All I want is an open world game set in this world, and just explore.
@ObzPotato Yeah, but the awoiaf mod ends just as it gets into Essos, so not a lot to explore there
OKAY
Video game wouldn't do the show justice

You're a fvcking legend
You forgot to mention Euron's Valyrian steel armour, which is probably the one item out of all the others that makes his tale of travelling to Valyria more credible as we've never seen nor heard of such before. Although he could always have got it from somewhere else in the far east.
I think the armor is first mentioned in TWoW sample chapters, so he might have not read them yet.
Let's not forget the blood magic horn that chars the lungs of whomever blows it.
It is not a blood magic horn. It is a drGon horn capable of controlling any dragon that hears it
t a suit of armour would be extremely implausible for anyone that spends there life on a boat
@@darrenhartigan3033 True, although Valyrian steel scaled armour probably weighs less than your average suit of armour. Maybe it has magic properties such as an auto float mechanism when in water haha.
“This may not seem like an interesting topic”
Oh mate you clearly don’t know us 🤣
what's west of Westeros?
My money is on Americos
illiterate thug I think GRRM said the known world so far is about the size of Eurasia
@@f4ptr989 nahh there still the most northern north than the land of always winter
@Golden Eagle i really hope grrm would introduce us the map of the known world the complete map
@@Kj-cn8dm It is the complete map of the known world since GRRM have said himself that this it is what the people of his world have ever seen or have explored.
A complete map of his world would be really nice thou but I hope he completes ASoIaF before writing about a new part of his world.
@@EliasTarakkamaki i just wanted to see whats beyond the land of always winter and the unknown land of ulthos.
I really love these world building videos. I would love to read a book or a show just on some explorer and his travels through out the world that aren't brought up in the main story
A Young Corlys Velaryon prequel would be totally awesome.
Good one Mr Garbage ..

Yeah right you seriously think that rotund lazy bastard will do something like that
“This may not be an interesting topic” Yet this is one I’ve been really wondering about and waiting for, so what does that say about me? 😂
Your videos are getting better and better every time.
Yes, but he needs to stop pronouncing So-tho-RY-os like that :)
@@fenix925 he'll probably burn in hell for it
So, if it takes a year to sail from the step stones to the Jade sea, it would essentially take 6 months from Mureen in Slaver's Bay to King's Landing since it's roughly half way. It's just odd how much leeway the show gives to travelling times of the characters. We're basically just made to accept it and move on, and not dwell on the fact that they could never make it as quickly as it appears.
Danny set waypoints so she could fast travel obviously.
I know this is 2 years later but imma say my piece here, WARNING I am by no means a sailor so I could be wrong, but in these days with travel the difference in speed between travelling open seas and travelling along coasts for long distance journeys changes dramatically, and also with wind speeds a journey that could take 6 months one trop might take 4 months another time and 8 months another, so it's not like planes where it always takes that long, variables in sea travel when you rely on sails are, I imagine, immense. So clarifying how long every journey took and why would either be ridiculously boring and unrealistically repetitive or just like, consume the things happening when they get there in always explaining a unique reason and windspeed etc
Let's just face the facts that George R R Martin may a fantastic lore maker, but his writing is absolutely atrocious same for George Lucas
You see times like these are when I REALLY want more Game of Thrones shows and even games. Imagine seeing or even exploring these lands by yourself!!
Hot D's got you covered.
im sad because i feel like GRRM made this vast world with many things to be talked about but at the speed he writes things we will probably never see anything in these unknown lands and seas.
Similar to Tolkien, he purposely kept these things vague with only a few characters having been there.
That's the juice of it if you known everything about it it would've been not as exiting as it is, he left that for "your" imagination
@@picklechinahboy4437 Yes, I agree but I don't expect to know everything, just a bit more than the little we do have. I would love to know about the emperor of Yi Ti or the things that happen further south etc
I think GRRM has said he added a lot for the sake of the world feeling more interesting and alive but didnt think they would ever be important to the main story or even have the story go there.
