>>218412875First for King Daemon Blacfyre, first of his name.
>>218412968>What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bastard? I’ll have you know I was knighted first out of all the squires in the Red Keep, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Blackfyre usurpers, and I have over 300 confirmed slayings. I am trained in Dornish warfare and I’m the top archer in all the Southron kingdoms. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will snuff out your bastard bloodline with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that rubbish to me with a raven’s letter? Think again, bastard. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the Seven Kingdoms and all of your traitorous secrets will be revealed so you better prepare for the storm, turncloak. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your “life”. You’re fucking dead, boy. My cousin Lord Bloodraven can be anywhere, anytime, and he can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with Dark Sister. Not only is my house extensively seasoned in the art of warfare, but we have access to the entire arsenal and martial talent of the Kingsguard, the Goldcloaks, and all the leal Great Houses of the Realm and we will use them to their full extent to wipe your bastard’s ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the iron price, you godsdamned idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it, like we drowned your false king Daemon in a rain of arrows on the Redgrass Field. You’re fucking dead, bastard.
Thoughts on this "post season 8" scenario where everything goes to shit?
LORD ASHFORD FUCKS HIS SHEEP

>>218412982 grayscale is magic and when someone who is infected gets burned it goes postal and Shireen and Jon Con are supposed to explode into plague nukes I think
Just watched the whole thing these last 2 nights. Pretty kino desu. I thought I wouldn't enjoy anything in this universe again, didn't bother with HOTD because it looked shit. Is it as good as dunk? Might read the books again because I'm getting the jitters that I haven't felt since 2015I fucking love this shit bros
>>218413233hotd s1 = got s6-7hotd s2 = got s8If you must, stop watching after s1ep8
>>218413233It's quite shite
>>218412968I cannot stress enough how shit Bittersteel’s sigil is.
>>218413233>Is it as good as dunk?No. First season is meh with some good elements like the Viserys actor's performance. Second season is just atrocious, and the third somehow looks worse.
>>218412875Do you guys have a map with the names of the countries? Also, why is the land around Kings Landing so coveted? I'd move to one of the islands because you know what? Ice zombies can't swim.
>>218413330>Do you guys have a map with the names of the countries?
>>218413330
>>218413330https://x.com/WesterosCrafthere you go lil bro
>>218413353>>218413361>>218413388Thank you
>>218413330IIRC Dragonstone used to be the seat of the crown but I forget why the targs moved to the mainland.
>>218413407Wait, no ody answered...>Also, why is the land around Kings Landing so coveted? I'd move to one of the islands because you know what? Ice zombies can't swim.The Summer Islands looks like a great place to wait out the Winter. Why didn't everyone move there?
Ah...home...
>>218412968
>>218413439>Ice zombies can't swim>Dead things in the wood. Dead things in the water. Six ships left, of the eleven that set sail. Jon Snow rolled up the parchment, frowning. Night falls, he thought, and now my war begins.
>>218413439Shae kinda cute bros… brb might fall in love
>>218413423I think dragonstone was just the first place aegon the conqueror landedYou might be thinking that dragonstone was historically the seat of the first in line to the throne under the targ dynastyIt's why stannis was given it when Bobby b became king
>>218413519I thought so too but then why tf did they name King’s Landing as such?
The summer isles have things worse than wights and giant spiders
>>218412875what are the odds AKOSK success motivates the fat man to continue the Dunk and Egg series?Those are novellas so they should be easier to write, right?
>>218413533Bad phrasing on my part. I don't remember this ever being explained but I think after the OG targs left valyria they chilled on dragonstone for a bit before deciding to conquer the mainland
>It takes a woman to rule. An Aegoetha, not an Egg. Kill the boy and let the tranny be born
>>218412665why? middle aged men can be clean shaven too
>>218413464>Isle of WomenAll joking aside! Why in the fuck didn't anybody move to "sex island"?!Was it ever mentioned in the book(s)? I feel like this is a huge fucking plot hole.
>>218413580Cersei mentioned Robert wanted to conquer it so he could suck on black boobs.
>>218413576>made him whiteamerimutts really think spain is a vantablack dark as coal nigger country
>>218413561Probably. Anything to avoid having to write winds
>>218401806mirror pls sers
>>218413590>“Jalabhar Xho?” Cersei gave a derisive snort. “Begging her for gold and swords to win his homeland back, most like.” Beneath his jewels and feathers, Xho was little more than a wellborn beggar. Robert could have put an end to his importuning for good with one firm “No,” but the notion of conquering the Summer Isles had appealed to her drunken lout of a husband. No doubt he dreamt of brown-skinned wenches naked beneath feathered cloaks, with nipples black as coal. So instead of “No,” Robert always told Xho, “Next year,” though somehow next year never came.
>>218413590Oh! There's black people in the Summer Isles? That explains it. I'd rather go to the Wall then (no blacks).
>>218413609Why would Robert need a foreign distant place to see black women? They're just as native to westeros as anyone else
>>218413609new word
>>218413598I do not blame him.Writing a story with 50 POVs is fucking nightmare.Every POV character needs their own supporting cast and half the POVs are just pointless.Why the god did he insist on including all of them?He could have written spin-off series that followed events in Dorne or something
>>218413519>>218413533Dragonstone was essentially the Targaryen holiday home; it was in their possession when they were still based in Valyria before they fled when they had the dream about Valyria’s destruction. King’s Landing is just that: the first place Aegon landed when he decided he’d conquer Westeros. He set up a castle on the mainland as a base of operations and then it just developed into the capital after he had subjugated the island. I think World of Ice and Fire mentions that Aegon had considered making Oldtown the capital but picked King’s Landing because of how close it was to Dragonstone.
>>218413676just kill more characters or combine POVs together like Tyrion travelling with Catelynthis is elementary book writing 101, this old shit has done it before
>>218412875>upside down Russia>big tilted Greenland>deformed Greece>upside down Ireland stitched to deformed EnglandBravo, obese incest-fetisihist boomer
>>218413640Because they’re not.
>>218413741Could have fooled me
>>218413720I never got this type of critique towards fantasy maps. So what? How does this affect the narrative in any way that isn't positive?
the summer isles needs missionaries to convert to the faith of the seven, i volunteer to gohttps://www.youtube.com/@TVYABANTU
>>218413764I like to think after the events of Dunk & Egg there is a mass exile and extermination of Summer Islanders which is why by the time of GoT they’re basically nonexistent in Westeros and banished. Perhaps an ASOIAF version of ICE.
what's a good name for a northern house?setting up an ASOIAF campaign and looking for ideas.

