No, Westeros = Western Europe. Scotland, the north of England, southern England, The Reach being France and Dorne Spain. But that's not the question. Everyone has interpreted it geographically, but how about politically? Here our prime minister is Tywin - utterly ruthless with opponents but bringing a certain sense of peace and stability to his land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politically Sweden is probably like Volantis, we have the elephants (right-leaning-alliance of partys) vs the tigers (the left-leaning-alliance of partys) and both of them hate the red gods followers (sweden democrats - who wants to reduce mass immigration, just like the valyrians behind their wall).

Hard to imagine what Bravos and Finland have in common, except that neither have never had a king and is formed by former subjects of another kingdoms or cities.. and a big Dothraki Sea next to us (Siperia)... But still Finnish medieval history is more Skagos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iona Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Since the game was started by a Swede, I as a Finn am now thinking of the Gulf of Bothnia as the Narrow Sea. That would make Åland and all the islands thereabout Stepstones and the Dothraki Sea would be behind the Ural mountains. But let's face it, in Finland, winter is always coming.

Good Guy Garlan Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Politically, the US is very much like the Kingsmoot. Clinton/Victarion: Vote for me and things will stay pretty much the same as they are now. Bernie/Asha: Vote for me and we will have peace and every third son will have the resources to make a living. Trump/Euron: The Iron Islands don't win anymore. We don't beat Braavos anymore, we don't beat Volantis. I will make the Ironborn great again. I know the best people: red priests, warlocks, you name it. You will have so many dragons, it'll make your head spin. And just look at my future wife, just look at her. I mean, compared with Selyse Baratheon, just look at that. Gary Johnson/Gylbert Farwynd: Because nobody knows who the fuck he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon's Queen Consort Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 54 minutes ago, Sigella said: The Daynes have purple eyes and silver hair dude... Quote Ran Ashara Dayne is described as having violet eyes. Is this from a marriage to the Martells after Daeron II's sister married into that line, thus giving them some Targaryen features? From other Valyrian descendants? And, um, mind telling us the Dayne banner (emblem and field)? The Sword of the Morning and his sister has caught my imagination. George_RR_Martin I would have to consult my notes to tell you the Dayne arms. Offhand I don't recall. As for the violet eyes . . . look, Elizabeth Taylor has violet eyes, and she's not of Valyrian descent (that I know). Nor is she related to Aegon the Conquerer. Many Swedes have blue eyes, but not all those with blue eyes are Swedes, and not all Swedes have blue eyes. The same confusions exist in the 7 Kingdoms. Ran So many banners, I was shooting in the dark. And I was actually arguing that she was a Liz Taylor type. Thanks. George_RR_Martin If you want to figure out a family's descent, the names are a better clue than the eyes. Houses descended from the First Men tend to have simple short names, often descriptive. Stark. Reed. Flint. Tallhart (tall hart). Etc. The Valyrian names are fairly distinct are well: The "ae" usage usually suggests a Valyrian in the family tree. The Andal names are . . . well, neith Stark nor Targaryen, if that makes sense. Lannister. Arryn. Tyrell. Etc. Of course, you also need to remember that there have been hundreds and in some cases thousands of years of interbreeding, so hardly anyone is pure Andal or First Man. http://web.archive.org/web/20001005212114/eventhorizon.com/sfzine/chats/transcripts/031899.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I am from the Balkans, so I guess I belong somewhere between Pentos and Myr and Lys...maybe Tyrosh as well. East, but not far east, westernmost east. Anyway, if Westeros is UK and Western Europe, what is The Vale then? Switzerland? Must be, because no other country in Europe is that mountainous.

However GRRM has told that the Daynes are not Valyrian even if they had the same eye color. It might sound crazy but I trust the author more than the wikia.

It's just disturbing to think that such a large percentage of Americans have the same mindset and IQ as the average Ironborn. Creepy stuff. Geographically, however, Florida (yes, I live in Florida, but don't blame me) is pretty much the Neck: we've got swamps, lizards and weird bog people who throw stuff at you if you get too close.
