I wanna read about the re-conquest and resettlement of old Valyria once they work out that Volcanic activity generally brings all sorts of valuable minerals to the surface. It is guns and industrial revolution time! Time to do an Imperialism.

I think Valyria is Actually Cursed at this point? That doesn't be necessarily preclude some lord drumming up as much underpaid smallfolk or slave manpower as he can get to feed them to the cursed meat grinder, I supposed.

It always bugged me that Westeros is clearly based on Britain and the Wars of the Roses, but the characters act like Westeros is an entire continent and deeply isolated and leaving it is completely unthinkable and the entire rest of the world is too distant and different to survive in. Even in the 15th century that was very much not how England related to the rest of the world and it clearly isn't in Asoiaf canon either, and yet the plot depends on characters acting like it is.

[(Anonymous)]

Huh? I don't think characters act like that. People do leave for many of the same historical reasons: trade, exile, fleeing for political or personal reasons, exploration, to make their fortune, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

Totally agree! I want to know about Sothoryos, all the island chains, Ibben, Old Valyria......maybe some of that's explained in Fire & Blood or A World of Ice & Fire, idk. Both have been on my TBR pile but don't know if I'll ever get to them since that 'verse is a low priority for me now.

I would love GRRM to explore Essos (and Sothoryos) more, but everywhere in Essos except Bravos and too few other places have so much slavery that I feel sick reading about it. I could stand reading about Daenerys fighting slavery in her chapters, but it's still painful. Even the Ironborn treat their slaves (yeah, yeah, I know: "thralls") better, and that's a really sad thing to say.

The rest of the ASoIAF setting is actually really cool and really creepy in places, especially old Valyria and it'd be amazing to have something focus more on other places. But it always ends up in Westeros and as you've said: it's the most boring part of the whole setting, lol.
