The Demon Road (Game of Thrones Lore) 

Lmfao, same bro, same

Same. Here in Brazil we have the Estrada Real (Royal Road). It was the only road connecting Minas Gerais (a rich state full of gold, iron and precious stones) to the coast. Since the Portuguse Crown wanted to keep outsiders away from Minas the road was keep basically as dirty road during the entire colonial era. I live in one of the cities that used to be part of the Estrada Real and some parts are still dirty roads to this day!! Lmao

@@juliohenrique8546 that’s not out of tradition, your country is just impoverished and corrupt. Maybe it wouldn’t have been if you didn’t depose your reformist and great Emperor, but all great things come to an end. One day when you have your monarchy back you may prosper as the monarch acts as a check on the power and corruption of elected officials for just a small fee. Great system. ( I’m obviously British ) . Terrible shame about Portugal too. One day you may be free under monarchy, until then, slaves to corrupted men.

😭😅

Not even sure if I’m allowed to laugh but I’m dying

Weren't they made out of limestone?

Brittany os it was a combination of limestone and other things to create a really strong concrete

The Valyrians are a parallel to the Romans in general. They were the so called most advanced civilisation of their time, when in actuality they gained knowledge and selected customs from other cultures and built on that. Perhaps the Valyrians did the same.

Yup

I didn't know this so than you

Spooky season is the best 🎃

Maybe a central spot to greyscale people.. Been awhile going to run thru some content. Was looking for a new audiobook. Should finish up Dunk n Egg.

i've toyed quite a longtime about the Doom being (while having magic attached to it) atomic in nature. It would explain why the sea is still fuming, why the water is poison, why abominations (like those shown in Fire and Blood) exist still in Valyria, why the fires were so intense that even dragon burned in the air, why no man comes back, from the atomic poisoing... and why Mantarys has so many mutations. Valyria is Chernobyl.

I feel like we will get a frank/brian herbert type deal with someone extending the universe once george is finished

I believe eventually there will be... George wants to focus on the main so in turn the writers helping him have to do the same... but with the dedication to HIS version of events I believe he’s gonna set up something where the team he’s built and has sat around him making the last 3 books plus the lores and side books will have the freedom when ... (not putting it in the air) to use his notes and write supplement stories and mini novellas; if that made sense at sll

​@@ProVoNSMIt did, and thank you!

Simese twins are not demonic lmao just rare deformity but dwarfism also happens.

@@ozzibear When he said that, I envisioned one body with two heads. I’m well aware that Siamese/conjoined twins are not demonic.

Well so you assume, but have you met enough Siamese twins to validate that assumption.

@@ozzibear Maybe they are just hiding their true nature :?

With all the other weird shit in the World of Ice and Fire, why is a set of conjoined twins so hard to believe?

@@shindari having two heads isn’t what being conjoined twins is

@@samjgollings8664 It's a type of conjoinment. Not all conjoined twins are like this, obviously. But it's one of many different varieties of the same malformation. Basically two individuals sharing 90% of the same body mass. Only the skulls, with two different brains, are separate. Nobody in the World of Ice and Fire would know this, of course. Because people thought conjoined twins were nothing more than monsters/demons until science explained they were just unfortunately misshapen people. Science has not really happened in the World of Ice and Fire yet. The Citadel is as close as you come to this scientific "englightenment." Given what happened at the Doom of Valyria, right next to the Demon Road, the idea that mutated/abnormal humans would dwell in this area is really not all that hard to believe.

@@shindari why the hell are we having this conversation

@@samjgollings8664 I don't know. My original comment was just supposed to be a "flyby comment on the internet." I wasn't even looking for a conversation.

Can't wait to see all the great videos that will follow from the release of Winds of Winther!!

