@@tttt-wz7zu The only show actually happening, so far is a prequel (Bloodmoon)-- It occurs 10,000-8,000 years before GoT events and is supposed to cover the First Men, origin of the White Walkers, Children of the Forest, building of the Wall, and the beginning of Houses Stark & Lannister. As of right now, HBO executives comment that they plan to do ZERO spin-offs, just the prequel. Some of the "five" shows with HBO mentioned by GRRM have "nothing to do with Westeros." Most likely, the prequel is the only GoT related show. He also has 2 shows planned with Hulu and 1 for the History Channel (some of these he said are short films, so would most likely have nothing to do with GoT). Also, it's confirmed that NONE of these shows, NOR the confirmed prequel will include ANY cast members from GoT (this was additionally confirmed by an HBO executive as well as GRRM). The prequel that's actually in the works will shoot the pilot in June of this year, so definitely will not release until AT EARLIEST first quarter of 2021, nothing in 2020 sadly. Also, it is being co-written and teleplay by the writer behind X-Men: First Class, Kick-Ass and the Kingsman movies, Jane Goldman. Cast confirmed, so far are Naomi Watts, Naomi Ackie, Denise Gough, Jamie Campbell Bower, Ivanno Jeremiah, Georgie Henley, Alex Sharp, Toby Regbo, & Sheila Atim.
If HBO is set on making a GoT spinoff, I would love it if they leaned more into the fantasy and explored Essos and the lands beyond, have the story almost entirely there, with some cameos such as dragons and faceless men.
@@CatMnds Daenerys did have purple contacts when they began filming but apparently they irritated her eyes so harshly that they decided it was best not to use them.
JOBO Yeah even from the books so much of these details are from stories and tales. So it makes you wonder what is true and what is exaggeration or misunderstanding.
Hopefully HBO may pick up the Doom of Valyria-based prequel at one point, The Dragon Demands from the GoT Wiki has a good video series detailing what he knows of it, it’s supposed to be titled “Empire of Ash”, based on what I’ve listened to, it really seems interesting.

Much like medieval Europe, Westeros is a bit dull and disappointing, compared to several nearby locations. Unlike Westeros, Europe at least had the excuse of a long "dark age," following the fall of Rome.
@@justagamingbulldog9246 I, too, am a fan of Shad. I was mostly exaggerating the lack of technological and social advancement in Medieval Europe, for the sake of drawing a parallel between Medieval Europe vs their neighbors and Westeros vs Essos. That's basically what Westeros is: a caricature of Medieval Europe. Essos is a caricature of Mediterranean Europe, northern Africa, and Asia. The general social-scientific-technological states of Westeros and Essos reflect the social-scientific-technological states of Europe and its neighbors, in a more exaggerated form: Westeros is pulling itself together, out of an age of feudalism, towards a renaissance or age of enlightenment, considering things like the Citadel exist, while Essos does a better job at living up the standards of its forebears, while also slowing decaying and losing cohesion. Slaver's Bay is a great example of this. Cities like Mereen are held together through slavery, when ages ago, they were far more stable, and they didn't rely on slavery. They're slowly decaying husks that are overtly superior to anything in Westeros, but can't be maintained. Basically, Westeros will start colonizing and subjecting various areas in Essos, at some point. It's going to be very questionably ethical, but it will probably happen, if an eldritch apocalypse doesn't screw everything up.
@@justagamingbulldog9246 The North itself might reflect Scotland, and the other Celtic cultures of Britain. The First Men are an older culture with deeper ties to the land that they inhabit, as opposed to the Andals, who are relative newcomers that conquered half what the First Men created. The situation is basically the same between the Celtic cultures and Anglo-Saxons of Britain. The Wall can still be a caricature of Hadrian's Wall, but it doesn't fit a perfect analogy. The Free Folk are still technically First Men, and the Others have a deep connection to the First Men.
@Yarp Yarp Eh, depends on the location in Europe. England, or rather the Anglo-saxon kingdoms that would become England, were still a bit "in the dark" by the 10th century. The "classic" Medieval Period (i.e., in popular culture, when the Middle Ages are depicted, how things generally existed in this specific time frame is depicted) is the 13th or 14th century, in England. That's only a few centuries later.
