The Long Night happened everywhere. considering all stories from all over the world have the same description. a night that lasted practically forever and it was cold as hell with monsters
What if westeros got the white walkers as it is connected to the lands of always winter but essos got weird strange creatures from the shadow lands as virtually nothing is known about the shadow lands. And when the sorcerer who caused the long night performed the spell maybe it was a signal for all creatures of the dark to come forth.
@@camerongooch9606 but the five forts dont protect Yi Ti from the Shadow Lands
@@johkupohkuxd1697 that maybe true but it did from "demons" and is now used to protect Yi-Ti from things from the Grey waste. This sounds like the wall and all the castles now in disrepair along the wall, the forts have lost their original purpose which could be to hold of " demons" from the shadow lands and Grey waste.
Thats the main reason that makes me believe that essos is connected to the white waste in the north,withc connects with the lands of always winter and westeros
I don't even trust the maps.
Maybe the world is round and the far east end of Essos is just the Land of always winter.
Is it just me or does anyone else not want to see anymore Westeros in the Game of Thrones prequel series? Personally I would much rather see unexplored areas of the world like Yi-Ti, the Summer Isles, Sothoryos, or Asshai.
Yes!!! A Yi Ti prequel all about the first Long Night would be so friggin cool.
In the case of the works of George R.R. Martin, less is more. He has said in interviews that he doesn't want to delve further into all the mysterious places of his magical world. He wants them to remain mysterious for us readers and show watchers to wonder about. The lesser we know about these places, the more we wonder and fantasize about what it's like there.
@@truenordic788 i understand that with the Shadowlands, the Basilisk Isles, Sothorys, but with Yi Ti he's already given us an entire history about. Theres not much thats a mystery about it. Its just feudal Japan.
Astro Wiz or Aegon s conquest
@@astrowiz3544 Or perhaps the land that feudal Japan was based on originally: Feudal China.
The Long Night is actually like the Flood Myth in our understanding in reality. Flood Myths have different stories in different culture, but i think flood Myths is based on real events that happened 10 to 20 thousand years ago.
@@atharvvir I am a Hindu, and what u said is incorrect. Homosexuality is very clearly banned in the Dharmasastras, especially the Manusmriti and Vishnusmriti. The theological basis for this lies in the Bhagavad Gita, among other texts, which states that the purpose of s3x is for procreation, not baser pleasure. Any examples of non-straight behavior in the Hindu mythos are portrayed in a bad light contextually speaking, usually in the form of the result of a curse, etc.
user 01 comparatively to other religions, sanatan dharma is at least more flexible when it comes to sexuality.
The manusmriti might have some minor fines, but nothing serious like stoning to death prescribed by other texts in other religions. Moreover, many sculptures in ancient temples show homosexual acts. And the Shruti and smriti are pretty vague on the topic, and don’t explicitly say it’s outright a ‘sin’. Also, the kamasutra, clearly mentions ‘tritya prakriti’ or third nature, which is basically today’s term ‘LGBT’
But the Kamasutra mentions it as a *nature* not an *abomination*
Lord Krishna says in the bhagvat Geeta: I am equal to all living beings; no one is hated by me and no one is beloved.
Moreover, Hinduism allows people to have materialistic attachments if they want, whilst those who don’t can see the bigger picture and understand the universe better and aim for moksha. They don’t need to have sex as they have transgressed material desires, such as pleasure. But people who are homosexual or straight, but enjoy sex, still have a materialistic attachment to pleasure or kam, which is okay, but until they don’t realise materialistic things have no significance in the bigger picture, they won’t attain Mukti. And Hinduism states sex should also be taken for pleasure, not only family duties
“Indian mythology is a wonderful way to introduce gender into conversations at home. Tell your child stories of these characters, known for their gender fluidity..”
While the reproductive connection between man and woman has always been honoured, homosexuality and LGBT themes have been documented through ancient literature and folk tales, art and performing arts alike. Essentially because gender is often seen as an idea, a belief, a conviction, the sweep and scale of which can be seen through the diverse characters, each extraordinary and unusual, even though all this doesn’t matter in again, the bigger picture.
