The fact that the entire franchise takes place mostly on Westeros when there is an entire continent 3x its size... the possibility of other stories is limitless. Even though it would never happen, I would love to see George write a story about Yi Ti or one of the other eastern parts of Essos. Could even CGI some Wyrms or Wyverns since Dragons are not the only "mythical" creatures in the GOT universe.
I'm sure George could pull it off, but from this video Yi Ti sounds like one of the most boring places in the world. It is literally just medieval China.
I love the copious inspiration George RR Martin took from real world prehistory and history and how he remixed it to create a world that feels familiar but magical. It hits the escapism sweet spot for me.
Makes you respect how much ground Daenerys has covered from the east of Essos to the west of Westeros, while still going to the north and south of these regions as well. All that travel and recruiting, impressive indeed of her! 😮
Sothoryos is literally so big its size is unknown except the coast. But this is all in consideration that Westeros and essos are just the northern hemisphere
you forgot to mention that the children of the forest also tried to destroy the neck (the south part of the north ) but their magic was weakend and the spell caused the region to become a swamp
he takes everything from history, GRRM is huge history buff and it's easy when even looking at just the geography to see that he is remodling the old world into a fantasy one for his own enjoyment. He's got a lot of source material he picks from.
7:19 Aegon’s conquest actually started in 2 BC, not 1 AC. The calendar starts after Aegon’s conquest ended, when he was officially crowned at the Starry Sept in Oldtown, two years after the conquest began
Me too, a tragedy insomuch as it's a lead up to The Doom. We know its coming and there is no stopping it, could be some interesting story there to tell.
The seven kingdoms are: The North, The Vale, The Reach, The Stormlands, The Westerlands, Dorne and the Kingdom of Isles and Rivers. Which is currently split in two and ruled separately as the Iron islands and the Riverlands.
It's interesting how in Lord of the Rings magic is disappearing from the world while in Game of Thrones, magic comes back into the world after long being forgotten by the people. I'm personally invested in Bran's story more than anyone else cause it gets into the magic aspects more.
Dragonstone wasn't founded by House Targaryen. It was one of many valyrian fortress. it just happen to be on westero and was safe from the effects of the doom and the power vacuum that was left behind when the rest of the valyrian houses die.
@@teacherhomieg Velaryons ruled the Driftmark, not the Dragonstone. But they are neighbors to one another, and before the Targaryens came to Westeros - the Velaryons are the first from Essos to take refuge there. Though, unlike Targaryens who were minor Dragonlord, House Velaryon originate as commoner there. They're more similar to Celtigars.
you forgot about the neandrathals / dwarves of the north of essos, and the entirety of the continent of southeros (aswell as the mysterious lands further to the west)
The Riverlands is not considered one of the Seven Kingdoms. The Iron Islands is the seventh, as the Riverlands was under its control when Aegon landed.
yea its probable that the five forts in Yi Ti were built to defend from them similarly to the wall in westeros but it doesnt really make sense if white walkers were created by children of the forest unless they lived out there at one point in time
Yiti has it's own massive foritifcation protecting it's northern border called the five forts and there is talk of "demons" who follow the lion of night. We know that the last long night was a worldwide event because of other last hero myths told all over essos and westeros.
i know southeroys is not fully explored but its tip is still visible on the full map and so is the summer isles naarth and the rest of the small island they all have their own people and cultures
Yeah but in the case of Sothoryos at least its presence is somewhat inconsequential other than as cryptic background references and a specific in-universe historical anecdote of a failed attempt at exploring it. So not surprised it was omitted.
I discovered your channel with this video 🤩, it would be interesting to create a "format" with explanations of world maps from different fictional universes.
I thought we didn’t know where the top of Essos ended. Weren’t there speculation that it connected to The Lands of Always Winter? There are stories very similar to the White Walkers happening in Essos a very long time ago
10/10 video. could u do a video just like this, from say, 5000 BC until idk, 1453 fall of constantinople of discovery of america (end of middle ages) ?? that'd be pretty cool
I love how it seems everything just takes much longer to advance compared to our own history. Like established civilizations over 10,000 years old and older but stuck in the middle age close to 5,000 years
We need some series focusing the different areas of Essos. Also would be cool of a series set after the main events of the original show where they try to track down Drogon, bring the dragons back and exploring old Valeria.
No it is realistic. It is all down to the geography of seas and rivers. Language stayed stable because the peoples could easily move and were not hemmed in by geography. The reason why European splintered is due to the fact it is several independent regions separated by geography. The romans are an example of a powerful culture that could not break out of the Mediterranean Sea region.
Essos seems huge but you wouldn't think it seeing as how Daenerys seems to always be in one part of the continent one day and then she's on the other by the next week even without her dragons.