Congrats, mate, this was quite well done. One point about the giants: they definitely interbred with humans and created the "half-bloods" as described by Old Nan in the first book. She even described that the females who gave birth to these halfbloods were the giants who liked to take human males to mate, bc the other way was too painful. It's a passage that most women readers will never forget lol
^ It’s a little more complicated than just India or China. There’s a mountain range to the west called the fucking BONE MOUNTAINS made of bones of people & animals attempting to cross the mountains, an island of the tallest humans with the best eye sight and “old gods” to the south who either kill people or curses them and sends them back mad, and a whole freaking area to the east with the oldest city where the citizens don’t even know who/how/when the city (Asshai) was built. ITS CALLED THE SHADOWLANDS. There further north you go in the shadowlands, the more grotesque the creatures get. There’s a city up there that shadow binders (like the red woman) who inhabit Asshai are too scared to go to. And these are the same motherfuckers who eat *basically* radioactive fish from the ash river which runs black in the day & glows green at night with mutated fish. What!! Yi Ti is where the corrupt bloodstone emperor 100x worse and more evil than Joffrey killed the amethyst empress and soon reigned evil terror and he is the one who caused the long night, when the night king and white walkers were created. Though, I’m not quite sure how one thing on one side of the world caused something else on the other side. There’s going to be a spin off series of GoT set in the time during the Long Night and hopefully they go into depth about who the hero was and why so many people ALL over the world share the same ending with the same story of the same hero saving everyone from the long night. Hopefully they go into depth about Asshai and Yi Ti and Leng.

Can you do all the sell-sword companies, histories, major characters, and roles during ASOIF? I had a hard time keeping up with who’s who and what they were doing while reading.
@Dr Boom it's said that Ibbenese rarely get above 5'5", which happened to be the average height for a Neanderthal male. They have sloping foreheads and large brow ridges. The only thing about them that's not very Neanderthal-like is their dark hair, although it wasn't known that Neanderthals were probably gingers until 2007, well after GRRM started writing his series.
You forgot the Lhazareen, a peaceful culture of shepherds that are commonly raided by the Dothraki. Mirri Maz Duur was Lhazareen. You also missed the Moraqi of Great and Lesser Moraq and the Jade Islanders from Marahai. Edit: oh and also the Elephant Islanders, which is essentially Essos’ India.
So much content for potential spin-offs. I hate the idea of having all of this lore remaining unexplored. Game of Thrones only showed maybe 1/10 of all the races, and I still got 3 mintues of the video left.
I would love to hear more about Essos, it's so fascinating. The show just made it seem like it was all Dothraki, Bravosi and slavers. But it's so much more than that!
“The Old Ones”.... who reside in ruins... thoughts to be gods...... drive those who visit the ruins mad........... I feel as though this is Martin’s way of doing a shoutout and that’s pretty cool.
Just one of several. He uses a lot of Lovecraft references for places and people. Like the Deep Ones sounding like references to the fish people in the Shadow over Innsmouth. Not to mention things like the abandoned city made of oily black stone that not even the forest or wild life dare to claim or even approach.
Baron Thomas I agree that A Song of Ice and Fire, but most people watching this have only seen the show, and the name Game of Thrones is much widely known. So having GoT in the title instead of SoIaF will result in more views
Alright, here's my pitch. A spin-off that takes place before the doom of Valyria and starts with a disillusioned noble's son stricken with wanderlust. It's his duty to take the mantle of his father the dragon lord, but he could care less about being the leader of one of the 40 noble families. So He runs away with his trusty dragon and lover in the hopes of exploring the world beyond Valyria. On his adventures, he makes new friends, has some close encounters, and ultimately find what he'd been looking for after exploring all 3 continents. It ends with him as an old man with his wife and kids living on an island just far enough to watch the doom consume the first home he'd ever known. Just think about how much content there is to work within the GOT books. The cameo opportunities are limitless. He could meet unsullied, faceless men, giants, dwarfs, Dothraki, Asians, Dark magicians, Flame priests, summer island black people, children of the forest, and even ancient families like the Starks/Targaryans. Plus it can answer a bunch of questions like why magic isn't as common as it used to be, or how advanced were the Valyrians
Taylor Jakes a youtuber called Maximillionmus started a thing where he got all his subscribers to change this to their profile pic and on every video we spammed “oh yea yea”, that was months ago now though so it’s died down but some still have the profiler because we’re to lazy to change it back hahaha
Hope those that survived the war in Westeros migrated back to the Dothraki Sea, they should never have gone across the poison water, and instead focus on being a bit more peaceful, ending their infighting, and only raiding enemies
It's most likely due to misinformation. Everything we know about the world is based on westerosi knowledge and because barely anyone went east of the bone mountains, its likely that there is a lot of misinformation spread around.
