LoyalStarkBannerman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 A new continent? :stunned:And about the world map, how accurate is this map that is based on a picture leaked a few months ago?http://i36.photobuck...apSpecNamed.pngThat map is somewhat accurate, but there are a few notable differences. I've edited in the differences (as well as some of the names) into that map.http://i.imgur.com/A64sz.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalStarkBannerman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 By the war, "Far Ib" is wrong. That island is called "Ib Sar." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werthead Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting. So is the Jhogos Nai the land beyond that massive mountain range, or the name of the range itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushido Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Is there Izembaro in connection to Braavos? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalStarkBannerman Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Interesting. So is the Jhogos Nai the land beyond that massive mountain range, or the name of the range itself?The mountain range is called the "Bone Mountains." Just beyond those is a massive valley called the "Great Sand Sea." Then beyond that, is the "Plains of the Jogos Nhai." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooqueen126 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 The preview image of the crossroads area, while not containing actual new places, did clear up a lot of that area....there was a lot crammed in there like Lord Harroway's Town, Saltpans, the Inn, the rivers, the Kingsroad. I'm looking forward to Westeros as much as Essos. Alright maybe not quite as much........but still looking forward to it.Because of it's weird weather, Westeros is basically far less populated than Europe.

Ser Matt of the Hill Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Has anyone tried, with the new map data we have, to calculate how much of Essos / water we don't see? IIRC GRRM said that the planet was a little larger than earth. If we assume the northern reaches of Sothyros and the Summer Isles as approximately the equator, we can guess how much we're missing. The circumference of the earth around the equator is I think about 25,000 miles. If we go by that starting value we can measure by the length of the wall at 300 miles. If it turns out, for example, Oldtown to Asshai is, say 22,000 miles, we know Essos must end soon after what we see, or Westeros would be too close and somebody would have found Eastern Essos from Pyke or something by accident. I might try this when I get home tonight. Or has someone tried already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduardo Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Another Argentinian!Don't books get retained at Ezeiza or Retiro customs? I wanted to order it but all the importation restrictions kinda scare me...Luckily, books don't get held by customs or pay taxes.Sometimes you will have to go and retrieve the package in Retiro postal office, but that's it.I am a little concerned if this Map book will qualify as a book or not in customs, if they decided it is not, there will be taxes to pay.

Cheese Pudding Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 This Import Fees Deposit is making me sad, more expensive than the book itself. And it happens only with "The Land of Ice and Fire", why?(from Brazil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrik of Dorne Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Because it's not really classified as a Book, in Brazil. Well, even Amazon doesn't classify it as a book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or has someone tried already?I haven't seen the precise scale, but the distance from Oldtown to Asshai should be a smidge over 6,000 miles (or the distance from London to Bangkok, give or take a hundred miles). A significant portion of the planet's circumference but nowhere near enough to make it quicker to travel to Westeros eastwards from Asshai.

Werthead Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Apparently that's 'Great Moraq'. Which oddly has never been mentioned in the books to date (presumably as it didn't exist until a few months ago) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voodooqueen126 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 If people from the North are called Northerners, people from the Westerlands are called Westermen, and people from Dorne are called Dornishmen/Dornish.I think people from the Stormlands are called Stormlanders.What are people from the Vale called?Valemen? Valians? Valish?Or the Reach?Reachish? Reech (France->French)? Reachian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