Wow how much creativity and deep thinking is neended for building a whole new world in your thoughts. Writers like martin, Tolkien & Rowling are just incredible It makes me sad that currently there is huge lack of creativity in india. I just wish there was good literature and fantasy compared to this although historically india had a very interesting literary culture but now most of the writers and filmmakers are clown who just imitate and copy others work and have no originality
Very cool, wish they do a show based on the cities and how it all comes together but not base it on any one family but more the period and how it all came together. Thank you that was extremely interesting 😎🫤
It has been brought up a lot already by people but I'm fascinated by how GRRM incorporated and drew inspiration from the real life migrations into Britain into the story. Not everything matches 1:1 but the First Men are the initial Celtic migrations into Britain from continental Europe. The Andals draw a parallel to the Germanic migrations of the Anglos, Saxxons, and Jutes who brought English into Britain and pushed the Celts into corners. Targaryens draw inspirations from multiple sources but Aegon's Conquest = Norman's Conquest and their relationships to the rest of the population seems similar to that of the French aristocrats to the rest of Britain. But some have also commented on the fact that some parts seem to have taken inspiration from the Roman Empire and other dynasties. The rest of the world are very clearly inspired from real geography (free cities = city states of Italy, eastern parts of Essos = China, Dothraki = Mongols etc.) but I find the British migrations part fascinating since it plays into the story more. Would've been cool if the North spoke an entirely different language (like any of the Celtic languages) but I think the heavy, thick Northern accent does justice in its place.
There is also Sothoryos, a giant rainforest area said to be a land with no end, home to purple eyed lemurs called “little Valyrians”, giant King Kong like apes, Velociraptors, Wyverns (Smaller but fiercer and less fire breathing relatives of Dragons), The Summer Isles a chain of isles next to Sothoryos and Ulthos… nothing interesting to say about Ulthos
Woah I didn't realized how big is the worldbuilding of this world. I thought Westeros was the only map it has. I hope we can explore those other locations in future Game of Thrones spin-off series.
seems To me that places like Yi ti represent real life countries like China, Mongolia, the middle east represented by valyria, pentos, astapor, yunkai etc
The drama in Esos is 1000x more interesting than westeros. More cultures, more cities, more creatures, more magic etc... Pls make a spinoff stories mainly on essos
There are theories that myths of this world are like myths in real world, they're not telling exactly what happened and the real reason why Arm of Dorne was broken was a natural disaster, that demolished a lot of places in the world. There's a reason why Pyke is as it is, why Neck is a very tight pass etc
"but the city had a dark side ..." I watched Game of Thrones ... all 8 seasons / 73 episodes of it, and i could not spot a city that did not have an dark side. Infact all of it was dark. Cities, villages, towns, people, animals, dragons, giants, you name it. Was there even a "bright" city in the series?
Small correction at 8:06 , the Riverlands aren’t a kingdom, the Iron Islands are a kingdom. The seven kingdoms are the North, the Vale, the Iron Islands, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, the Reach, and Dorne. The Riverlands are their own region, but when Aegon conquered them, their king was the king of the Iron Islands.
So basically G.R.R. recreated the world map, with Westeros being North and South Americas - the "New World" where everyone migrated to, the Free Cities - various European countries, Valyria - Italy (fallen Roman Empire), and even the Asian steppes with Mongols (Jogos Nhai), China (Yunkai) and Japan (secretive Ashai) are where they should be.
I believe he enlarged Britain to become Westeros and moved it from the north to where America is, but no Americans are actually present. North Wall is actually a Hadrian wall, with Scots being free folk and the War of Roses being the Hightower vs Targaryen fight (house of dragon storyline). Eurasia has being traslated to Essos condenced with mongol, China everything else + some of the mediterranean.
Yeah to me the lap looks like westeros is great Britain, the wall being exactly where Hadrian's wall lies today, essos is what Europe looks like minus Scandinavia and the Iberian peninsula
Doubt it. The wall is inspired by Hadrians Wall in the British Isles. The Celtics where considered "wild barbarians" by the Romans. The British Isles were also multiple kingdoms that were eventually united into one.
There’s a story about the beginning of the first Long Night. It was a prince or a king form the East side of Essos, they fought some kind of creatures from the north east in a place in the map called The Five Forts. Look it up, it’s pretty cool.
In the series it is mentioned by the three eyed raven under the tree that the children of the forest created the white walkers during the war. Did not see that mentioned. Seems pretty important.
They were doing pretty well before they started running out of book material and it was obvious that despite their conversations with George, they had no real grasp on where the story was ultimately heading.
whitewalkers were created by childer of the forrest to use the numbers of men against them, but they lost control of them and after that men and childer of the forest made peace to defeat whitewalkers - just to correct / fill in what you had in your vid.