Many Hindus believe that sensual pleasure is one of the four legitimate goals to be sought in life. Kama includes sexual pleasure and sex is considered a good thing to be enjoyed, but within certain boundaries. Self-control is an important aspect of Hindu teachings, for example not to have thoughts of lust at specific times when not appropriate, at not to people like let’s say your mother, brother, sister, uncle etc. (OBVIOUSLY)
But sex *can be taken for pleasure, not only for family continuation*
The Crunch everything u said contradicts scripture. Yes, there is no death penalty for homosexuality, but it is still an offense. Furthermore, the Kama sutra isn’t a holy text, it’s simple a obscene work written by a man born into a house of ganikas, or courtesans. And if u think sex for the purpose of pleasure is allowed within Hinduism, u clearly haven’t read the Gita. Lastly, regarding the khajuraho sculptures, were not even really sure if the complex was even a religious place, and it very well could have been the result of some king’s horny fantasies. Please refrain from spreading falsehoods about Sanatan Dharma on CZcams

@Sir Knight Errant exactly there’s a reason why it was frowned upon for majority of humanity’s history
Like how those flood stories are from the end of the ice age, areas like Tasmania’s bridge and many kilometres into the coast along much of Australia were all swallowed up, and the same happened world wide.
Also what the hell is this comment section, all you religious individuals arguing over which one had better magical gods/god.
Homosexuality is fine who gives a fuck, if anything it slightly helps with overpopulation, but being accepting of gays in a religion doesn’t make your religion much better, you still all cause conflict and death throughout the ages, abandon all gods and any religious beliefs, focus on this world’s past, present and future, you can discover who’s right when you’re dead (unless there is no afterlife in which case you won’t discover anything, but simply cease to exist)
Leng? Old Ones? Carcosa? Sounds like RR Martin is paying tributes to Lovecraft.
Yep he is
Not subtle either lol carcosa yellow king 😉
well he wanted to fill in the map of his world and decided to make the tributes to lovecraft
Aslo there is ancient city of demon worshipers in Gray Waste - K'Dath (aka lovecraftian Kadath).
And also Deep Ones, and Toad stone and Blac Goat :D And City of the Winged Man is a tribute to Robert E. Howard similarly Stygai which is an anagram of Stygia one of the countries in Howard's Hyperborean world, that particular one was very ancient and well known for its connections with dark magic and necromancy.
Yi Ti is whole again... then it broke again.
I understood that reference
Sounds like Ancient China

An oily black stone, found all over the world, whose origins are unknown...
In Essos, groves of black Shade-of-the-Evening trees noted for their black wood and strange, oily sap, sap which seems to be a direct counterpart to the weirwoods' own blood-like paste. The same weirwoods whose white wood is noted for turning into a pale stone after a few thousand years and which never, ever rots....
Indeed, there does seem to be some sort of parallel connection between the two tree types. Drinking the Shade-of-the-Evening gives visions of the Future, while eating the Weirwood paste lets the greenseers look into the Past.
@@dromankass8655 Only if you add enough Jojen to the Weirwood paste. ^^
The five forts are made out of fused black stone not oily black stone
@@Gamerteamguy So? Lots of other things in ASOIAF are made with oily black stone. It seems pretty commonplace. Fused black stone (melted basalt) is only noted in a few locations and is always associated with dragon fire. I'm just speculating that the oily black stones are actually petrified Shade-of-the-Evening wood.
@@berserkasaurusrex4233 I know I’m just saying the five forts aren’t and that’s pretty crucial as it means it’s not connected to the drowned gods and the deep ones (and the Squishers maybe??)
Yiti is Chinese empire in games of thrones..this would make another great spinoff..series..
im so excited about tat too
Dude that would be awesome, like that Marco Polo netflix series but with an HBO budget and actual magic.
hows the gravity there?
LessCommonKnowledge Do that with Corlys Velaryon “The Sea Snake.”
Yiti cant be chinese empire becuz he stated in the beginning of the video that its the FIRST place that civilization existed in and we all know from history that first civ wasn't in china.. u could say yiti is Babylon or Mesopotamia or even the sumarians
At first it yi-ti sounds like ancient Mesopotamia at first and then develops into fuedial china.