ENTER
Robb should have been the one who married Joffrey instead of Sansa, it would solve a lot of problems for everybody involved
>>218414198The brute of Brappen
>>218413464According to the Summer Islanders, they had no ocean going ships in olden days, just small canoes and such to get from island to island thus they weren't aware of the rest of Planetos, until the Ghiscari showed up just a few thousand years ago.Which reinforces my theory that Planetos was settled in our future by genetically enhanced humans from Earth.
>>218414198Why the cringe attempts at puerile humor that don't fit the tone of the show at all?They're so blatant in their stupidity it's almost like they're making fun of that type of humor, but I know HBO so that certainly isn't the case.
>>218414241>Which reinforces my theory that Planetos was settled in our future by genetically enhanced humans from Earth.Crackpot headcanoning, this isn't science fiction, fuckwit
>>218413353wheres valyria
>>218414305science fiction and fantasy are the same thing
>>218413533>I thought so too but then why tf did they name King’s Landing as such?The Targaryens already had a foothold on the mainland with some small houses, while the region around the Blackwater regularly traded hands in battles between the Durrandons and Ironborn (who controlled the Riverlands at the time).

where were Stannis and Renly fostered / squired
It’s actually insane how good the writing was in seasons 1 - 4 . The sets. The armor. The dialogue. The subtle hints.
George really should have put the iron islands on the East side of Westeros lol
>>218414433probably stayed home or in greenstone
>>218414257That’s such a perceptive question I can’t believe nobody has mentioned in this general at all
Seasons 1 and 4 were so good that every scene on YouTube has like 5 million views or more
Varys is a mermaid
>>218413793It shows laziness, and evidently we all realized how lazy he is by not finishing the damned book in 15 years. For a realistic map, It doesn't take much to draw random mountain ranges and drawing continents around them in different shapes. If a geographic feature is key to the plot, consult a geography professor - most will probably help for free, and if they charge money it won't be much.>>218414401That's not what I was criticizing, dumbass. Learn to read.
>>218414459Thank you.
>>218414497>it shows lazinessNo it doesn't and you and all your friends on the /tg/ worldbuilding thread will never EVER make a compelling narrative that anyone on the planet will ever read. NEVERRRRRRRRRR. EVER.
>>218414314>wheres valyriaIt's a smoking hellscape of magical radiation.
>>218414497That's exactly what you were criticizing, retard. Learn not to be stupid.
>>218414537I want a movie about the Doom
>>218414486Nah he’s a blackfyre which actually explains a lot
>>218413330i havet seen show this yet is the guy on the right a fusion between varys and tyroin?
>>218414565I was criticizing the fact he just copied existing geographic regions. Your map makes fun of criticisms that make fun of unrealistic geographic features - it is usually posted against critiques of the LOTR maps. You're a dim witted moron sitting on top of mount stupid.
>>218414633yes
>>218414605Illaryo is a bf from the female side Varys is just his ally
>>218414652>oh my science does the author not know this mountain range would change wind directions in such a way that the development of crops would be difficultThings no one has ever said while reading a book
Stop raping ser
>>218414695Yeah, including me, that's why I never made that criticism. You keep replying to me as if I made that criticism several times already. Go on, give me another (You) showing how completely retarded you are.
I fought I lost Now I rest. But you? Lord Snow. You will be fighting there wars until the end
>>218414742I only replied to you this one post though, you're talking to multiple people. All schizophrenic. You're schizophrenic too.
Distinct lack of thatch roofs in these shows
>>218412982Wouldn't work because it has something bad happen to Bronn.
If Daeron's daughter hadn't been retarded, would she have been queen instead of Egg
>>218414891I don't think so. People would be afraid of second Dance. She would be skipped, just like Rhaenys was in previous Grand Council. It set a precedent.
They call me Darkstar and I am of the night.
Valarr = ValarBRAVO Baelor
>>218414933A dance of eggs? Dragons already died
>>218415040Sure, but a civil war is still a civil war. They would want to avoid that, especially with Blackfyres still alive beyond the Narrow Sea. If they declared Fourth Blackfyre Rebellion on a divided realm instead of united one, it would went much worse.

