I hear the Dothraki are absolutely SAVAGE in their Yelp reviews. "This city is FILTHY. It should be called CITY OF FILTH! GOTTEM, NERD." -Khal Danko.
Fuzzy Dunlop Hahaha! Nicely done! 😂
brb sailing to thousand islands to get a bald green gf or die trying
with pointy teeth
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!
There needs to be a open world rpg of the world of game of thrones where you could go everywhere in the GOT world.
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.
I want to see Asshai by the shadowlands on the screen that would be amazing. The place sounds so dark and dangerous.
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
There needs to be a spin-off called Demon Hunters of Mossovy.
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?
Daenerys couldve stayed there and built and iron throne of her own made of chains from slaves she freed from masters instead of going to westeros and getting herself killed in the hand of her nephew.
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
I would love it if HBO did a series on Essos where we get to see all these interesting locations/people and maybe even go to Southoryos as well.
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).
The vastness of GRRM’s world can be taken advantage of with spinoff shows that happen in Essos.
Huge potential, really. I just hope they use it in the future.
"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.
Everyone focusing on Westeros when this massive continent with different species and diverse factions exists
Well, I am not sure "exists" is the right word xD
Fire & Blood revealed a new island chain far west of the Summer Islands - even west of Lonely Light's longitude. Three small uninhabited islands, the largest only a third the size of Dragonstone. The seas between them and other lands were filled with terrible storms (and possibly sea monsters), but the isles themselves were pleasant enough - albeit small. Plenty of clean water, edible fruits and nuts (previously unknown), wild pigs to hunt for food. There were some lizards the size of deer with poisonous bites, but they were pretty slow (think Komodo dragons from real life). There's a moratorium on wiki updates for them until December 20th, however. I don't know if you want to do a future short update video on the Farman expedition.
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!
Damnnn,, Jora travelled that far from The North to Essos just to get himself out of friendzone!
It' s just my thought. But the way westerossi ot essosi describe far east continent sounds to me more like they don't know much about that region. Like European people in middle age who said that there are dragons in Asia. I think it is possible that there are more great civilizations over the Asshai but they may just don't know about them thus it became some sort of myth.
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?
the 1000 islands... "There arent a thousand, there arent even 200"
There’s not even 200 there’s not even an island. It’s just a bunch of fat chicks floating in the water
The Ibbenese are much closer to the Neatherthalls. They did have large fore brows, more muscle and much larger noses.
honestly the thousand islands lore is very lovecraftian and i love it
ALL OF THIS LORE!!!! I don't fucking know why anyone hasn't made an open world game of GoT that would be the biggest map on any game. It would sell so bloody well!
i bet if GOT started in essos, they would be talking more about westeros
I'd love a show about all these crazy things in essos. It's so interesting. Shame George isn't really interested in exploring it more. But i would love to see Leviathan and Ice dragons and crazy things. And city's like Yi ti and places like the Shadowlands, 5 fortresses, and the bones.
That's so interesting I hope GRRM do A short stories about these places and the people on in or other people help him with this.
I don't think he is that interested in creating short stories about his world that much
I always thought Mossovy must be their Fantasy version of Russia. With hardened, isolated woodsmen who are also skinchangers/wargs - loosely analogous to the First Men/Starks of Westeros - who fight off demons who enter from the Grey Waste to the east.
The north is russia. Essos is asia + Middle East
@@eumemo4814 ....Russia is in Asia
Personally I'd rather Hbo do a series focusing on northern essos rather then a prequel to the events currently in westeros.
I'm a new subscriber, just found the channel yesterday and binged. I really like the way you do these vids. Short and to the point, no clickbait titles, no "theories" that are really just bad fan fiction, just detail info that we probably missed or forgot. Well done.
I like how the Ibbenese (basically dwarves) and the Children of the Forest/Woodswalkers (basically elves) not only seem to get along for a change from other fantasy, but actually manage to get along despite having never met face to face lol
Essos... it's like George RR Martin was playing a wicked game of D&D and Robert E Howard and H.P. Lovecraft were both DM'ing.
I like how you thank us for watching. But I thank you for making it. Been searching about Esos regions. Didn't find much. Great detailed video.
I'm so happy to see another video. I love these!
thanks for making them! I really enjoy mapmaking and fantasy myths and stories so thank you!
I love those kind of documentary ASOIAF videos
Lol as i written down a comment in your other video just like 20mins ago of you explaining the whole map of GoT. I said u should make a series. Well here u are with this vid. I wouldnt say it is a series as such but its a start. You should make detailed videos on cities around Essos that pose tremendous significance as its quite interesting as a fan of the show and the books too.
You just got yourself a new subscriber. Good work. Keep the vids coming 👍🏼
He’s done a video on every part of the known world already! Go look through his channel!
I really enjoy your videos. Thank you for making them
Just found your channel don't know how I've never be recommend it before, about you binge your entire playlist
I just rewatch all of these because your voice puts me to sleep. Love you goodnight whycreate
Thanks for the videos you post. Helps with writing a game that takes place after the events GOT
I love your GOT vids :) Keep up the great job!
it's always cool hearing about the east it's so dark and mysterious
Excellent videos; appreciate your work.
:D
I love the world of asoiaf
How many books and series could be made from this video. Can go forever
Thank you for re-ignating my love for those books, but I haven't seen you yalking about the Patrimony of Hyrkoon which are one of my favorite civilization of Essos which is pretty sad imo. it would be very cool if you were to consider making a video about them. Thanks again !
this was so damn interesting... brb gonna binge this channel
Your the man, great videos!!!
