This video topic has been highly requested for years. And here it is at last – with lots of shiny new never-before-seen illustrations (:

It was great collaborating with artists for this vid – we commissioned work by drafturgy and Mandy Finke. The Unseen Westeros stuff is also amazing, though I wish the video was done sooner, so more people would see the Unseen Westeros shoutout – their Kickstarter closes in 12 hours. So we’re releasing this video right away, without the usual Patron early access. (Unseen Westeros may be expanding their exhibition, so hopefully the late promotion will still help).

Hope you enjoy the video!

Next videos will be Elissa Farman, GOT S1E02, and Stark history.

East: the strangest places in Game of Thrones?

What strange places lie to the far east and south of Westeros? What are the dangers of Sothoryos and the Basilisk Isles? What lurks in the Shivering Sea? What does the Great Empire of the Dawn and the Five Forts reveal about the Long Night and Azor Ahai? What are the dark mysteries of Asshai?

For Aurora Borealis @ 8:10, would love to see that simpsons clip as the video lol

Alt Shift X

Haha damn, that is a primo meme opportunity missed

smirk

I guess question is semi related to this. What are your thoughts on Fire and Blood?

youngslorp

amazing, as per usual

Fabian Kester

At 16:10 you say that the Yi Tish believe that Azor Ahai ended the Long Night but don’t they believe that a woman with a monkey’s tail did it?

Alt Shift X

There is that YiTish monkey woman story, yeah. But in the Yi Ti section of TWOIAF, after the Bloodstone Emperor story, it says that in the "Further East", "all agree that it was only when a great warrior—known variously as Hyrkoon the Hero, Azor Ahai, Yin Tar, Neferion, and Eldric Shadowchaser—arose to give courage to the race of men ... that the darkness was put to rout". (Maybe Yin Tar is the YiTish incarnation of Azor Ahai). But it does sound as though the YiTish believe the Azor Ahai story, in some incarnation.

Cheers Pat! And thanks for becoming a Patron :)

I think the most fun part of F&B is the story of Elissa Farman – have almost finished a video about her :)

Rikke Holmberg

Worth the wait for sure. The artwork in this video is absolutely incredible.

Ragnar

As someone who hasn't had the time to read the books yet... Even the World of Ice and Fire one... This blew me away. Thanks alot for making it. I had no idea the world was this diverse. I almost want a whole show about this stuff.

Kelly Theobald

Oh my goodness, this video is a masterpiece!! One of my favorites yet! In your next Patreon livestream, I would love to hear more about what artwork you commissioned and more behind the scenes on this one. The last few videos have had amazing graphics, and the visuals in this video blew me away!! Excellent, excellent work!! I was completely absorbed. Now if only we could get All State to not air their damn ads in the middle of the video, ruining the moment 😡

Alt Shift X

Thank you Kelly! Yeah we can discuss all that stuff in the livestream :)

Alt Shift X

Thanks Ragnar! Well with 4(5?) spinoffs in development, I'll bet some of them touch on these places...

Infinite

Thank you! This was your best yet.
