The Westeros Map
I got pulled into an interactive map of Westeros last night. There’s something about seeing a fictional world laid out geographically—the kind of thing that takes five minutes and turns into an hour. You understand distances and trade routes in a way reading about them doesn’t quite land.
The map has spoiler toggles if you’re still working through the story. I found myself zooming into regions I’d forgotten existed, trying to picture what was supposed to be there, why anyone would go to some of these places. It’s the designer in me—I need to see how the pieces fit together spatially.