For those who don’t know, what’s west of Westeros is Ulthos, Far Eastern Esos, and the gulf of the winged. The lands of always winter is a massive northern continent that joins up Esos and Westeros. In northern Esos there are three forts/cities and a mountain range bordering Esos’ land of always winter, protected by three cities connected by the mountains.
where u got this from? And HOLY
st1er, there’s a guy who basically made a map of all the lands that have been talked about by maesters in the books but not “canonised”/confirmed by GRRM. I’m not sure that it’s properly official but it’s what I always find whenever I search up eastern Esos. You can find the vid on RUclips somewhere.
@@Alfie209 ok, thanks :D gona search for it ^. cause curious xd
Edit: Thx for the fast answer!
I always figure that essos and the far north connect at some point. The long night happened in both places. I think it makes more sense that they originate from the same place rather than being separate events.
That isn't known or confirmed, you oaf. Why do you spout off speculation as if it is fact?
The water I dont have coloured in are just the different
Bays I didnt feel were important enough to talk about
Can you do the types of north house hold soldiers they have or any kingdom and which faction has the best army
is the music from skyrim?
Hey can you make a 1 or 2 video on songs that are sung in GoT with obvious ones like “rains of castemere” and the lesser known ones like “brave danny flint” which have lyrics and stories . I enjoy your contents a lot and not many youtubers made video on songs of ice and fire so you can do it.
Hey WhyCreate, would you ever do videos like this on another series, like Wheel of Time or something?
whycreate are those dragon eggs Drogon Viserion and Rhaegal
You have got to be the most informative, under rated game of thrones RUclipsr out there. The quality of your videos and the amount we learn from each one of your videos is just mind blowing. This is great stuff! Thank you.
“What’s west of Westeros?” Arya’s last word before sailing west.
Essos propably
While all-seeing bran sits right next to her, lol
I hoped she Will marry Gendry and two of them Will be King and Queen, also North will stay part of the realm.
Resteros
they never really developed that very well
The Step Stones guard the only known access from the narrow sea to all the southern oceans, and trade with the whole south of Essos. Why are they left to small bands of pirates, and not conquered by a larger power?
maybe there is too many little island to be controlled if it was something like the strait of gibraltar it would be pretty easy to conquer but not hundreds of small islands
Westeros and the Free Cities have both conquered them before but the other just declares war for them. Its easier to let them be.
When I saw the name of this video, I thought it would be boring, but it was definitely one of your best ones!
Thank you!
Another great video. I wonder if maybe the reason people like Elissa never return is because of how much more interesting or better everything is over there or perhaps their desire to just explore more, if that ship in Asshai is Elissa's then we know that it is possible to explore west and that there was enough islands with life along the way to support travellers. Now we just need some to loop north and south.
Or maybe like Magellan she was killed but some of her crew made it back to Asshai

Krakens and sea dragons fascinate me, I love that kind of lore.
Your work on this channel, the passion you put into it. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you
Just give me an animated series about Arya traveling the world and exploring its mysteries
cool you have me interested
Great videos man. I love how passionate you are about the world of Ice and Fire and all of its details. I'm that way too, which is why I just subscribed. Merry Christmas
Amazing video. Good information, clear voice, was very fun to watch. You got a new sub!
You have the absolute best geographical ASOIAF videos around!
I love all You map and work You put on it. Merry Christmas from Poland!
I do wonder what the ice dragons of the far north in the shivering sea eat to be so much larger since there is almost nothing. Sure a few sea creatures but surely not that many so far north? Great video though. The world of ice and fire does seem a lot like earth, and some of the most popular stories that sound like myth.
Lord Kanai maybe the eat whales or something similar
No, they are said to be made of living ice, completely different to the valyrian dragons, I doubt they even need to eat
Lord Kanai maybe they eat white walkers, and that’s why the White walkers are going south?
Yeah I’m reaching but eh, I like to imagine.