Tt the yyyyTT

Hell yeah

We basically got the same theory about the breeding and who this people are. I believe the fireworms were just the babies of the worms referenced by the faceless men in the valaryian mines. I feel like that’s why they kept going missing. And the fact they buy them in kold when they’re using to bring in a volcano killed them instantly. So know imagine this theory is right; it’s described as looking like hundreds. Imagine 20 people a year get snatched over 300 years... now you have an unchecked number of these things burrowing through the mines meanwhile you’re mining and building.... the doom was the perfect storm

It was blood magic not literal breeding first off because there are no living humanoid dragons born as evidenced by Targaryen still births so I'm hazarding it's not breeding it's blood magic unless they breed animals then use blood magic on people also we know targs weren't made from fire worm wyvern and human because lizard babies had dragon parts. But in a book it said a dragon egg did once hatch a white worm so that had a back mutation

I think the magic backfired in Worldoros when Rand al'Thor was born in WOToros!!

Yeah I've always thought valyria is just an irradiated mess that's why no one survives there

Haven't read the LotR books 😰

@@whycreate oh ok, hope you have a happy Halloween!

:o

I believe there have been a couple who tried to clear the way if I'm not mistaken. It's just too dangerous. Too many ways to die so quickly even for a dragon

It would be like getting rid of locusts, or mosquitos. There will always be more to replenish the ranks. Mosquitos live in tundra too, check out Alaskan mosquito clouds in summer. And locusts are just grasshoppers after they level up on meth.

😂😂

😂😂

Bless ye crops

One person that went and survived. There was a Lannister king and a dragon rider that we know went but both died

gorrilaz bro yes, a targaryen princess went, but she went unwillingly. and i know a lannister went also. it’s just euron is the only person alive who went, i mean he’s the only main character who’s went so far and has been able to tell about it.

I'm inclined with others to believe he lied about going there.

It’s likely that his claims are more than a little exaggerated.. though it’s hard to think of where he could have gotten all those artifacts otherwise

I'm like a 100% sure that there was some nuclear reactors under both Valeria and asshai. I'm also 89% sure that the song of ice and fire is set in the thousand world universe

Why would aliens would waste nukes in a Middle Ages/ Early renaissance civilization?

@@eumemo4814 It's a joke George often says, he give a lot of hints that aliens actually did interfered with human civilizations in his world. The Ironborn are a Cthulhuesc/Dagonesc cult for example, the Church or Starry Wisdom is a thing, there are hints of civilizations akin of the Elder Things in the Island of Leng, Leng it self is a nod to lovecraft works, idols made of oily black stone, something straight out of lovecraft, can be found in every single coast for example, there are people in a remote village that are like the Innsmouth folk... and well, the list could go on and on. So there is magic, yes, but advanced aliens are pretty much confirmed as well, at least in the case of Leng, they are akin to the Elder Things, but to why they would nuke Valyria? Well, they could have seem it as a threat, they were powerful with magic and pretty advanced for their time, a glass candle for example is a fucking magical lamp ffs, but tbh I like the "well their motivations and reasons are pretty much unknown" reasoning, since you know... Advanced aliens civilizations with eldritch characteristics.

@@joaovitorreisdasilva9573 well, since GRRM also contribute on elden ring, the presence of alien in GoT universe also come to realisation.

@@mad9325 wait what? How does that impact a song of ice and fire?

Well known fact! Sounds like something must be off about these volcanos..

Yup because dragons were created not wild and I think one example of a not magic user is alicent. Because in book she looks velaryian but she doesn't use magic or gave a dragon, house high tower does use magic though in some era and I'd wager too if alicent looks velaryian but still has brown hair and not purple eyes it means dominant genes work like normal and purple eyes are only of a certain bloodline

They weren’t ALL dragon riders XD plus they still gotta get trade routes through

You have to remember that this was written way before climate change was as big a deal as at the moment. I believe that Martin wanted a non-human enemy / force, but I agree it’s more like a force of nature than anything else. Magic causing mutation isn’t a new or novel idea in fantasy so I’d say it is unlikely. Witches being twisted into strange creatures by their magics is in old folklore premiddle ages. But hey ho that’s just a theory.

@@James-sk4db climate change was a theory in 1896, smart people have known for a very long time the earth is in very big trouble due to the industrial revolution. I KNOW George made the others as a climate change analogy, that part is known Khaleesi

No one cares

Or an animated series? Is it cheaper that way?

The title is to grab the mainstream, chill out

Happy thanksgiving 🦃🍁 lmao

He does you pussy
