Bryanfury Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I dunno, can't really think of an area in Westeros similar to Auckland. Riverlands is probably closest Just thinking about it though, the geography of Auckland sort of matches into Valyria, what with the being built on 50-something volcanoes. Admittedly the Valyrian area is probably 10 times larger than Auckland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia H. Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My country would undoubtedly be the Riverlands. I'm in the capital city, so does that make it Riverrun? From a historical viewpoint, I could also identify with Raventree Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victarion Chainbreaker Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Massive metropolis in the East straddling the country's largest river just before it flows into the sea. Seoul = Volantis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slender Aimry Hill Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I come from Oldtown, live in King's Landing, often visit White Harbor for work and family, and enjoy holidaying in the Iron Islands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lointain Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, my hometown is a city since the last 3200 years.But has been inhabited - small settlement, village, town and, later, city - since the last 200000 years.Megalithic structures that are about 6000 years old.Ruins from pre-classic and classic antiquity.It has an university from the XIII century.Cathedral from the XII century, plus a crapload of other churches.Walls (only a fraction of the previous three walled circuits, being the best preserved the older and smaller).Castle, inside the city, with two walled circuits that was never been stormed by the enemies.Ancient seat of a kingdom and of a former global empire.Academic, commercial, financial and economical hub and tourism center.Foreigners seem to love our food, wine and pastry.Not too hot in the Summer, neither too cold in the Winter.Next to a great river and the sea and over seven hills.

rayarts Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I always end up living in historical towns, so maybe Braavos? I like it multiculti, flat and lots of water ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roose Trollton. Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I live in Rio de Janeiro. Huge city in the coast built around mountains with a religious monument atop one of those mountains and stinking poor neighborhoods around some of those mountains as well? That's totally King's Landing http://www.grancursos.com.br/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/RJ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowborn Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, my hometown is a city since the last 3200 years.[...] What place in the world of ASOIAF is similar to mine hometown?Rome? Paris? Some other city? Whichever it is I'd say King's Landing. Metropolitan power centre with trade, Religion and political power. Only thing that doesn't fit is that KL is a very new city, but you can't get a perfect fit anyway. Oldtown is old and cultured but not as politically powerful.For myself, some relatively big town at the coast in the relatively southern parts of the North. I couyld say White Harbor but that is not a very old place which my homecity is, and it is focused on trade while my homecity is mostly known for its old university. Perhaps Barrowton, since we do have ancient burial mounds in the oldest part of the city. You can't fit everything after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