It was the case in our world too. Romans and Greeks believed that further east of Persia, before India and China, there were Yetis, people with one giant foot used as an umbrella, cyclops... In medieval Europe people believed that in roughly what is known as Siberia, there were Caine's descendants
When you think about the Magic of Dragons and the Nightking ytou think the world is doomed. In the far east which people dont even know about, there could be even crazier magic and monsters
In Yi Ti there are the Five Forts, which are built between Yi Ti and the Grey Waste. They built these massive forts to keep something out of their lands. I wonder what it is that scared them so much to build these forts.
Okay, but I would love to see a G.O.T. spinoff about the counties on the easter most part of Essos. Yi Ti sounds awesome to learn about, and I'd love to see what other countries think about the events that happened in Westeros
There are still Rhoynar left in Essos, Griff and Jon Connington had some in their crew when they were hiding out. I think there are a good number of Rhoynar, but the majority are Valyrinized down in Volantis or they are highly spread out in small numbers (less than 1 million).
Westeros = Europe Essos = The Mediterranean, North Africa, The Middle East, and The Steppes Further East = South, East, and Southeast Asia Summer Isles = The Caribbean Sothoryos = Australia/Sub-Saharan Africa
Summer Isles remind me a bit of South America, with the trees that have a great value, the colored feathers and the dark skin. But SA would imo be a mix between Rhoinar and Summer Islanders, description-wise
Summer Isles=African/some Carreabean Sothryos = Neanderthals looking not African And Australia Native are not same as African in genetics. Still showing your ignorance of Africa I see lol
@@Farhan917 I was referring more to Africa and Autsralia being wild untamed areas full of dangerous wildlife like Sothoryos. Never said anything about race.
Absolutely love your vids, man. Now I can brag about this stuff and say that I’m ASOIF scholar 😂 All jokes aside though, keep up the awesome work bro 🤙🏼
It's very obvious that almost everything there is heavily inspired by medieval, renaissance and victoria-era fantasized orient/past. The mazemakers are the "cylopeans" for instance. Hykoon is Herakles. And so on. Which means that it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have a spin-off in one of those many regions - their whole purpose is to remain mysterious. This is why the further you go, the stranger it becomes. One of the biggest themes of the books and the show is the clash between a believable medieval-like world with its intrigues and politics, and a magical world with prophecies, chosen ones and dragons. One of the last things that happened in the show is precisely "what happens once the chosen one(s) defeat the big bad evil?". If the "magical" world becomes mundane, then the whole structure of GRR Martin's universe collapses.
i think one of the stark lords who had a passion for voyage travelled west only to never return....and the stark heir was so sad that he destroyed the entire stark navy....which is the reason why House Stark doesn't have a navy anymore...
I was working on my own fantasy novel last year that’s pretty much the reverse of this. The most primitive and wild people are the pale skinned race and the cool people are all all olive, tan, and dark brown. Some people that read it, mainly white people, were upset but nobody realizes that European lore does that in the reverse all the time.