A lot of sea creatures perhaps.
i remember when i first found your channel, i binged every video you had ever put out lol. After the series conclusion (on tv) your videos are the only game of thrones fix i can get!
amazing video man, great stuff
These are the types of videos I feel like most of us want to see. Keep them coming.
1. I love your voice
2. YOU WORK SO HARD! and that deserves more recognition.
SOTH-ORI-OS
It's frequently called Sothoros in the books.
Fascinating as always
Thank you for your work it help me too understand better and as result i became a true fan so thank u.
I recently subscribed. I love the channel. Keep up the great work. Valar Morghulis.

all the videos about the books just make me so hyped for the prequel series.
You deserve way more views and subs for all your work
If they really make a series about the doom of valyria, we will see the world through the eyes of valyrians , and as they were considered the most advanced race in the world, we might see what is east of the shadow lands through their eyes. After all, mapping can become a lot easier if you are flying.
Don't forget they had their glass candles that can be used to see over vast distances and imagine if they had a group of people dedicated to doing that (which I would be surprised if they didn't) I would think they know exactly what the world looks like, maybe not all the finer details but the general outline most likely.
@@damianallen8377 There was that dragon rider who attempted to map sothoryos but was unsuccessful, though I thought the candles were used for communication.
@@twat1466 The candle was used for communication, seeing across vast distances, apparently see visions of the past and future and to people's dreams and influence them. So I figured why wouldn't they be able to use it to map the world or at least as much of the world as the candles allowed them to see. And the 40 ruling families in Valyria was constantly in political squabbles against each other in order to game more power and that. So who is to say one or more of the ruling families or one of the other organizations in the Valyrian Freehold didn't decide to use the glass candles to map the world but kept that knowledge to themselves because they wanted to use it benefit themselves. The Dragonlord in question that tried to map Sothoryos on her own by flying her dragon to the end of it and she did so for a couple of years before returning home. And honestly we have no idea if that's truly what she said since GRRM love the whole unreliable narrator thing not to mention the information about this dragonlord that tried to map Sothoryos came from The Citadel in the first place and quite frankly that alone should make you question that information the same way they claim that there are no children in Asshai when none of them knows that for sure.
i find it hard to believe that as long as valyria existed, they didnt go to westeros or sorythos. why just make colony cities in essos, with all that unspoiled lands and resources? especially if you have dragons. i'd think they would have mapped as much of the world as they could. for all they know, these other lands could be filled with dragon eggs.
one of your best works, kudos, ser...
The more I watch these videos the more I want a series about all these different events you talk about in these videos
New to the channel! Unreal, love the content! Well in!
The only reason I understand what's going on with GOT is your videos explaining the history and theology and lore of this world. Thank you and please continue :-)
Nice work . Good video
Great vid keep it up champ.
Very interesting and informative!
Man… thank you so much bro
I love all your videos
hah even the maesters know the world is round/ or should i say worlds since this is an alternative world
Great videos bro
Badass! str8 Crack for True ASOIF fans
if sunset sea is the pacific the west of it is Philipinnos
More likely to be the Atlantic
I see a new video, I instantly like.
:D
Man does the Oblivion ost brings in Nostalgia!
awesome
The lore and size of these seas and continents are all over the place. The summer sea and jade sea seem more like oceans if it takes a year to get to the Jade Sea from Westeros. It doesn't take a year to cross the Atlantic. GRM really needs to fill out the rest of the world if he's going to say it's a sphere. Right now it seems like this whole planet is a good deal bigger than our own Earth.
It is said to be that long because a ship has to dock for provisions and wait for favorable winds. The powerful Iron Fleet led by Victarion Greyjoy does not take a year to get to Meereen from Pyke.
The world's pirate lords are also based in the Summer Sea, so sailing is extremely dangerous.
Even Asha Greyjoy is tempted to sail to the Jade Sea in the books.