>>218415084Blackfyre fucking shits
>>218415094>Pussy ain't everything, hoe
Chatgpt told me westeros in the WotFK era is supposed to feel rundown and depopulated because of the heeming the population took in the Dance, the plague that followed the Dance and the first blackfyre rebellion. Is that true?
>>218415427>Chatgpt told
>>218415427Yes.
>>218415427No, not really. Dance was around 200 years before the aGoT, and Blackfyre Rebellion around 100. The kingdoms mostly healed from old scars by now. The last big was was War of the Ninepenny Kings, and it took part on the Stepstones, so no casualities in Westerosi civilians. Robert's Rebellion did some damage, but not to the extent of the Blackfyres or Dance. In fact, you will notice that armies in main series are usually bigger than the ones from ealier centuries. There also were no big plagues since Great Spring Sickness, also around 100 years ago.But by the time the Feast for Crows starts, Westeros is badly fucked, especially the Riverlands. WotFK was really fucking brutal, more than any other war in Westeros.
*travels back in time to cause a plague that kills every single dark-skinned person in westeros before he was born*
>>218415427>Chatgpt told me
become the dragon yourself
>>218415553See thats what chatgpt told me today I don’t know why it changed its tune since last month. I mean obviously the Riverlands took a fucking but it made it sound like at the start of GoT it was far below its peak population citing the long distances and lack of towns and villages
Better be a sex season where Dunk plows the shit out of Rohanne.
>general is already dying>hotd s3 soonITS OTTOVER
Do the high towers suck in the books as much as the show?
>>218415717AI is wonky and not really reliable, i would advise you to take anything from it with a grain of salt. At the start of aGoT Westeros is definitely not depopulated at all, the problem lies somewhere else.That is, the fatman is very famously bad with numbers and distances. For example, he says Westeros is size of South America, but it makes completely no sense at all, considering how fast people travel from location to location ,it is more like a bit bigger Britain. There are towns, but fatman usually does not put them on the maps for some reason. I suppose they are less important that house seats to the plot? I dunno. So you see the map and see Lannisport, Duskendale, Gulltown, etc... usually two or even fewer cities in each kingdom. But there are a lot of a smaller ones that simply are not marked here. This is why you can find discrepances on the internet about it. Some people can't accept it and try to make some theories to make sense from George claims, instead of simply accepting that he can't into numbers.
>>218415832they run the city where all the fucking maester fucking shits are
>>218413464being on 4chan for so long as started rubbing off on meI was reading the lore of the Summer Islands and when I was reading the part about the special super advanced ships the Summer Islanders got that other peoples lack, I suddenly realized from the description that they are basically 16/17th century galleons. And I couldn't help thinking "but historically these ships were designed and built first by western europeans, not sub saharan africans, GRRM is making the Summer Islanders superior in this regard because of his favoritism/anti racism"Once, this would have never occured to me while reading the lore and I wish I hadn't taken the habit to see everything in this lightfuck you, 4chan
>See thats what chatgpt told me it's so over for the goyim
>>218415832they are lannisters 2.0 during dance of the dragons but after that they are just HIGH af.Also Slave Queen Alicent where she gangbangs with young boys is CANON
>>218415868>4chan gave me critical thinking skills. irl africans couldn't even cross the strait to madagascar lol.
>>218415893I already knew that and if someone had made about irl history (or some period drama or historical novel) I would have called bullshit even before I started lurking and posting therebut now I see it even in scifi/fantasy
>>218415935> had made about irl history sorry meanthad made the claim that africans developped oceanic travel before europeanin irl history
>>218415427AI ain’t Christian dammit.
Jalabhar Xho should be played by a Ryan Gosling. It's a fantasy story so it doesn't need historical accuracy.
why is Lys the only place in the world where Valyrian features are still common ?
>>218415427>>218415450Wait, fuck, misread the post. NO LOLThought you were asking about the KotSK era.
>>218416038Because it was filled with them

>>218413862Nothing about the geography of asoiaf is accurate or makes sense, not the maps and not grrms writing. Things like territory, distance, travel time, population density and distribution, etc. It's all whack. It's part of Grrm's general problem with scale, see the size of the Wall, or the widely fluctuating worth of money etc. Grrm is not like tolkien who wrote out an calendar timeline for the appendix of lotr.
>>218413519The Targs from the Valyrian Freehold moved their stuff to Dragonstone a few years before the Doom. Ageon and his siblings were born on dragonstone.
>>218418096> Grrm is not like tolkien who wrote out a calendar timeline for the appendix of lotr.He should have, too much stuff happened in two fucking years
