Not going to lie, but I did enjoy the Westeros map and how big the planet is.

>The land of always winter is just the North Pole?
Pretty much. Westeros is very likely linked to the northern polar icecap either by land or a massive sheet of ice. Turns out the planet of A song of Ice and Fire is only 8% larger than our own world and the world is a sphere just under 27,000 miles in circumference, meaning that all the lands we know account for just over a quarter of the world’s total surface. Far more lands, maybe even continents larger than Westeros, may lie across the Sunset Sea or beyond Asshai.

His Africa is Sothoryos: jungle continent completely unexplored with horrible monsters and different kinds of ultra-HIV, this is how the inhabitants are described on the wiki:
> Sothoryos men are described as brindle-skinned half-men by Daenerys Targaryen.[8] Their brindled skin is thick, often in patterns of brown and white. They are big-boned and massively muscled, with long arms, sloped foreheads, huge square teeth, heavy jaws and coarse black hair. Their broad, flat noses suggest snouts. Sothoryi women are said to be unable to breed with men from Essos or Westeros, only bringing forth stillbirths or malformed offspring.[7]
>The Sothoryi mostly known to the corsairs of the neighboring Basilisk Isles are those who dwell closest to the sea on the northern shore, who have learned the Trade Talk. The Ghiscari consider them to be slow of wit but fierce fighters that make good slaves. Farther south, the Sothoryi are more savage, known for cannibalism and worshiping dark gods with obscene rites.
