ASOIAF: Disputed Lands (Focus Series)

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

My love for this channel knows no bounds!

[@jamesallen1816]

I'm so glad you do videos like this. sometimes the books can be hard to keep up with. Great quality as well.

[@corlysvelaryon3253]

Great video! Seems to me like the Lyseni admiral was Sharako Lohar & his rival was Lysandro Rogare, & it wasn't just over Johanna Swann (who went on to rule Lys in all but name through her association with the Rogare family & their Bank), but also custody of Prince Viserys. And Racallio Ryndoon buggered off to the Stepstones with much of Tyrosh's remaining naval strength, to become a pirate, before getting an Oakenfist clout in the ear.

[@SeptaShaenasSapphires]

You are a man of some knowledge.

[@corlysvelaryon3253]

Why thanks.

[@dawsonparadise7132]

Love your videos, would love to see some videos on Brandon Sanderson's work.

[@tejmazwei]

Dawson Loenichen yeah that would be cool

[@jonastopp-mugglestone557]

yes!!

[@BenSmith-od8fc]

can you do a video of the five forts of Yi ti or stygai? Wish I could find out more about both but there seems little about either of them

[@corlysvelaryon3253]

I'm interested to see CivEx's take on the GEotD.

[@aamirrazak3467]

Corlys Velaryon I second this the GEOTD sounds really interesting an significant, like a proto Valyria w out the slavery and blood magic

[@aamirrazak3467]

The five forts would be a great video topic

[@jamesporte55]

Lucifer means Lightbringer does some cool videos on the great empire of the dawn

[@melkorthefirstdarklord1180]

Where can you find a lion in the known world considering it is the sigil of House Lannister

[@melkorthefirstdarklord1180]

Corlys Velaryon Thanks, I should have thought to google it myself

[@davidking6242]

oh and in the dothraki sea too

[@zakariaali8864]

In the Westerlands. Their magical variants (similar to wolves and direwolves) are probably extinct, as mentioned by the child of the forest (forgot her name) when she told Bran how there was no more place in the world for the original magical inhabitants of Westeros.

[@silasnai2290]

I had this question too. Lions probably crossed the arm of Dorne or were brought over from parts of Essos or the summer isles. European countries used lions on their sigils so a medieval fantasy lord would probably find them sick too.

[@nicklion6585]

They are found in the westerlands in the hills

[@roxasfrevr]

Always hard to find information on the disputed lands and the stepstones. I always watch your ASOIAF content, thank you.

[@TheStronggeek]

love your videos adds a lot of small details and connecting the dots in this massive and complex lore :D

[@FreePeoplesMovement]

I remember when I subscribed to this channel. it only had 2000

[@wingninjagaming]

you should do some skyrim/tamriel history videos.

[@arawn1061]

William Thorneycroft its called 'The Elder scrolls'. Noob

[@servantofallah1698]

Great fucking video!!! Cheers :D

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Great video, more.

[@generalbutton]

I've said it once and I'll say it again. How does George R.R Martin come up with this all?

[@YinYangLogo]

A lot of the story is based off of British History. Hell even the map is based off of the UK. But I agree that this stuff is VERY extensive, though he has had a lot of time to develop the stories.

[@Luclv]

It's based on real world conflicts and politics, the Italian City-States really comes to mind. Fiction is based off reality, the middle ages are a really fertile chunk of history to dig in for inspiration. The parallels are many. We can even make a comparison to the Fall of Rome when we talk about the Doom of Valyria.

[@MrMarinus18]

time.

[@Conorp77]

Dude let me spell it out for you First Men = Celts/Romans The Wall = Hadrians Wall Andals = Anglo Saxons 7 Andal Kingdoms = 7 Anglo Saxon Kingdoms Aegon the Conqueror = William the Conqueror and as you say, War of the Roses, Richard Duke of York attempting to seize the crown from Henry VI 'The Mad King' (and as some one above me mentioned, Valyria and it's similarity to Rome both geographically and in terms of power/influence. How did you not see this? It's literally from Martin's own mouth too that Britain and it's relationship with Europe/Asia is his main source of historical inspiration, with the obvious inclusion of high stakes fantasy elements.

[@HebrewsElevenTwentyFive]

Nice video!

[@petterivarsson4980]

I just Wanna say youre a legend you have explained so much for me in LOTR. But I have a question what's the between Maiar and ainur?