It is about 10% bigger. For what I can sea, there are 3 oceans, the Shivering sea, the Summer Sea and the Sunset Sea
Could you do a video on the white waste? Or on the far far north?
Ok. What do you use to edit/add effects to your videos. Great video btw
I want to know more about Ulthos
I really like the book persona of Euron Greyjoy. The show did really undervalue him. He is so fascinating with all his past adventures and future ambitions
Forgive me if I have made an error here and feel free to correct me if I’m being stupid, but if the crossing from Westeros to essos takes a couple of days then surely the trip to the jade Sea should take less than a year because it looks about 10-20 times larger than the narrow sea
Im guessing either george isnt good with numbers(hes stated multiple times that hes not good with geography and he sometimes makes things too big on accident) or that you cant straight shot it and need to stop a lot and make lots of turns to avoid storms or whatever.
@@amogus1415 yes I didn’t take into account that he wasn’t just exploring the jade sea and would have made a lot of provisional and exploratory stops along the way. Thx for the good response
@@tristanblack5242 no prob,happy to help
Good stuff
The Andals had conquered Westeros. All of Westeros? No! One region still resists.
Yes !
2 regions. North and Dorne are nit Andals. They are The first men and the Dornish
oooo new video!!! Pogers
Sailing from Westeros to the Jade Sea taking around a year makes me quite curious whether this is because of the winds or simply because of the scale of the world, considering it used to take traditional sailing vessels 6 to 15 weeks to sail the real-life Atlantic
It is the winds, ships that do not have banks of oars need to dock in places like Volantis to wait for the right winds. Victarion's Iron Fleet, which has thralls manning the oars and powerful designs made it to Meereen from the Iron Islands in less than a book.
Even though Euron's crew has their tongues cut out, they can still answer questions by, giving a nod for yes and a head shake for no.
I would have thought the sunset sea border with the summer sea would be even with the West coast of westeros. Every thing South of dorne would be the summer sea I thought.
You could be right, this is his interpretation of what we're given, especially since seas never have borders marked out.
The point where one sea becomes the other Is undefined as there are no natural features that mark a border.
I thought it was called the sea because it goes as far as the eye can see 👁😅
If it hasn’t been done, it would be cool if we came together as a community and just made a giant completely detailed map of what we know and speculation of what we dont
It's interesting that there's not much info in the northernmost coast of westeros. Maybe after winds of winter comes out that GRRMartin will write something about it.
What's the song used in your video?
Is it said that the ship homeboy found was the sun chaser? Or he thought it could be?
I was so happy to hear you pronouncing westeros correctly, then in the last minute or two you say wes-tree-os again. You had to do it on purpose to piss me off.
Kidding aside, another great video.
“Daenerys sea”
So that's where Thousand Island salad dressing gets its name...
Welp... guess Arya gonna get eaten by a Kraken.
This makes me want to play the CK2 ASOIAF mod
Essos is west of westeros because it nearly wraps around the planetos. Also Sothoryos most likely goes over the southern pole and upwards into the opposite end of the world and the lands of ever winter do the same going over the northern pole and then going down on the opposite site of the world.
@@Ignisan_66 I can't resist the urge to feed you Mr. troll. They do wrap around the planet but not fully there is still a lot of ocean between the west of westeros and the eastern most part of Essos, the same goes for Ever Winter and Sothoryos.
I always had a problem with Juron's crew having their tongues cut off explained by him not wanting to tell others stuff. Even if they were all illiterate and mute, you can still ask someone a question and they can nod, it's ludacrous. He says ''I needed silence'' so to me, it always seemed way more plausible that he did some tasks that reuired absolute sneak and silence, but he couldn't trust his crew mates to not make noise so he cut off their tongues, and since he's most defs a psychopath that plays along it.
But then again I read total of 0 pages of this book, my persepective might be flawed with only show and videos like these. Still, maybe some of his artefacts require voice commands or shit like that so he cut off their tongues so he can only use it, w/e it be, my point is, people can still communicate without tongues and letters.
