Thanks. I was just wondering because I was concerned on how it would look.@The Plainsman , I don't see how they look wrong or bad.
Thanks. I'll PM you tomorrow.@The Plainsman , I can help with that. My mother tongue is Spanish.
whats essos like?
Have I posted any of this before?
It's my attempts to make a more "realistic" Westeros. Basically do some justice to this continent sized land mass rather than "What if Medieval England but big?"
The Reach- Medieval France, particularly under the Capets. Due to its massive population and adherence to very outdated inheritance laws the Reach is the most fractured realm in all of the Seven Kingdoms.
The Stormlands- Norman England. A very militaristic society with everything from the wars of the First Men, to the Andal Invasion, to wars with the Dornish and their conquests of the Riverlands are celebrated here. Skirmishes and drawn out feuds between the lords of the Stormlands and their neighbours are very common, so the Lords of Storms End tend to encourage enlistment in the Royal army or mercenary work overseas. Stormlords are common among the adventurous nobles who will venture north to the wall to participate in raids on the Wildlings (yeah, the Nights Watch isn't just criminals anymore)
The Westerlands- the Malian Empire. Who else has that much gold? A highly centralised realm established after the Andal invasion, with the literate Septons helping the Lannisters to dominate trade right under the Casterly's noses and then establish a system of provinces which superseded their vassals traditional feudal lands. Light red are still traditionally run lands, the darkest red is Lannister held and the middle shade are these provinces.
I've ideas for most of the rest of the realms, but shout out and if I like it I might include it!
Also yes the Iron Islanders are bigger because realism.

The Vale - a cross between the Tibetan Empire and 15th century England?

how about the equivalent to Russia and Scandinavia? also how about the equivalent for the Christian Iberia states?Some ideas I have:
- Dorne as a rough equivalent to Andalusia, with it being a beacon of religious and cultural diversity; the Faith of the Seven is still dominant in much of Dorne (especially among the Salt Dornish), however the worship of Mother Rhoyne and the traditional Rhoynar pantheon is also much more common among the Rhoynar, who form the ruling classes of Dornish society. There could also be a sizeable R'hllor population, as well as possibly some communities of other religions from the Free Cities.
- The Vale as a rough equivalent to the Old Swiss Confederacy, being a confederation of various smaller realms. Maybe throw in some Renaissance Italian influence as well, with some republics being influential members of the confederation.
- The North as an equivalent to the Baltics, specifically the religious conflicts of the era. Have some more conflict between the worshippers of the Old Gods and the Faith of the Seven (though not necessarily always at holy war with one another; just have them be further apart than they are in ASOIAF), with the North specifically being an equivalent to Lithuania that has slowly been undergoing the process of converting to the Seven. The Starks mostly still worship the Old Gods, as do many of the more important lords, however there are also many lords and even members of the Stark family who have embraced the Seven.
Christian Iberia would probably be the Marcher Lords.how about the equivalent to Russia and Scandinavia? also how about the equivalent for the Christian Iberia states?
Scandinavia would probably be the Iron Islands, what with how they already have the whole Viking thing going for them. Russia can probably be rolled into the North somehow as well as the Baltics.how about the equivalent to Russia and Scandinavia? also how about the equivalent for the Christian Iberia states?
