Either this far north it was simply far to cold for the ice to melt, or there was no sea route and, as some maesters have since concluded, the continent of Westeros continues under the snow and ice right up to the north pole and maybe into the opposing hemisphere. In the height of summer, the sun never set.Ĭorlys could find no trace of a sea route through the Lands of Always Winter.

The distance is vast and daunting, however, and the dangers of being killed on the vasest, open ocean immense. It has been known that the world is round, and that if you sail far enough across the Sunset Sea you should come to the far eastern coasts of Essos and, then following them, make your way back to Westeros. In red is his journey to the rich kingdoms and cities of the Jade Sea, which made him for a time the wealthiest man in Westeros.

We can hunt/find special animals, obtain special items and souvenirs, travel and visit places and do whatever we manage to think of, and generally cause some chaos vibes.