How so? Sounds like Xia dynasty.
@@sangbum60090 Isn't Xia Dynasty supposedly mythical even during the Spring and Autumn period texts? or am I remembering it horribly wrong?
@@syedshakaibanwar2698 yes likely
@@syedshakaibanwar2698 It is cleared that some kinds of society system did exist back in the time period, since they have found bronze artifacts from those time, and evidence of human/animal sacrifices are found, there are even saying that indicate the idea of "Mandate of Heaven" is developed during this time. However, due to the lack of written text (oracle bone doesn't exist during the age of Xia, the founding of supposed written text remain debatable since they are closer to simple signs), there is no direct proof of historical record during the time.
Another more indirect indication of the existence of this period is the great flood, which is recorded in many different cultures across the earth. The founder of Xia, Emperor Yu is said to be the one that cured the flood by constructing massive engineering project that is aided by gods. Many of the description are 100% myth, though the existence of the a unified society can be confirmed, it is just unclear whether it could be considered as a Chinese imperial "Dynasty", since it is still in a primitive stage.
Couldn't those artifacts simply belong to old Chinese residents instead of being a part of a sort of kingdom.
The Bone Mountains represents the Himalayas, the Five Forts are like the Great Wall of China, Yiti represents China and the little peninsula near Leng Island represents Korea. The Plains of Jogos Nhai represents the nomadic, horse-riding people in the plains of Mongolia (who in history repeatedly attacked China and established the Yuan dynasty) and Leng Island represents Japan and the modern Leng Islanders come from Yitish descent (just like the Japanese from Chinese) and the Southern Leng islanders who are considered natives of the island are like the Ainu people of Hokkaido, Japan. *I see what you did there, GRRM.*
Leng is Taiwan.
Westeros is europe, essos and uthos are mixed of africa, middle east, and east and south Asia. Southorios is southeast Asia and oceania. Shadow land symbolizes the unknown world or the undiscovered knowledge in george r.r martin's head. Meanwhile, the west of westeros must be also another undiscovered continent just like America.
Reven Augustian Westeros is more the British Isles, Andalos would probably be the closest to Western Europe, France, while the rest slowly turns into Asia Minor or the steppe
Wait isn't dorn the middle East?
@@magnuscoles5010 Dorne is Spain
You're missing my big fat Australia somewhere way off
mj Australia is sororythos since both are full of creatures that can kill you
Yi Ti is like China, Leng is Japan and Moraq India?
they do worship a iron bull on Moraq like how cows are sacred in India
That makes sense, though the shadow lands look alot like india
@R K But they're clearly inspired by real world places the same way Stark vs Lannister was inspired by York vs Lancaster (War of the Roses)
@R K I hear what your saying, but the author GRRM has incorporated large parts of his fantasy world based on actual historic and geographic events in the real world. He is a huge history buff, and much of the kingdoms, lands, family rivalries, wars, politics, lore etc are influenced by our own history, myths, creatures , and legends. That's part of what makes ASOIF so captivating, because even though it's this fictional world, the events, and characters are very heavily influenced by our own earths history. The original commenter IMO was correct in correlating similarities in Yi-Ti with that of ancient China. Even Southyros, the huge land mass unexplored and vaguely mentioned in the saga is based on our own continent of South America, covered in jungles and floral overgrowth which have swallowed up any remnants of past civilizations that have inhabited the region.
@@realeyesrealisereallies8607 I thought Sothoryos was Africa?
People from Yi Ti will be in "Empire of Ash", the Doom of Valyria prequel TV series. We MIGHT actually see Yi Ti itself in it - not as a recurring location, but maybe as like a cameo in a later season or something. OR, more probably, in a flashback - they said there would be flashbacks. So maybe a later season could have one of the characters FROM Yi Ti remembering it in a flashback scene.
Sorry but where are the proofs for those
We have actually already seen a person from yiti in the original series, a priest of the fire Lord in volantis who spoke about Daenerys
@@billbill997 It was the one with the sideways vagina.
@@billbill997 I think Nymeria Sand is also half YiTish
I personally think the Long Night was all things, creatures etc that are evil and dark, not just the Others. The Others just happen to be the dark creatures of Westeros that lived far up north.