@@avitiusrufinus6980 I just like to write. I have no desire to try and outdo GOT. I've never even watched an episode or read a single page of the book(s?). Not even sure how this video got in my feed. *shrug*
You should read The Wizard of Earthsea books. Ursula K Leguin basically did this. Main characters/civilization was all brown/black and the only mention of “white” people, was a barbaric race to the north, I believe. And it was quite interesting, when they adapted her books to a tv series, they made all the main characters white expect for one person, I think lol and completely ignored her. 😩
@@NonameWriter Thanks for the recommendation! It's kinda like how in Avatar the Last Airbender movie where everyone was white except for the Fire Nation who were all people of color darker skinned. Except for in the show, the Fire National are all fair-skinned Asians.
Damn... now that the show is just about over, i'm just now getting into the books. But all I want to say is I never realized how HUGE the world of ASOIAF really is! HBO could make countless spin off shows for decades... and I would be just fine with that. * *sips wine* *
Wasn't there a short race called the Ib ? Related to the Ibenese but not the same that were cleared from the Andalos and the Flatlands by the Andals and the Rhoynar before they conquered Westoros ?
Seeing that there is no mention and interbreeding horse with zebras, or any mention of zebras at all, it is likely that zorses in asoiaf are not hybrids, but just zebras.
The show is based on the books, and it already leaves out a shit ton of interesting characters and sub-plots. How would they have included extra stuff that we don't even know much about? Hahaha
This world is so fantastical to me. I am absolutely obsessed with planetos, and want so much more. I want histories and books, and there is just so much here. I have never been a fantasy person so perhaps my excitement is juvenile, but damn I just love it so much.
A question : Good evening I am a huge fan of ASOIAF series , mainly the books and there for i am a fan of you and your beautiful videos that give me more fun going through all the history and characters of GRRM fiction . I ve read ASOIAF series twice and the untold history ... and a knight of the seven kingdom and just recently i finished reading Fire and Blood , but for the last two years i was trying to get hold of rogues an dangerous women and the sons of the dragon , but i think i shouldn't , because all those three short stories from GRRM are in Fire and Blood , but i am raely not sure since i could find a proof of my suspicious , so i hope i can get an advise from you . thank you Best Regards

@@thebonecollections4478 that is Neil Gammain's shout out to one of his favorite authors, HP Lovecraft!
Just one of several. He uses a lot of Lovecraft references for places and people. Like the Deep Ones sounding like references to the fish people in the Shadow over Innsmouth. Not to mention things like the abandoned city made of oily black stone that not even the forest or wild life dare to claim or even approach.
I’d love to learn more about the farther easterners beyond the mountain range that practice necromancy 😯
Only if I could be an explorer in the World of Ice and Fire and explore every part and create it's first complete map.
There is so much lore here. We need a spinoff of a grown Arya venturing out to these places
Every Race in *A Song of Ice and Fire
Baron Thomas I agree that A Song of Ice and Fire, but most people watching this have only seen the show, and the name Game of Thrones is much widely known. So having GoT in the title instead of SoIaF will result in more views
@@ChigiHazel Exactly. And as long as the content is good (and it is), and there is no misleading titles, it's all good.
Alright, here's my pitch. A spin-off that takes place before the doom of Valyria and starts with a disillusioned noble's son stricken with wanderlust. It's his duty to take the mantle of his father the dragon lord, but he could care less about being the leader of one of the 40 noble families. So He runs away with his trusty dragon and lover in the hopes of exploring the world beyond Valyria. On his adventures, he makes new friends, has some close encounters, and ultimately find what he'd been looking for after exploring all 3 continents. It ends with him as an old man with his wife and kids living on an island just far enough to watch the doom consume the first home he'd ever known.
Just think about how much content there is to work within the GOT books. The cameo opportunities are limitless. He could meet unsullied, faceless men, giants, dwarfs, Dothraki, Asians, Dark magicians, Flame priests, summer island black people, children of the forest, and even ancient families like the Starks/Targaryans. Plus it can answer a bunch of questions like why magic isn't as common as it used to be, or how advanced were the Valyrians
Sounds legit
This would be an excellent spinoff. That's another few years worth of a show.
Cliche
ImtheONE lmao how so? I can’t think of a single show with a remotely similar plot
@@derekofoma5120 Avatar: the Last Airbender for one. And just about any animated kids show made since the 1990's.
