of fat chicks floating in the water

Well, I am not sure "exists" is the right word xD

True... I remember reading "Germania" by the Roman ethnographer Tacitus, which was a compendium of information about the Germanic peoples beyond the northern borders of the Roman Empire. At one point, he gets to the areas beyond the Finns in northeastern Europe (around modern northern Russia) and says the people there are said to be animal-human hybrids, but dismisses it as rumors. The reality is probably that the hunter-gatherer people there wore animal skins to keep warm in the harsh, cold environment, and paired with neighboring peoples considering them uncivilized and savage, the tall tales of "animal people" spread to distort the truth. Maester Yandel makes a similar hypothesis about the scary lizard-men called the Shrykes living beyond Yi Ti's Five Forts - Are they really just humans wearing lizard skins? A lot of these places in the far east of Westeros - Nefer, Mussovy, K'Dath, Carcosa, Bonetown, the Cities of the Bloodless Men, the City of Winged Men, the Shadowlands... They're all described as having necromancers and sorcerers and blood mages and demon hunters. These lands are almost the equivalent of Siberia in our world, though - a vast, bleak landscape beyond the "known world" that, like eastern Essos, no one in the "known world" seems to know or care much about - The ancient Chinese didn't seem interested in determining the northern limits of Asia. We do know that Siberia was and is inhabited by animist tribes, though. What if all the talk about scary wizards beyond the Grey Waste are actually just normal people practicing animism, perhaps with some fantasy magic thrown in, whose mostly harmless shamans have been sensationalized by fearful neighbors who are frightened and appalled by their cultural differences?

Quite right... but in this one case there may be more to it than that. The Septons are working from holy books written when the Andals were living in Andalos, having just left the Axe. If the Seven Pointed Star is going to give us informed commentary on anything, it should be the region it was written in. Plus, look at the geography of Essos. You've got a realm of dark magic (Nefer), then a dark wasteland where monsters live (Mossovy and the Thousand Islands), and then a realm of mist, then darkness, then chaos. The interior of the continent (east of the Bleeding Sea and the Five Forts) is unknown. Coming from the south, you get a realm of dark magic (Asshai), then a dark wasteland where monsters live (shrykes, bloodless men, and winged men), and then a realm of darkness (The Shadow and Stygai). Note also the linguistic similarities among peoples otherwise separated by great distance and formidable geographic obstacles. It seems like some magical cataclysm wrapped the whole far, far east of Essos in darkness. The wild magic (and the promise of loot from a fallen civilization) lures experts in dark magic to study there. People living too close for too long become sick and if they settle too close, their descendants develop mutations. The immediate vicinity of the disaster itself is totally uninhabitable. If this sounds familiar, it's because something similar happened with the Doom of Valyria. There as well the place is uninhabitable, and people who live too close become mutated (Mantarys, for example, or people who spend too much time on the Demon Road). So my guess is that some insane magical calamity hit that whole part of the world. Something much much worse than the Doom of Valyria. Probably there's some kind of epicenter to the east of Mossovy. It's either very similar to the same phenomenon near Asshai, or it's actually the northmost portion of a gigantic blasted region that reaches all the way down the continent.

@@theprogram863 maybe similar to the doom of Valyrian it hit the land that once made up the Thousand Islands.

@@hexkobold9814yapping

@@OliverSandys Huh?

I don't think he is that interested in creating short stories about his world that much

The north is russia. Essos is asia + Middle East

@@eumemo4814 ....Russia is in Asia

He’s done a video on every part of the known world already! Go look through his channel!

:D

Ahh Stannis is that you

I hope I'm not being a grammar nazi or ruining your joke, but that's actually the right way of saying it, fewer would be improper grammar.

Bayrem Dridi afraid not. "Less" is used when referring to something that cannot be counted or quantified by a number. "Fewer" is used to indicate an amount of something that can be counted, like the so-called Thousand Islands.

Cool

What? Nothing...

Will do!

Could we get some videos of specific locations (not areas) - like Castle Black, Casterley Rock, Riverrun, The Eyrie etc showing how they're designed in the book vs the show? From what I understand Castle Black is very different in the books!

NANI!

How many books and series could be made from this video. Can go forever

Thanks!

George rr Martin has already made a whole other world, he has no reason to make any additions.

Westeros, according to George R. R. Martin, is supposed to be around the size of South America

I want to see west of westoros

Probably something Horrifying.

From the official worldbook. It's called World of Ice and Fire.

Look it up in ASOIAF Wiki

I always imagined them as being essentially Neanderthals.

Interesting I don't remember anyone ever asking about your goddamn opinion.