by watching the series, I never realized that Essos is multiple times the size of Westeros
Like asia
It isn’t. Westeros is also big. Dorne to the wall is like Pentos to Asshai.
I think if GRRM was not as lazy as he is at the moment, he could write at least two more GoT for the Eastern Continent.
@@MbisonBalrogno it’s much more
Even with the lands of always winter?

I'm sure George could pull it off, but from this video Yi Ti sounds like one of the most boring places in the world. It is literally just medieval China.
@@skittlez10035 George appears addicted to money. GOT has made him that money. We are never going back.
@@jarrah580China had a lot of cool stuff happen plus a wall to keep out white walkers too lol.
It's actually embedded deep in the narrative that all this started in far east
I love the copious inspiration George RR Martin took from real world prehistory and history and how he remixed it to create a world that feels familiar but magical. It hits the escapism sweet spot for me.
I believe he said something to the effect of:
“Good fantasy is just history with a little bit of magic”
Makes you respect how much ground Daenerys has covered from the east of Essos to the west of Westeros, while still going to the north and south of these regions as well. All that travel and recruiting, impressive indeed of her! 😮
You cant imagine how stupid it look from logistic.
people are surprised by the size of Essos... wait to hear about Sothoryos
When people find out the Summer Isles are actually a lot more important than they seem
Sothoryos is literally so big its size is unknown except the coast. But this is all in consideration that Westeros and essos are just the northern hemisphere
It's full of Dinosaurs so ehh
@@kylezdancewicz7346 Westeros and Essos are to me the size of Britain and Turkey. Sothoryos is more like the size of Africa.
Wait until they discover Northorios.
You just explained thousands and thousands of pages in one video. 100/100! That was awesome.
you forgot to mention that the children of the forest also tried to destroy the neck (the south part of the north ) but their magic was weakend and the spell caused the region to become a swamp
Woah thats cool 😮 in which of the books is that info from?
this sounds like something a maester guessed

Like a good audiobook this is beautiful to fall asleep to
Westeros is a big continent, but most of it is North of the wall.
I want to see a show about the old Valerya.
Sounds like an accountant’s nightmare
Me too, a tragedy insomuch as it's a lead up to The Doom. We know its coming and there is no stopping it, could be some interesting story there to tell.
Yi Ti, Asshai and everything around it sound interesting
I wish I saw this before starting with the books. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
george doing everything else than completing the series
Well he's not obliged to finish the series, writing takes long and he's quite old now, if i was his age I'd chill and watch tv too instead of working
Soon, AI will be surely advanced enough to bring the series to an end even better than grrm could

also, George obviously designed the coasts of westeros and essos to look like puzzle pieces, so they were once one continent but drifted apart
I haven’t noticed that
you forgot about the neandrathals / dwarves of the north of essos, and the entirety of the continent of southeros (aswell as the mysterious lands further to the west)
There's also a continent called ulthos.
And the Rhoynars (origin of the Dornish/Martells) too
I want to see a show about Old Valyria & then the doom
Very informational! Funny how I just got curious about the map of Westeros and here you are just having made a video about it.
Cool video. The Andal invasions are clearly inspired by the Viking invasions of Britain.
The Riverlands is not considered one of the Seven Kingdoms. The Iron Islands is the seventh, as the Riverlands was under its control when Aegon landed.
Dorne is the 7th kingdom not to yield to aegon you’re wrong
Tx , your explanation is very clear 👌
Aren't there rumours of white walker type beings in the extreme east of Essos
Yes
yea its probable that the five forts in Yi Ti were built to defend from them similarly to the wall in westeros but it doesnt really make sense if white walkers were created by children of the forest unless they lived out there at one point in time

there are demons and shrykes and very strange men in the far east, though no one has actually seen one in the narrative
Yeah there is some kind of story about that. The 5 forts apparently serve the same purpose as the wall in westeros

what is completely unrealistic is that houses remain essentially the same for thousands of years.

There's a lot more than that. The map showm in this video still isn’t even half of the world.
Now to Ulthos and Sothoryos please!
And on the seventh day, G-- I mean, GRRM, rested.
seems To me that places like Yi ti represent real life countries like China, Mongolia, the middle east represented by valyria, pentos, astapor, yunkai etc
Aegon could've easily conquered Essos too, once Westeros was stabilized and it's armies united.
Westroes is like Europe and esses is like Asia 🌏 Asia is big and have many cultures and westens are thieves and and fight with each other
Where is all this lore at? In the got books or separate fan fiction or did GRRM write separate books outside the ASOIF novels? Would love to know.
The drama in Esos is 1000x more interesting than westeros. More cultures, more cities, more creatures, more magic etc... Pls make a spinoff stories mainly on essos
And there's still Sothoryos. Which is largely unexplored.

Ever notice how Southern Westeros is basically Ireland turned upside down?
So basically G.R.R. recreated the world map, with Westeros being North and South Americas - the "New World" where everyone migrated to, the Free Cities - various European countries, Valyria - Italy (fallen Roman Empire), and even the Asian steppes with Mongols (Jogos Nhai), China (Yunkai) and Japan (secretive Ashai) are where they should be.

@@wunsen2483 yup, I haven't read the books, but it does look like that. I think the Celts came from Spain which is where Kent/Dorn connects to?

The children of the forest created the white walkers? Or is that not confirmed?
Not confirmed, there is also no Night King
There’s a story about the beginning of the first Long Night. It was a prince or a king form the East side of Essos, they fought some kind of creatures from the north east in a place in the map called The Five Forts. Look it up, it’s pretty cool.
