    The whole theme with the mystery of the Drowned God, the oily black mysterious Seastone chair, the quote 'What is dead may never die', and many other aspects are sooo suggestive of the Lovecraftian Cthulhu mythos.

  • @sirwholland7
    @sirwholland7 Před rokem +1

    One aspect of the Iron Islands and their culture that is not adequately addressed is where do they secure their resources (wood) for shipbuilding and maintenance after denuding their islands and no longer having the power to raid and hold lands long enough to harvest wood (not a quick or easily defended process) in the GoT timeline.

    • @hannotn
      @hannotn Před rokem +1

      That's what I've always thought was a weakness in the place of the Iron Islands part of the Westeros world. They have a small, dispersed population on deforested islands, with nothing to trade but iron and unspecified other metals of no great value. They have had holdings on the mainland now and then, but since Balon Greyjoy's rebellion they've been penned within their islands. It's just not feasible that they'd have a fleet like the one shown in series 8; the logistics don't add up. They're not the Vikings, despite the obvious similarity. The Vikings made what would have been a long journey to get to European destinations... the Iron Islands are a stone's throw away from the mainland. The Iron Islanders wouldn't have been left free to engage in their plundering indefinitely. Mainland forces would have eventually lost patience and erased them from existence.... their population and their culture would have disappeared completely.

      Well if you walk at a standard pace of 5 kilometers per hour you can travel 120 kilometers in a day. Of course you can't walk nonstop for 24 hours so let's say it's 100 kilometers. Also it says across the island not across it's coast. A perfectly circular island with a diameter of 100 kilometers actually has a surface area of 7854 square kilometers which is quite large.