In the show version Salladhor Saan is from the Summer Isles and part Lys also the Grey Worm, Xaro Xhoan Daxos is also from the Summer Isles.
Thank you for making this video!
This is so fascinating how many of these were inspired by our world's cultures including behavior or appearance.
Brilliant video as always, these are the exact game of thrones videos I need
what is your profile pic from? I see it everwhere
Taylor Jakes a youtuber called Maximillionmus started a thing where he got all his subscribers to change this to their profile pic and on every video we spammed “oh yea yea”, that was months ago now though so it’s died down but some still have the profiler because we’re to lazy to change it back hahaha
Always happy to see a new Video by you!🤘
Rip Dothraki
May they ride forever in the Night Realm.
:(
@@_itzriazpvp9869 sure :)
@@uhuddiosdosodpkodk you don't know which dothraki Im referring to, or maybe you do ;)
They didn't all die. They sure made it look like that, but they were in the battle yesterday.
Hope those that survived the war in Westeros migrated back to the Dothraki Sea, they should never have gone across the poison water, and instead focus on being a bit more peaceful, ending their infighting, and only raiding enemies
Nice video! Realy interesting. Could you do a video on the religions in game of thrones?
Its coming! Just give me a few weeks
whycreate cant wait
Its funny that all these are just a fantasy or imagination of one creative man
As always awesome content man thanks for the time and effort you put into this all
Thanks Nolan
Your channel is the best, keep it up! Love your videos.
So the further east you go the more messed up they are
It's most likely due to misinformation. Everything we know about the world is based on westerosi knowledge and because barely anyone went east of the bone mountains, its likely that there is a lot of misinformation spread around.
It was the case in our world too. Romans and Greeks believed that further east of Persia, before India and China, there were Yetis, people with one giant foot used as an umbrella, cyclops... In medieval Europe people believed that in roughly what is known as Siberia, there were Caine's descendants
Well, Yi Ti is the most prosperous country based on what i read.
Yi Ti is a very civilised and powerful nation but yes they are the odd ones out
Can you imagine if the show had attempted to explore every region in George’s world? It would have run 20 years!
When you think about the Magic of Dragons and the Nightking ytou think the world is doomed. In the far east which people dont even know about, there could be even crazier magic and monsters
Fr like I'd love to see the night king try to conquer those places
@@mysteryniggadel491 The Night king is bound to Westeros by magic. He cant leave the continent.
@@razatiger22 ohh damn
Why when you can just go north
Wights
White walkers
Giants
Ice spiders
An very possibly ice dragons
In Yi Ti there are the Five Forts, which are built between Yi Ti and the Grey Waste. They built these massive forts to keep something out of their lands. I wonder what it is that scared them so much to build these forts.
This is so interesting, it’s absolutely amazing how a person can come up with such detailed fantasy world.
A fresh upload just as I browse the channel for videos. 😤😤
Finally I always wanted a video about races in a song of ice and fire
Okay, but I would love to see a G.O.T. spinoff about the counties on the easter most part of Essos. Yi Ti sounds awesome to learn about, and I'd love to see what other countries think about the events that happened in Westeros
Every time I get into one of these videos, I can't help but laugh and think "Them butterflies gonna fuck you up, bro!"
Woah this show is so diverse. No wonder everyone loves it. I got to watch it
The show's pretty much the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the lore. Read the books, they're amazing :D (the show is nice as well)
There are still Rhoynar left in Essos, Griff and Jon Connington had some in their crew when they were hiding out. I think there are a good number of Rhoynar, but the majority are Valyrinized down in Volantis or they are highly spread out in small numbers (less than 1 million).
My guess is that most of the "non-noble" population of Volantis, Tyrosh and the like is of Rhoynar origin, but do not know their culture.
TheFiresloth Exactly, it’s mostly Valyrinized assimilated Rhoynars living around Volantis.