"Ibbenese mapmakers claim there are less than 300 islands."
Ahem.......*fewer*
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...
Can you please organize all of the map-themed videos on your channel into a Playlist for easy access?
Will do!
@@whycreate Have you read Fire & Blood? (I explain more in another post in this thread)
Binging that playlist right now
@@whycreate plz can u add into this playlist Vid about all Seas
This was awesome 👍🏻
Have you done one about the bone mountains and those 3 cities guarding the paths through? :)
Cool map videos btw :)
You are a legend, man
Watching videos like this makes me want to create my own world & lore just for fun haha, shame I can't write for shit.
Great videos! I've seen many! Raditz and Piccolo!!!
Thanks for the video love ur content:D
Thanks man! Good job 👏
Tyrion after finding out about Ibben: aight bro, imma head out
Lmao🤣
Did you get all this information from 'The World of Ice and Fire'?
Incredible!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this...
Love your videos
Thanks!
This is great - but Vaes Leisi is on the peninsula east of the one you indicated on this map (not that it really matters, it's in ruins)
Great video
This video is cool they should do spin off of these areas it would be cool, plus I like the ice dragons idea sounds like white walker Territory lol
Now that you have finished your exploration of the geography of the Globe of Ice and Fire, what will you do next? Have you done religions? Perhaps you could explore all the different religions of this planet.
Green skin + no hair = Namekian?
Green skin+ no hair = Picollo
Green skin + no hair = damn sexy
@@jbtechcon7434 Damn right. That's what I was thinking too :)
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!
briliant video
i wish they would do it like malazan. sagas happening from one side of the continent to the other, spanning generations of generations. that would be fun
This video does fill in some information. 😂
your voice is relaxing
We know too little in the world of Game of Thrones. Like in Europe back before Columbus or other explorers. I wonder if we'll ever know everything about the world of game of thrones. I hope G.R.R Martin will tell us everything about all the people there
George rr Martin has already made a whole other world, he has no reason to make any additions.
I like these vids, can you make one of the jade sea with also the island of marahai
Since the map series is over, what will follow? Armies, Castles and Cities, Legends, Creatures...? Just a couple of ideas
Can you make a video recapping the first 5 books? Kinda like a prep before Winds of Winter..
I had no idea that the cosairs of Umbar were so capable of seafaring
What is the cursive font you use for the names of the lands on the top of the map?
Details.. I likey
Wow good job once again man, that's alot of info to work with damn. But thanks appreciate it!
That DBZ cut away was perfect!
Westeos is so boring now. I hope HBO would make a spin-off of Essos and the land beyond.
Can you please make a video comparing the size of Westros to Europe or any place on Earth just to have a relative expectation for Westros size.
Westeros, according to George R. R. Martin, is supposed to be around the size of South America
From where have you found about those Ice Dragons in the Shivering Sea.
There is soooo much content HBO needs to get on the fucking ball !!!!!!!
someone should make an RPG game like Skyrim or Witcher based on World of Ice and Fire. imagine the potentials!
I think they got the map upside down. With how it's being described, the island of Ib should be called Ibstraulia.
I really want to see whats to the far east and south of this world. Will probably never happen but I still really wander what's out there...
I want to see west of westoros
Probably something Horrifying.
how did one man create all of this
You asked for it...It's over 9000!!!*smashes scanner*
Is that Skyrims soundtrack un the background?
Has anyone ever thought about the actual globe of this world? I mean if you really look at it North of the wall has to the Northern Pole. and the arctic circle would come down to about the top of Essos. With Westeros being about the size of South America and Sothoryos being as big as it is and being like the Rain Forests this Planet has to be 2 to 3 times bigger than the Earth.
More Radditz in my GRRM, please.
Read the book "The World of Ice and Fire", and you will be much more curious about Essos...
S k y r i m m u s i c
All of these other lands just make westeros seem smaller and smaller- as well as the most mundane.
I would love to read fanfic set in the world of asoiaf depicting going into this places and other places far from where the main books have been able let us see so far
Got my first free house in 4 years! Going to binge this channel until it hurts to blink 👍
I would love to see dothraki vs jogos nhai
Interesting ... When I was reading it I always assumed the Ibbennese were more like eskimos ? Not just Caucasian dwarfs... more ethnic. I just imagined a lot of short folk wearing furs and living in an icy place, weird
I always imagined them as being essentially Neanderthals.
Interesting I don't remember anyone ever asking about your goddamn opinion.
I gotta stop watching these videos I made a whole ass power point of this world
I need one of the got spine off shows to be pretty much one piece where they explore all these place we’ve never seen before
knowing that your a different species is just seeing if your child is a stllborn
Arya is my Kindred soul! 😍😜👻🎥
its funny/cool to imagine if there are continets on the other side of this planet who were like already in the industrial revolution but these guys are over here playing with arrows and swords lol. I wonder if there are more advanced societies, probably something George doesnt care to consider since we would never see that in the story anyway lol.
How many hominid species do you think exists in Planetos?? Two races of giants, children of the forest, humans (more than one? normal people, the green people and the dwarves)... I'm curious if GRRM has a list of the different species...
Look it up in ASOIAF Wiki
Arya the Explorer is sailing to explore west if wessos.
Give me more of this please
For one it has Goblins dwarves Tall black people and very cold northern sea