[@CivilizationEx]

Thank you! And to answer your question there is no difference. Ainur is the name of their species, before the creation of the world, the Ainur lived with god in the timeless halls. But then when the world was created, some the Ainur went into the world. Those that were most powerful became known as the Valar. While those of less power were called the Maiar. So they are all of the species Ainur, but they were divided into 2 classes when they came into the world. :)

[@petterivarsson4980]

CivilizationEx thanks man!

[@theblackcross8932]

will there ever be a LOTR video again?i subbed for those but i do not see any in months

[@CivilizationEx]

December and January are for Star Wars vids (and a couple ASOIAF) but starting in February I will go back to LOTR and others. Probably 1 LOTR a month.

[@eitkoml]

He said that it takes him roughly 40 hours on average to make each video.

[@Sorrywhodis]

CivilizationEx what's the name of the soundtrack playing in the background mate ?

[@dtt1900]

Great video, thanks for all the work, you have a great voice, I have a question a little off topic... What about "the Old Bear's" crow? I think there is something about the "mocking Crow", could Cold Hands, a Wildling or a "child of the forest", one of the "White Walkers" wag in to the crow? The crow seems to be around when things happen and it seems to be just coincidence, but isn't that the behavior of a hero or spy? I think there is something there, small but important.

[@armyofninjas9055]

dtt1900 I think he's the half hand. I don't think he's asking for "corn."

[@sernoddicusthegallant6986]

you should totally do videos on the malazan universe if you ever read them, the only fantasy ive read to rival tolkien in its depth of lore

[@Kunumbah1]

SerNoddicusTheGallant I attempted to read Mazalan and I got stumped by the 4th page...

[@nightknight8667]

can you do the grasslands of essos

[@tihomir996]

Nice!

[@Kunumbah1]

If you guys could live anywhere in the Asoiaf universe where would you live? I'd probably live somewhere in Oldtown.

[@dagassmith1622]

I'd live in Oldtown, Arbor, or maybe Highgarden. My God is the Reach a real estate hotspot

[@madijeis4320]

Probably because it's the biggest food producer of Westeros, meaning that food probably is cheaper than anywhere else, and the fact that the most recent battle fought in the Reach was the battle of Ashford, that is even on the border. Basically, you won't die quickly and violently there.

[@ecksdee8021]

i wouid like to live in the westerlands

[@davidking6242]

i would not wanna live in westeros at all (maybe dorne as the exception). probably the summer isles or qarth or lys

[@Kunumbah1]

kwadwo baidoo So you would want to live in Qarth which is currently being sacked by Various dothrahki hordes? Or The summer isles where the princes sell their people into slavery and are constantly warring with one another? Dorne sounds pretty cool but I feel like it'd be hard fitting in other kingdoms. Lys sounds like paradise if you have enough money.

[@77ziomek45]

If you're gonna be a patron for your name to appear at the end of the video, can't u think of a better name than ,,Tony of House Jake''? lol

[@baabaaer]

Tunggang Nyo Langgang.

[@minatodroger7890]

nice although if the land is wasted now I do wonder why they still fight over it hmm. I hope you can Dora video on the century of blood

[@minatodroger7890]

No i know that much but is it even farmable agfter all those wars fought in it? I mean other than tthe land itself whats is special about it that they must fight for 400 years for it

[@corlysvelaryon3253]

The Disputed Lands aren't wasted. There would be no logic to fighting over them if they were. They're extremely arable lands, it's just all the warring means they don't have the stability to output as much as they could. racefortheironthrone.tumblr.com/post/153474415876/maester-steven-regarding-the-free-cities-how-do

[@Stalkman13]

real recognizes real

[@ThomasK96]

does anyone else want civilization EX to make a redwall video?

[@davidking6242]

i remember that show/book series!!!

[@ThomasK96]

kwadwo baidoo I love the books I hate the TV show no offense

[@davidking6242]

Thomas K96 none taken. its so nostalgic though

[@ThomasK96]

kwadwo baidoo your right watching the show without having any knowledge of the books will be pretty entertaining

[@UniversalPotentate]

Can you do a run down of the 2016 Presidential campaign?

[@CivilizationEx]

I can't think of anything I would want to do less lol.

[@aidanrajput6262]

do a video about the 9 penny kings

[@puchy110]

I'd like to see a focus series on the Dothraki. They've always fascinated me.

[@solomonta1369]

can you do a harry potter universe video??

[@wulozhiro1316]

well struck Lord X

[@daemonblackfyre3238]

Robert Jordan someday? AWoT?

[@Normthemmafighter]

I see you do your own drawings, huh

[@dutchvanderlinde5004]

[@Melleina]