The Others do not bring the Long Night, they are just one of the Long Night’s many evil beings
Yi Ti has broke again.
Yi Ti is whole again.
bill wurtz should definitely do a history of planetos
@@gogainyohood8431 planetos💀
I wonder if they had “Milk of the Poppy wars” in this universe.
Would be a few centuries in the coming yet😄
@@andersbjrnsen7203 In thr ASOIAF universe technological progress is practically non existent… that world would stay in the feudal era for all of eternity
@@BuRsTiNxMLB I think the only progress ever mentioned is the transistor from bronze to steel(imported with an invading culture) and the invention of wildfire. Medieval Stasis indeed!
Oh... Milk of the poppy wars is very similar to...
just dropping this comment to say yours and altshift x's game of thrones content is mmy favourite, and I think the best out there. keep up the good work my dude!
I am in your channel now😊
:)
You should check out "quinn's ideas of ice and fire", and "in deep geek", both channels have great content about the song of ice and fire
It's my not mmy
@@RandomVidsforthought oh no, i made a typo on a four year old comment, however will you manage?
Leng was mentioned by H.P. Lovecraft aswell
Will check that out
You're in for a treat! The Lovecraft call outs in the saga are a delight.
Did you hear him mention the "Old Ones"? Georgie Boy definintely added a lil seasoning from the spice rack of Lovecraft.
Sarnath, Ib etc
The city of Carcosa, with a "King in Yellow", also has some connection to the whole Lovecraft/Cthulu mythos, although it's more of a thing he borrowed from previous writers and incorporated into his own.
the reach of the god emperor of mankind is far indeed. praise be to him.
the emperor protects.
Old Ones, Ancient Black Stone fortresses said for fighting demons? Well I’ll be darned.
How about The Wall? History of how it was built and an in depth look at all the castles? There are as many stories about The Wall, The Night's Watch, and their castles as The Iron Islands, for sure! Great work! I'm loving your vids!
You're vids clear things up so well
What a fine video to wake up to! Congrats on 50k subs, U deserve much much more.
Love your work keep this up!
I can’t stop watching these videos. Haven’t read the whole series but I’m listening to the books here on CZcams. I don’t have time to read with my small kiddos.
I just found your channel and its awsome but could you make playlists of your video groups like these map deep dives? I love the lore of fantasy worlds and after learning a lot about essos my mind is just blown and with there still being 2 other continents its a full sensory overload for me rn 😂
Great video on Yi Ti. Gives a lot of information other Yi Ti videos don't.
Keep up this great content and congrats on 50k
Thanks!
Seriously your videos are awesome I just had to become a subscriber today.
I always wondered why the Lion of Night is depicted wearing a toga when Yi Ti is the equivalent to China during what I can assume is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms period.
Well, it's how people in the west depict the Lion of Night in their artwork....based on fuzzy, inaccurate reports they have about Yi Ti. Like how people and things from China were drawn in medieval European manuscripts - inaccurate, and in the local art style. So "unreliable narrator" - the real Yi Ti probably doesn't look like this.
As the previous comment has elaborated, it is possible that got exagerated through word of mouth and inaccurately depicted by foreigners. If anything the Lion of the Night should more closely resemble the Chinese guardian lions commonly found in pagodas. Eg: i0.wp.com/www.aptass.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/20090628181419__mg_07361-1365x910.jpg
I kinda get that romance of the three kingdoms vibe as well. Maybe there's a bit of warring states period influence, considering the number of individuals claiming to be God Emperors.
I think the artist might be influenced by that Greco-Roman statue of a dog-headed Hermes dressed in a toga. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermanubis
@wthNOname GoT is set in the West but that doesn't preclude the existence of an entire world.
lol the yellow god-emperor in Carcosa. love the Chalmers reference and possible true detective crossover
A very nicely produced video!
hey man i love your videos keep making great GOT content, keep us all busy while we wait for the books and show to get finished, would love to hear video aboutbhouse dayne
Wow! You’ve uploaded twice in like 4 days well done 👍🏼
I hope George gives us more information about Yi Ti, Sothoryos, and The Shadow in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring; you can’t just create these vast, mysterious, end exotic locations within your own eon spanning history and only have them referenced in a single companion book and not in the main series. Even if the main character’s never see them in person I believe that Martin intends to at least have them referenced more directly in the coming books.
