10 Westeros Facts Game Of Thrones Won’t Tell You

Lizard lion the weirdest? Reading the books i just thought they were alligator/crocodile like creatures… cause thats pretty much how they re describeded right?
And unicorns and icespiders are said to (still) exist, but we don't actually know in the books …

thank you!!

Yes planets exist. Remember the comet?

I'm glad they binned the ice spiders! That would have been shit!

u didnt mention the ice dragons

Aerys didnt owe the iron bank jack shit thnx to tywin… of was Robert who depleted the vaults thnx to littlefinger

Wrong from the very first fact… The Children were not the only inhabitants of Westeros before humans colonised it. Giants and supposedly other beings inhabited it before humans came over. The Children and Giants would occasionally fight eachother in small skirmishes and wars.

what about the giants?

doesnt 1 ans 2 sound like colonialism XD

I really don't think WW were created like that in the books, show only. They probably are a separate race entirely in the books

Are giants considered a race?

Where do giants fit in?

Actually the first inhabitants of westeros were the children and giants

What I got is, they didn't make the White Walkers, they made the Night King. Thus the WW were not just a manifestation of winter, they were its humanization.

Are you bold, or bald? I can't tell, because you talk funny. 🙂

I'm grateful for no unicorns or ice spiders. White Walkers on spiders would not feel dangerous, they'd just look like someone's juvenile, ridiculous fantasy. Dragons are more than enough.

By third race you mean aside from the first men and andals? Because there are many more known that we know on the show; the valyrians, the rhoynar, ghis, summer islanders, etc.

Wait facts about a fiction book? … you cereal?

humans aren't native to europe or asia either
we came from afrika
so the first fact is a matter of opinion

Hxhxhxhxhhxx

BRAN FLAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

You forgot about the giants

I thought lizard lions were just their name for alligators

I'd like to see more about the Children of the Forest, tbh. Kind of hope some more show up in modern times. There were some in the book, I think? I can't remember, but not much in the show yet. Mostly just flash backs, and Leaf?

I knew all these

The first men conquered it, it means it's theirs. 200,000 years of Earth history will tell you that.

Euron has travelled west from the iron islands

There's also the Rhoynar (other than the First Men and the Andals).

Westeros is a place in Sweden. (It's spelled Västerås but pronounced the same. More or less.) I have never seen Unicorns there. There could be ice spiders, though. If they were surprised by the winter and turned into spidecicles. I can't say for sure there aren't Unicorns there, I only spent a couple of hours in the place and they could have been hiding the whole time.

This is good but, where do the race of Giants comes from?

Well modern people didn't originate in Europe but migrated from Africa, there is also a mix of neandertal genes within the racial genetics of some Europeans. I'd guess Westeros is similar.

Forgot giants

What was the white walkers plan without a dragon?

It is a shame the later season haven't took time to explore these in more detail

giants were also around at the same time as the children of the forest.

The answer to the 2000 years to make an army thing is well the Children creating the Others is bullshit. I mean its fine for the show I guess. The White walkers in the show are different from the Others in the book. But I refuse to believe the Others were created by the Children until I read it in Martin's book. Its really messes up the lore already in the book and leaves lots of stuff unexplained. Its a simple answer for the show (which is a simplified version of the story) but its not a very good origin for the book version

didn't euron say he's gone across the sunset sea?

#7: ASOIAF takes place in one of the 1000 worlds of Martin's novels, possibly during the interregnum. Which in addition makes the books science fiction rather than fantasy, or at least some kind of mixture of both.

Fact #1: Season 7 is just fan fiction BS without GRRM's writing. Fact #2: Read the books. Fact #3: Go LittlefingerXSansa 🙂

boring

I'd say pretty much EVERYONE know EVERYTHING you mention here…

When George R.R. Martin wrote the Game of Thrones, one of the authors he took some inspiration from was horror legend H.P. Lovecraft. In the series, Martin implies that the "third race" that built the throne on the Iron Islands are the Deep Ones from Lovecraft's "A Shadow Over Innsmouth" – a malevolent race of inhuman fish/toad beings that worship ancient, sinister alien gods. The inhabitants of the Iron islands have no idea where their throne came from. When they showed up thousands of years ago, the throne was just "there". There are several references to suggest that the Deep Ones exist in the World of Ice and Fire where Game of Thrones takes place, especially in the books. Interestingly enough, in Lovecraft's story, the Deep Ones are believed to be eradicated – the same applies to the White Walkers, Children of the Forest, and giants in Martin's work, all of which are still alive. Makes you wonder what else is still out there, especially in places where the First Men never reached….

So confusing it actually makes sense

What is seemingly amazing about the timeline is technology has not seemed to advance.  In a couple of thousand years look at the technology we have advanced, in GOT it doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.

If you look closely at the opening scene, it's on the inside of a globe, maybe it is Earth but a hollow Earth

Questions I have.
-If the white walkers only attack during winter, why not travel to the other hemisphere and wait it out?
-Who built the wall and how? It's implied that it's man made, but that doesn't make much sense given their lack of technology. It should have been created by nature.
-Why are there no guns?? The kingdom's specialise in combat. They have used fire as a weapon and they use projectiles in the form of bows and arrows. Surely somebody would have put 2+2 together and at least created a makeshift cannon.
-Are dragons always male? How were the eggs created?

Thanks and any answers are appreciated.

Ice spiders?! …Naw, I'm good.

Late to the game here, but that sound at the beginning of the videos – that's the Tardis, isn't it?

"If you wanted to do a science fiction approach, you could call it an alternate world, but that sounds too science fictional." Getting a little lazy in the writing department are we?

The humans are the villians, that's deep!
