The map of The Vale of Arryn from Game of Thrones / ASoIaf explained Littlefinger art by - skiofit.deviantart.com/art/Pe... The Eyrie art by - Lino Drieghe Contact ► whycreatevideos@gmail.com Twitter ► whycreator
Something about the Vale that I found interesting is that there is a second House Arryn. House Arryn of Gulltown is a small cadet branch that unlike the pride and poor relatives of the main branch is very wealthy and not as proud marrying into wealthy merchant families with no noble connections. So there are other Arryns.
@@swazzy72 That someone is not realy guy who lived in this world before, it is just a fictional character & map that came out of guy called George Martin!! nothing special but people are being so fanatical as if it were real!! they went to extent to over exaggerating it!!!
@@sjnmhn Yeah it's a fictional world, so what? It's interesting and deep, which is why so many people are interested in it, which also makes it special, just because you don't get that doesn't give you the right to laugh at them for enjoying what they like. P.S That someone the guy was taking about was George Martin, did you think a fictional character wrote GOT?
not really. Jon arryn was given lysa because she was not a maid (guess you could say she got a little-fingered) and ned got the maid. Feudal sexism is pretty neat
@@lethanhminh8001 That's also true. Originally kat WAS supposed to be with brandon, but Lysa was always going to Jon because she got prego and was no longer pure.
@@mistermonologue2442 who knocked her up and were is that kid I only watch the show never read the books does she have another kid beside Robin thats his name right Jon's son
Imagine an Assassin's Creed style video game where you get to play the Bravosi sellsword, Baelish, and gradually earn a small plot of land for you to raise your family while you go about participating in wars and working as a sellsword for the various houses of the vale. Even if you only got to explore the vale, parts of the north and riverlands.. imagine the lore opportunities and massive overworld, let alone setting up Petyr Baelish as a child/teenager and his rise to the character he becomes in the books/show. I'd play the shit out of that.
Just played through Valhalla and man that would be such a cool game. The Vale might not be the most interesting but I’ll be damned if it isn’t the prettiest.
One of my favourite chapters in game of thrones was when they were trekking up the castle eryie. The sky cells and how each cell has a steeper slant to death depending on the crime. And of course the moon door. The vale is one of my favorite kingdoms.. its magical in its own right and i love how its never been taken over. Except when the Targaryens and thier dragons gave em no choice but to kneel. Yep.. awesome reading.
well, the Arryns actually yielded peacefully after Visenya took the young lord on a dragonride. they didn't give them "no choice but to kneel"... And if you mean to tell me that they couldn't have resisted the Targaryens, I'll remind you that Dorne lasted more than 150 years and was not conquered by warfare or the threat of warfare, but by diplomacy.
Actually the 3 waycastles are between the Gates of the Moon and the Eryie, not after the Bloody Gate. The Bloody Gate opens up to the Vale of Arryn, a great fertile valley with farming fields, distantly surrounded by mountains. You have to cross the valley to get to the foot of the Giant's Lance (Gates of the Moon).
Great point, since the fertile land within the Vale is what makes it such an impregnable Kingdom. Unlike the other Great Seats of Houses, The Eyrie has an ample supply of food within their a mountainous landscape.
I think that the long night cold weather and snow spreads in the same way in any area because of its magic. And i think that nobody cant hide from it even on islands or in Essos
The Neck or just south of it would be most effective in battling wights as they can’t cross water and the NK evidently can’t make water freeze as we observed in S7 at the Fist of the First Men. Though, we’re all confident the show left out something that we’re going to get in the book. There’s a reason winter fell in Winterfell.
I read A Game of Thrones and I think the Moon Door in the book was placed in one side of this big hall at the Eyrie, but in the series they changed it to the floor for the battle between Bronn and ser Vardis Egen.
Also, the Sky Cells where Tyrion is kept, is said to have slanted floors, angled towards the drop! So it's also psychologically abusive since the prisoners can't even rest, for fear they might roll over in their sleep and plummet off the side.
Vale existed hundreds of years before the targaryen conquest, that's why it's called "King's Landing", because it's where Aegon I the conqueror landed.
Petyr Balish is the best role in GOT He's directly or indirectly directed every happenings in the show. No matter how hated he is. He's the most impressive character for me
Nettles did not abandon the war “Dance of the Dragons”. Rhaenyra wanted her head since she no longer trusted the dragonseeds and heard rumors that Nettles and Daemon were intimate. So Daemon told Nettles, and they said their goodbyes... It really would have been interesting if Nettles had got pregnant, and one of her descendants could’ve been the “third dragon” as Maester Aemon of the Nights Watch, said there must be 3. Jon+Danaerys +Nettles descendant!
