I will never understand your lack of subscribers. The amount of work and attention to detail you always put into every video is astounding.
Thank you!
I'd love to see a similar video of white harbor.
Hard to do. Not much information on it as of yet. Would be a rather lackluster episode I suspect :(
I am a Hudson County born and raised in Jersey City NJ. I work in Bayoone, South of JC. Bayonne is where GRRM was born and raised. This map of Old Town looks a lot like a map of the Hudson River where you have NJ on one side and Manhattan on the other. (2:10 in video) :)
And or the Queensboro bridge in NY
Jesus your videos are so in-depth
So, who are the surviving members of the Hightowers family? Any info on that at all besides the Leyton Hightower and Lynesse Hightower? Thanks.
I was wondering today if the Citadel was part of the High Tower or if they were different buildings so this was perfect timing thank you.I watched a history and lore video today were Tywin was narrating and he mentioned the White Walkers and their Ice spiders and snarks so I'd like to know what a snark is if anyone knows
Citadel is supposedly completely merged with the Hightower in TV show, at least no one is mentioning anything about it's series of buildings through the Oldtown, just the Hightower.
Michael Watson The Citadel is not the same building as the hightower. It's not even on battle isle. The citadel is on an island further north on the honeywine. On the map used in the video, which is no canon source, it would most likely be on one of the two biggest islands on the river. I think it's the biggest one as it's stated in "The World of Ice and Fire" (canon source, companion book to the song of ice and fire, a history book for westeros) that the citadel is on an island north of battle isle and is connected with several bridges to both shores of the honeywine. And in the show the citadel is also a separate building as shown in the newest season of GoT. (spoilerwarning)
There's one shot where you can see the citadel from the front and the hightower is rising up behind it probably a mile away.. Also in the new intro to GoT in the Old Town sequence the hightower and the citadel are shown as two separate buildings. (HT is the big tower that is twisting up with the flame on top and citadel that large building in the northern part of the city with the roof closing and that twisty star sun thingy, the one that can be seen inside the library of the citadel and is the sun of the GoT intro, inside of it!
I always thought of Old Town as the NYC of Westeros
hollin220 no, there's no weed smokers in alleyways in oldtown.
@kwazooplayingguardsman No, just Jaqen H'ghar bribing people with Blackfyre-minted coins only to stab them and assume their identities.. I don't know about you, but I'd take the stoners any day of the week.
hollin220 It is more like Boston, and King's Landing is more like New York.
kwazoo; We call it Dothraki Tabbaky.
Considering the Reach is considered to be France and the fact that the city layout is a rip off of medieval Paris, it's more like... well, Paris.
Yeah, I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more
I'm gonna take my horse to the old town road
I'm gonna ride 'til I can't no more..
The lyrics could easily be about someone in Westros going to Old Town.

@5:29 You got the location of the Citadel wrong again. It isn't located within the Hightower (or on Battle Island) but in it's own separate building elsewhere in the city and with it's own island (Isle of Ravens).
EDIT: You should use The World of Ice and Fire as a source instead of the show lore videos - they're as bad as the show has become.
Citadel is a complex of buildings, and they are located all over Oldtown, (mainly on Isle of Ravens, yes, but not only). Hightower building is used by maesters as well (not all of it, but some parts).
Old Town is based on Paris