It would be cool to see Danny visit yi ti
@@nicholash1691She's not just gonna take a break from her conquest 😂
@@alexhansen7309 sheeeit ya never know what could happen
thank you for your work please keep it up
I like how Martin tipped his hat with Carcosa and their yellow god. And the old ones that cause insanity to the west, the whole region is a big homage to those forbidden knowledge horror stories of Chambers, Lovecraft, Karl Edward Wagner and several others.
I think that Yi Ti lore contains clues about SoIaF endgame and on the origins of many aspects of its lore. IMO ruling caste of the Great Empire of the Dawn were people whom we can call "Protovalyrians". Their empire fell because of the deeds of Bloodstone emperor who maybe wanted to become a god like first emperor. Think he used to that end blood magic whith which he brough a Long Night... and the dragons. Dragon hatching involves sacrifice. Long night destroyed the empire, Protovalyrians scatered.
Think it is plausible that blood magic in Westeros brought White Walkers while in the east, the dragons (ice and fire). Also I think that due to Bloodstone emperor blood magic, his "curse" or something like that was brought on Valyrians thanks to which they are able to control dragons. Their nation fell to obscurity but regained greatness after rediscovery of that "ability"
The clue about "Protovalyrians" comes from house Dayne, they have Valyrian features but Martin explicitly stated that they have no Valyrian descent and didn't intermarry with Targs. So maybe they sprung directly from Great Empire of the Dawn? Their sword forged from fallen star is also suspicious. Think it has something to do with black stone or maybe even original Lightbringer....
interesting.....
So basically every ancient civilization was superior fair haired, fair eyed and fair skinned people ruling over inferior colored people? Hmmmmmmm.....why does this sound like some 19th century racialism?
@@sangbum60090 because you are thinking of that
@Globglogabgolab haha le clown world right epic redpill bro XDD
@@sangbum60090
Because you cannot think of anything else
it's funny and interesting how the world of game of thrones is so diverse some places like yi ti feel like another planet
like the civilizations are so separated just like the old days before discovering new continents
I was hyped when I heard you were gonna cover YiTi, is this all there is to that place?
Very interesting and informative!
I love you whycreate
1:43 that picture is from game Age of Emaires 3 Asin.... You bring me back memorise with that picture
I know right🤣😂
I’d like a yi ti vs valaryia dragons vs giants apes and basilisks and magic, also the old ones sound like they could be cousins or related to children of the forest in some way.
I wish GRRM would write a series about Yi Ti after finishing ASOIAF. It’s such an interesting place
I’m so fascinated by the greasy black stone. But I know that an explanation would destroy the mystique that makes it so fascinating. Kind of a catch-22.
Can you do the summer isles next please also great video
The story of the Civilization of the dawn reminds me of some stories of Atlantis, the long night being the parallel of the destruction of Atlantis, believed to be brought on by people beginning to use black magic
Honestly it would so cool if the people of yi ti managed to tame dragons like the valerians and that their dragons looked more Asian inspired that would be awesome
Na not really
That was awesome! Can't wait for the sothoryos video!
The shadow men who would invade is something I had missed. That's something to think about, where they from Ashai? The people who are talked about there are few so don't sound like someone capable of invading. So who are the Shadow Men? We may never know is a very likely answer.
They are saveges from the shadow lands, i think
After some research on the Shadow Lands I think I have a bit more of an understanding of them they are described to have their whole body in tattoos and where wooded lacquer masks(sound like anyone) and to be apart of pirating/reaving. One interesting thing is the only people it references other then a city Stygai which is very reminiscent of Asshai, but also that there was an ancient people to tame dragons here who are said to be so old they have no name. Very interesting. Could these nameless ones be the ancestor's to these Shadow Men. Could these Shadow Men once been very powerful deep in the histories of the Dawn Age.
Image at 1:32 is the Japanese home city from age of empires 3
Dhairya I was about to say the same thing 🤣
Requesting The House of black and white.