If I'm not wrong there are few dragons who survived that Dance of the Dragons and with the now airing House of the Dragon imagine in the final episode where we get to see an epilouge showing a lonely Drogon somewhere in Westeros meeting other dragons who descended from the surviving dragons I've mentioned.
Don’t you think it’s a stretch to consider a person who would have been born 140? years before Jon(Aegon VI) and Daeny, to be whatever 3rd dragon? Give that some thought please.
This is my high until the show comes out, always love learning new stuff about the show. Great videos ! 👌 I binge watched all the other videos, love your work!❤
Your research and presentation are absolutely superb. Love coming across such quality content! Definite sub, I haven't checked your other possible series so maybe its there, but I would LOVE if it if you explored The Lord of The Rings lore/map!
One of my favourite bits of asoiaf history is that Ed from the nights watch, his ancestor fought in the battle of the seven stars, he was this big dude who fought bear chested with a Seven pointed star carved into his chest with an ax in each hand! About as far from Ed as it could get!
Thanks for doing these. I'm gradually working my way through them and not doing them in any kind of order. I came to Game of Thrones in the last year or so through RU-vid videos where I liked some of the characters like Arya and The Hound and eventually bought the DVD's up to season 7. The problem I had viewing them was that there is just so much to his world that I was fairly lost much of the time as to who was who and what was where. So now - I'm getting a feeling for where these places are and their significance to each other before viewing the series again. The Characters in the Series all know who each other is, what the history is of where they each come from and relate based on that. On reviewing it - hopefully this time I'll have a little bit better understanding. Of course - I could have read the books but ... that's probably not going to happen. I've got to long a list to get to as it is. .
@@toomanyaccounts yes, but Robert Arryn is clearly also Littlefinger's son. 1. All of Jon Arryn's children were misscariages or died young. 2. Robert Arryn is sickly, while Jon Arryn was supposedly strong. 3. Lysa was having an affair with Petyr at the time.
Please dear lord, i'm sure there is some other topic to talk about. this show is what i look forward to every week. I'll get you a dragon if you keep making GoT videos
These (and all your ASOIAF videos) are awesome. As a non-reader, does most of this kind of lore come from details in the main series or more so from the companion novels/histories? The universe GRRM has created is so immensely detailed and these videos help bring the world to life even more!
I know this video is a bit old but with all the new theories about shadows (the wall, stannis, Asshi in general) it could be neat to get a shadowcat is darrio video.
The Vale is like Switzerland, Riverland is like Poland, Westernland is like California mixed with England, Reach is like France, Stormland is like Wales, Dorne is like when Muslim ruled Spain.
I agree too. I think the riverlands could also be a bit like the Baltic countries. Skagos is a bit like the faroe islands. But the vale being like Switzerland, Stormland being like Wales and Dorne being like Muslim Spain is really bang on accurate. Also the Reach has clearly taken a lot of influence from France.
I was wondering if you where ever going do a thing for remly rainbow guard or Robb stark guard members and stannis kingsguard if he had one or was stannis balls so big he needed no guard since he was stannis the mannis the true king of the iron throne
I still wonder where are the cities were normal people live in the kingdoms of the 7 kingdoms, besides from kingslanding that we saw normal people living there I haven't seen that in winterfell, the Vale, or any other kingdom... Just powerful houses, so only rich/powerful people live there?
Talking about cities, there is Gulltown in The Vale, Lanisport in the Westerlands, White Harbor in the North and Oldtown in The Reach. Besides that, there are hundreds of towns and villages in Westeros.
Edson Marlon in the medieval period in the real world the overwhelming majority of people lived in small villages an owed feilty to a knight that lived in the manor of the village and was in charge of it.
good video however your map of the vale lands goes way too far west. doesnt run along the trident otherwise the eastern part of the twins would be in the vale. where the trident meets the sea it goes up diagonal at 75° angle roughly leaving a wide equal strip along the trident. if you look where the most east branch of the trident is, where that splits in to two is the boundary, use that and draw a line diagnol equal distance away from the longest stretch north of the trident. hope you get roughly the idea. cool vid and everything else content wise is spot on
If you want to say that the Moon Door is on the floor, you might want to take the ASOIAF tag off your videos, because that isn't where that door is, it's a normal large door that opens out the side of the castle, so that the MOONLIGHT can come in.
Insert *THANK YOU!* gif here @Troll Master Than he should've distinguished the difference between the books and show, as he has done many times. The show put it in the floor to be more dramatic, but it's always been in the side of the castle.
I agree. Since the Targs were deposed, Gendry would be the correct heir if he were to be legitimized. I hope the story would at least respect that happening.