Your voice is pretty calming my dude
I loved it thanks man 🙏! I’m so glad you kept adding as you remembered? 🥰
Westeros = Europe
Essos = The Mediterranean, North Africa, The Middle East, and The Steppes
Further East = South, East, and Southeast Asia
Summer Isles = The Caribbean
Sothoryos = Australia/Sub-Saharan Africa
Summer Isles remind me a bit of South America, with the trees that have a great value, the colored feathers and the dark skin. But SA would imo be a mix between Rhoinar and Summer Islanders, description-wise
Summer Isles=African/some Carreabean
Sothryos = Neanderthals looking not African
And Australia Native are not same as African in genetics. Still showing your ignorance of Africa I see lol
@@Farhan917 I was referring more to Africa and Autsralia being wild untamed areas full of dangerous wildlife like Sothoryos. Never said anything about race.
@@balbaspusa Right lol
@@Farhan917 Fuck off with your sarcasm, you're the one who's trying to stir a "race debate". Typical leftist.
The Summer Islanders and Naathi deserve a series that focuses on them..
why?
@@bw8450 why not?
@@ChromaticEagle Idk but im not stating that they deserve a series.
My brain is spinning from all this information
The blanket term “Asian” used to descibed Yi Ti felt off to me. There are many different ethnicities in Asia.
Absolutely love your vids, man. Now I can brag about this stuff and say that I’m ASOIF scholar 😂
All jokes aside though, keep up the awesome work bro 🤙🏼
Qaathi is the ethnicity. Qartheen refers to people from Qarth.
Yea their a really interesting people
Love their hypocrisy. They only made it big since four hundred years or so, but they like to posture themselves as that ancient, wise civilization ^^
Zorses are not zebras, they are zebras and horses hybrids
Was searching the comments for this fact!
Would make a great open world MMO game
whocarez98 yup
It's very obvious that almost everything there is heavily inspired by medieval, renaissance and victoria-era fantasized orient/past. The mazemakers are the "cylopeans" for instance. Hykoon is Herakles. And so on.
Which means that it wouldn't make a lot of sense to have a spin-off in one of those many regions - their whole purpose is to remain mysterious. This is why the further you go, the stranger it becomes.
One of the biggest themes of the books and the show is the clash between a believable medieval-like world with its intrigues and politics, and a magical world with prophecies, chosen ones and dragons. One of the last things that happened in the show is precisely "what happens once the chosen one(s) defeat the big bad evil?". If the "magical" world becomes mundane, then the whole structure of GRR Martin's universe collapses.
Just subscribed to your channel bro, luv your vids. Very detailed and informative. Looking forward to more ✊🏾😎💯
Ibbenese sound like a type of Dwarf.
They are
You are doing gods work
They should make a Tv show or film out of all this!!
Really loved this analysis!!😘
You forgot some, like the basiliki, who are darker than the Summer Islander.
This makes me wish they would make so many more shows
wouldn't this world be a lot less interessting without all those different races?
It just kind of crazy how big the world GRMM created.
I wonder whats west of westeros. If there is anything out there, that'd make westeros centeros!
Unless the world is actually flat like a piece of paper then there is always something to the west.
Even more Westeros
Watch alt shift X video on that, their are three small islands way out west
i think one of the stark lords who had a passion for voyage travelled west only to never return....and the stark heir was so sad that he destroyed the entire stark navy....which is the reason why House Stark doesn't have a navy anymore...
The Great Kaboom is inevitable Im afraid...
I’d love if a spin off would explore the oceanic races and their evolved politics.
Zorses aren’t zebras in asoiaf. They are a hybrids that became their own species.
And they're actually a thing IRL.
Where did you get this info from. I cant remember anything suggesting that inasoiaf.
The World of Ice & Fire book. In the ‘THE PLAINS OF THE JOGOS NHAI’ section.
But IRL, zorses can’t reproduce. They are sterile.
a spinoff series about a cartographer dragon rider encountering all of these cultures would be pretty cool! could make a nice legend of an adventurer
So basically you want a GOT sinbad?😂
So many races in GAMES OF THRONES WORLD...very interesting.,perhaps a spinoff of to games of thrones..will be great.
Great video 👍👏
House Velaryon and Celtigar also have the blood of old Valyria.