Carcosa and a King in Yellow nice one G.R.R Martin 😉😂
Yes, a strange city.
Leng as well. Dreamlands cycle and all that.
@@diogog.fernandes6650 Leng is mentioned in the dreamlands cycle? I was pretty sure i had the name from something lovecraftian😊
@@andersbjrnsen7203 Robert W. Chambers, Late 19th century... Inspired Lovecraft and dozens of authors with The King in Yellow. That's where Carcosa and all that originally came from. Mostly he was a romance writer, but his small horror offerings helped form the whole genre.
We'll actually see Sothoryos in the "Empire of Ash" prequel TV series. We knew already that the Valyrians conquered all the Ghiscari colony cities in Sothoryos during the Fourth Ghiscari War. Thousands of years later, just before the Doom, the now-Valyrian province on the north coat of Sothoryos are sort of like Roman North Africa. Their regional capital is of course Zamettar, the big port at the mouth of the main river. It became the biggest trade hub in the Summer Sea. Something like a third to a half of the TV series will be set there (think like King's Landing and Winterfel; the capital and the province in revolt; this time it's Valyria and Zamettar).
I got the impression that....well, we already knew that the trade circle to Yi Ti and back goes clockwise, due to ocean currents and winds for trading ships. So ships going east need to pass Qarth on the north side of Great Moraq. Well, logically, looking at a map....we also know most trading ships hug the coasts instead of sailing across open water (only the Summer Islanders do that). So...merchant ships returning FROM Yi Ti back to Valyria...have to pass the Cinnamon Straits south of Moraq. Well, then what? Heading to Valyria, they'd sail along the north coast of Sothoryos….past Zamettar. So Zamettar became very wealthy, sort of like the southern version of Qarth.
Sothoryos in the prequel series won't be like the description given in ASOIAF: emphasize in your video that the stories about it being monster-filled jungles are just traveler's tales; the STEREOTYPES that people in Westeros have about it. Like how medieval Europeans had stereotypes about "darkest Africa" and didn't really think of the Mali Empire and such.
As Yandel admitted, "We cannot claim to know Sothoryos well".
Sothoryosians were KANGZ N shi
I want a spin off show about the places east of the bone mountains. Include the Ibbeneese for fun. It would basically be Asian game of thrones with more dark magic.
The Bloodstone Emperor could end up being the book version of the Night King. Just saying, it’s possible. Especially if these events are actually all connected like we’re being made to believe. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if this place ends up being brought up in either a Monroe or significant way in the books. Perhaps even getting a book series of its own, made by someone other than George R.R Martin.
4:09 hey thats the name of that yellow king they worship in True Detective season 1
Who else is here after the animated Yi Ti spinoff announcement?
Love how in the ASOIAF world, they seem to be in a perpetual state of medieval times. Literally no advancements in technology for thousands of years. No advancements in societal structure. Just straight up feudalism that doesn't get any less brutal with time.
Had been cool if the Yi Ti became a empire like the Han Dynasty. Assembling a vast army, sweeping through all corners of Essos and eventually sets their eyes to Westeros. OFC, they need to control the Shadow Lands and beyond the Five Forts. Maybe they can enslave some of these mythical people there?
I don't think they could really conquer the dothrakis, since the dothraki Have more combat experience
Sounds like Khitai in Howard's Hyborian mythos, and he's def borrowing from Lovecraft. Lovecraft and especially Howard are my favorite all time authors.
You could probably do the plains of the jogos nhai, the grey waste, ib and the thousand islands in one video
“The God on Earth”…”Earth”? Great video!
Do a video about the summer isles
There are four main islands: Walano, Omburu, Jhala, and Koj. I wrote up a lot of the Westeros Org Wiki article on it when AWOIAF sourcebook first came out.
Fantastic reading big time
@whycreate do you get most of this information from the big text book looking book, I believe it’s called a history of ice and fire and it’s written by Martin and couple other people?
Looks like Leng is a tribute to Lovecraft writings, including the "Old Ones" and the weird creatures that live on that island.
you,er video make game of thrones easy to understand
Talk about the Bone Mountains/Great Sand Sea area
Can you do a video of the continent that is West of Westeros?
