TheWitch Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This doesn't include the Dawn age. Early Andals and First Men count I guess. Personally I would chose the Rhoynar. Pretty progressive in their outlook of society, highly cultured and a laid back simple religion. The cities sound like they where beautiful and I imagine they where nice places to be rich. My second choice would be Valyria, because who doesn't want a dragon? However, there's just something repellent about Valyria itself, primarily from the illustrations in TWOIAF. What about you? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naseridrl Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'd like to live with the Rhoynar. It seems like such an interesting place, with beautiful cities with distinct identities, with peaceful ways who were inclusive and welcoming but when pushed they could be fierce. Plus I'd also like to have lived during the time of the Fisher Queens to know more about it I get the feeling it was a magical dynasty. The one place I've not interest in though is Valyria. It seems a place all about the purchase and growth of power, its a place I'd find oppressive and repellent. Plus it didn't look very safe. I'd be worried about someone pushing me into onrushing lava, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cladinator Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 TWoIaF made Valyria look a little dingy to me (not Flea Bottom dingy, but unappealing). I don't think that's my kinda place. I'm going with the Age of Heroes on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Rhoynar by far. After that, any place but Valyria or the Ghiscari Empire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWitch Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Also the Rhoynar has such a interesting style of magic. If I get to be like a water bender from Avatar, I'm down aha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimim Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Rhoynar, then someplace like Summer Islands, or YiTi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJames Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Valyrian Freehold (assuming I'm a Lord Freeholder).They had the best technology, the strongest army, and many other great aspects. I would absloutly ride a dragon and try to conquer distant lands in the name of Valyria. I would burn Braavos to the ground, wiping them off the map.Most importantly I would try to prevent the Doom of Valyria by getting more Dragon Lords to follow the example of the Targaryens and settle in the more distant cities of the empire. I would also encourage expansionism, encouraging fellow Valyrians to invade Westros and the Summer Isles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jm4n68 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I was ready to come in and start preaching about the Indus Valley Civilazation and Mohenjo Daro, but of course you mean in world.....I'd pass the greats in favor of a patch of land in the Summer Isles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreign675 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It has always puzzled me the adjective 'great' near Ancient Civilization. If a civilization was ever 'great', it's our own. I can't see how First Men count, AFAIK first men were not organized into a civilization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gallows Knight Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I once had a professor who when asked a similar question said to the effect, "I could live in any civilization anywhere, as long as I was near the top." I think that holds true for me too. Valyria would be cool, but being a slave in a mine on a volcano, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal Malenkirk Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 If by dumb genetic luck I was a dragon lord; Ancient Valyria. If I don't have a dragon; anywhere else in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