Sick, didn't expect the Demon's Souls OST in the background.
I was working on my own fantasy novel last year that’s pretty much the reverse of this. The most primitive and wild people are the pale skinned race and the cool people are all all olive, tan, and dark brown. Some people that read it, mainly white people, were upset but nobody realizes that European lore does that in the reverse all the time.
Nobody cares what you are writing, your novel will never be near GOT, I think white people are much calmer than black in every aspect
@@avitiusrufinus6980 I just like to write. I have no desire to try and outdo GOT. I've never even watched an episode or read a single page of the book(s?). Not even sure how this video got in my feed. *shrug*
ilir AL what an asshole you are
You should read The Wizard of Earthsea books. Ursula K Leguin basically did this. Main characters/civilization was all brown/black and the only mention of “white” people, was a barbaric race to the north, I believe. And it was quite interesting, when they adapted her books to a tv series, they made all the main characters white expect for one person, I think lol and completely ignored her. 😩
@@NonameWriter Thanks for the recommendation! It's kinda like how in Avatar the Last Airbender movie where everyone was white except for the Fire Nation who were all people of color darker skinned. Except for in the show, the Fire National are all fair-skinned Asians.
What about Ulthos, Skagos, and the Unicorns of that island they allegedly ride? Also, the "Squishers" around Crack Claw Point? Great video!
HBO just give me SOMETHING, anything that uses this great potential will satisfy me, animation or real-life action.... just give me something PLEASE!
Damn... now that the show is just about over, i'm just now getting into the books. But all I want to say is I never realized how HUGE the world of ASOIAF really is! HBO could make countless spin off shows for decades... and I would be just fine with that.
* *sips wine* *
What about the race on toad island?
I
Would like
To see a
Spin-off Series
Of
Sothoryos
Wasn't there a short race called the Ib ? Related to the Ibenese but not the same that were cleared from the Andalos and the Flatlands by the Andals and the Rhoynar before they conquered Westoros ?
LOL... Why am I so fantastically intrigued by this imaginary world ?
Dude zorses are actual things lol, they aren't just zebras.
Horse/Zebra Hybrid
Zorse ?
Seeing that there is no mention and interbreeding horse with zebras, or any mention of zebras at all, it is likely that zorses in asoiaf are not hybrids, but just zebras.
@@mleedeau that's what I thought. They're only Zebras with extensive horse rider training.
What about quaggas
Bethesda must make a game based on this story, so much interesting information cover on a game
That's likely what the main Benthesda team is working on (TES 6) while another team is dealing with the Fallout 76 fiasco
Don't for get that George RR Martins did announce that Game Of Thrones game was gonna be developed by Bethesda
Instead, Westeros is hyper-focused on, and is the size of Detroit... The show missed out!
Sir Knight Errant Why should I? You’re no King of mine-just a knight!
The show is based on the books, and it already leaves out a shit ton of interesting characters and sub-plots. How would they have included extra stuff that we don't even know much about? Hahaha
This world is so fantastical to me. I am absolutely obsessed with planetos, and want so much more. I want histories and books, and there is just so much here. I have never been a fantasy person so perhaps my excitement is juvenile, but damn I just love it so much.
I wish George R. R. Martin would live forever and keep telling his story.
Very well edited.
A question :
Good evening
I am a huge fan of ASOIAF series , mainly the books and there for i am a fan of you and your beautiful videos that give me more fun going through all the history and characters of GRRM fiction . I ve read ASOIAF series twice and the untold history ... and a knight of the seven kingdom and just recently i finished reading Fire and Blood , but for the last two years i was trying to get hold of rogues an dangerous women and the sons of the dragon , but i think i shouldn't , because all those three short stories from GRRM are in Fire and Blood , but i am raely not sure since i could find a proof of my suspicious , so i hope i can get an advise from you . thank you
Best Regards
Further east and sothoryos are what tickle my fancy.
My theory is that the Brindled Men are the Neanderthals of Planetos...
I picture the Winged Men as either like the Winged Horde from Suikoden or instead similar to the Winged Race from the Legacy of Kain series of Games.