In which video do you talk about Qarth? Always seemed fascinating to me
Dont know if you've done this but you could do the northeast of Yi-Ti
Old Ones sounds like Warhammer Fantasy to me :D
Dany promised to conquer the jade sea. Hope they resurrect her and have a go at that.
Considering that not even the valyrian freehold and their hundreds of dragons didn't manage to conquer that far, I really doubt she can do anything even if she was resurrected.
Nice
Just like I was absolutely interested in the North of wall.... I am interested in the other side of the five fort.
Thats funny i one of ypur other videos just earlier today i commented for a YiTi video man your on point
Lovecraft references. I love them
Jogos Ngaih work like.
"I promise that I'll never lead a raid on your lands"
*Steps down for some other leader to lead the raid*
Detail some seas or interesting islands, or the northern part of essos i dont know what is there or what was
i hope we learn more about yi ti and other eastern locations in the prequels!
Do a video on the Summer Isles
I would like to know about Qarth more!
Carcosa has a Yellow King. Shocker.
R.W. Chambers
Are there any Plains in Leng, perchance? 🤔
Old Ones? Carcosa? Yellow King? So GRRM have been reading chambers, bierce, chandler and lovecraft :p
Bless you, sir for remembering it wasn't all just Lovecraft. I love Chambers so much, I can see why GRRM does too.
I always found it stupid that the Chinese equivalent is smaller than englascotnorsehispania
Almost Everything I Know About The Game Of Thrones World Comes From Your Videos Or The Mod For Crusader Kings II.
In Chinese, 'qi' is pronounce like 'chi', not like 'ki', as Chinese city of Chonqing is like /ˌtʃʊŋˈtʃɪŋ/. I know this is freak stuff but we are all here watching this video so...
You are not chinese
Does Yi Ti still exist? Quarth is pretty close to Yi Ti and Danaerys was there
The yellow king of Carcosa. Martin paying homage to lovecraft
this Game of Thrones world building sounds exactly like a Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting.
Want a spin off based on this so bad chile!!
Ya know, I’ve been wonder. If magic west of the bone mountains is mostly non existent, does that mean magic is alive and well in the east. Because I thought that YiTish Magic would be a hard magic system
Can you please talk about Ibben?
Tomorrow I travel to China, today Whycreate releases a Yi Ti Map video. Coincidence? I think not.
what i find interesting that in this world everything is so old but yet they still using sharpen stick to fight :D
Another vid?!
Talk more about Great Marrag
I think this black stones are J R R Martin s equivalent of the pirammids from our world which are present in different part s of the world in simmilar shapes or form s and are sorounded in mistery.
It gets crazier right outside its borders, northeast are vampire corpse like people, south on leng are the old ones who are tall, slim with pure golden eyes. Everyone knows the shadowlands and Asshai, but at the heart of darkness is Stygai called the corpse city where even shadowbinders are scared to venture and lord knows what that place holds, and ancient being of evil? Maybe even a portal to the seven hells itself. Further northeast is Carcosa ruled by the Yellow Emperor and lord knows what goes on in there, but Carcosa is an evil place in Lovecraftian lore so it's probably just as evil here. And even further east are demon men, with leathery wings who can fly. This world the further out you venture from the known landmasses, the more scarier, creepier, and out of this worldly it starts to become. And some theorists claim that while Westeros and Essos put together is a massive amount of land, it probably only accounts for 40 to 50% of the land that makes up this world. Theres so much that's unknown theres no telling what the hell is going on in it
You forget that all of this is in the World of Ice and fire book. And in continuity it was written by maesters who dont have the real facts about things beyond the Bone mountains. Almost all of the pretty unbelievable stuff is exaggerated. Much like "Here be dragons" on real old world maps
@@Blackhawk211 fact or not, why would it even be written down if theres wasnt some amount of truth to the claims. Enough stories told by enough people to give said wonders credence. It's true that they themselves can't prove any of it simply because they havent seen it with their own eyes, but if they see it as something worth writing down, then it has to have some form or semblance of credibility
Bloodstone Emperor sounds like Euron Greyjoy to me.