Euron's a cruel motherfucker among cruel motherfuckers so it wouldn't surprise me if he did it just for the shits and giggles and wargs into them to make them mind slaves.
11:51 NOW I get it- G.R.R. Martin's story line is a fictionalization of The Enlightenment, The Reformation and the discovery of The New World. By the way, and please forgive my idiocy, but what does AC stand for in the dates? Never mention it in the show.
After Conquest. After Aegon conquered the seven-or rather six kingdoms the Maesters began a calendar from there.
Quaithe just became more interesting go east to head west so the Assahi knew this all this time
Jade Sea is my fav
Up till now im still terrified of what Balerion could have fought
I would take a guess...that west of westeros is most likely the most westerly point of essos or ulthos...like asia is west of united states....well if u r in the west coast region anyway...and east coast of united states goes to europe and africa...which east from those continents they connect w/ asia...so my theory has always been the only thing west of westeros is the other side of essos or ulthos....sothoryos appears to point southward entirely to me....may be wrong...may sail into the western most point of sothoryos...basically i believe it will be the western nost region of 1 or more of the other 3 new continents....possibly a new smaller continent around westeros size....
With house of the Dragon finally out, maybe at some point we can see Corys Valeryon sail to these places?
Does this mean Arya is dead meat? 😅
I want as many spin offs as possible in this strange world
Hey man, I dont have the patience to deal with 99% of youtube channels and videos. I hate that people try to be funny and try to be personalities but it all just ends up sucking and falling flat and/or being abrasive.
Not many people cut thru the bullshit intro that takes 2 and a half minutes to start, you dont have an annoying intro sequence thats trying to be its own tv show, you dont start vids by telling people to like and subscribe and leave a comment blah blah fuckgin blah. you dont rape the camera with your face, shit is constantly happening on screen that is relevant to your video, and you cover topics that are obscure but thoroughly researched.
You are doing this shit right dude. I would put you up there with Alt Shift X and Emergency awesome, the former of which is my absolute go to youtube channel regarding ASOIAF/game of thrones. you are now putting his default status in jeopardy.
You have a great channel, it is perfect for book readers and non book readers alike.
I just wanted to tell you how much i appreciate the work you do, and that youre doing it right. no ego, no buillshit, just cold, hard, merciless facts. youre probably one of my favorites dude, and i just discovered you like 5 or 6 days ago.

Do you know what the realm is? It's the Thousand Islands in the Shivering Sea.
Can you do a video on how continental drift may have occurred in the ASoIaF universe, and how it may be continuing? Even though this is something that we will likely never see in the show or books, nor any none of the characters nor probably none of the humans throughout this worlds' history either.
But what about...
Josh Kirby: Time Warrior?
Jood gob 👍
Ive seen several comments for some reason on euron's mute crew still being able to communicate. And idk why Im explaining this but: Euron doesnt just break people's body, he breaks people's spirits too. Euron actively tortures, abuses, drugs, (and whatever other horrible things he thinks of at the time) people in order to get them to do what he wants. He sexually abused his brother who now sees him as an evil god because in their words "whenever euron was there, he prayed"
Euron wanted a crew that he knew for certain wouldnt betray him despite everything else he does, so he tortured them until they groveled at his feet.
Like, how else do you think he's still alive after being alone with a hundred people who im sure would all love him to be dead. His crew fears him too much. Their tongue being cut out was a part of the process of euron beating secrecy into them.
Shouldn't the Shivering Sea relatively easy to travel considering how straight it is? Why was Corlys Velaryon the first one?
Also you should've used this illustration of Ice Dragon from "Unseen Westeros"

what do you think caused the doom and whats in the ruins that keeps killing people? i'd imagine the targaryans know what happened. why else wouldnt they have went back to get artifacts? aegon could have went back with his 3 dragons and filled them full of valyrian steel items. of course, why didnt they bring someone with them when they moved that knew how to make it?
