Fun fact: Here in Germany, there is the North Sea Island of Föhr, and it's main town is called Wyk, too. And guess what: The part of the German coast around Föhr was drowned in a storm surge in the 14th century, and what used to be part of the mainland became fractured and only islands like Föhr remained. Just google (Second) Saint Marcellus's Flood or Rungholt, the "Atlantis of the North Sea"! :)

Maybe Grrm was inspired by this. Just like he used the German word Stark which means strong when translated to English.

Like how other southern houses like the Manderlys and Brackens migrated north.

I belief that the seastone chair was a sacrificial altar, of which the ironborn have forgotten it's function. Fits with the whole blood calling krakens from the deep thing going on in the story. Also it is deliberately called a chair, not a throne. Chair comes from cathedra, also the root word for cathedral, so a holy seat. The Lord Reaper sits on the sacrificial slab of the chair. This does fit in with theories that link blood magic/sacrifice and the oily black stone.

Great vid. I think the ironborn took the drown god after their journey to westoros traumatized them, with mass death by starvation and drowning at sea, a worship of the tides as giver and taker of life. Which is why what is dead may never die, a lot of them drowned and they washed ashore, like patchface, where they found the seastone chair, which made the washing ashore seem destined or a gift from their drowned god.

The last section's title "Cosmic Starfish and the Deep One Flavored Water" almost redeemed the existence of Fred Durst's career. Almost. I really enjoyed this video. I would love if the oily black stone is a combination of cosmic origin, arcane eldritch practices, and maybe even some good old human sacrifice. Blood drying black, caked over time, having a greasy consistency from human fat and blood letting over the stones, baked in with salt and flame...like the world's worst cast iron pan. Cast ironborn.

I'm working on an embroidered map of Westeros rn, and the first thing I noticed about Wyk after I got it drawn on the fabric was that looks like a caldera. I was hoping you'd address it in this video. maybe the kraken or Deep Ones like to hang out in the heat from geothermal vents, or get stirred up to the surface by underwater eruptions?
@burtan2000 Жыл бұрын
I was just thinking the SAME thing!! It has to be a caldera. Clearly the ironborn archipelago has gone thru some violent tectonic actions. Makes sense that Pyke was once more complete, and some parts have since fallen into the sea. How much has fallen? This is far enough removed that an earthquake and tsunami at the Arm of Dorne wouldn't greatly affect it. (I doubt it would the Arm event would greatly impact even the Neck; it requires more than one turn and tsunamis don't do that.)

@burtan2000 I'm also struck by the phrase "boiling blood-red sea" from the Forsaken teaser chapter. if the Valyrians kept the 14 Flames under control with sorcery (blood magic?) and the mass sacrifice/murder of the mages resulted in the eruption of those volcanoes, could another sacrifice of priests unleash the old volcano under the Iron Islands? or if the Deep Ones are awakened by a massive sea battle, would that cause an eruption? maybe the volcano is/was a prison? of course, I could be thinking too deep and speaking out of my ass, but I think I'll contemplate it some more.

My theory is that the iron islands weren't islands, but all one solid chunk of land at one point. Similar to Valyria. Large volcanic eruptions are often paired with subsidence of the land around after as the pool of magma below shrinks, near a coastline this can mean sinking the land. All I know is something bad likes making islands.

Honestly since I've begun doing the Xothic Legend Cycle, where island nations like Indonesia, Micronesia, Hawaii and so on are all remains of a sunken continent in the Pacific, the idea of all these weird islands in ASOIAF once being parts of larger landmasses that got flooded start making more and more sense. Iron Islands, Thousand Islands, the Neck all seem like they were once connected to their resprctive mainlands and bigger, much like the Stepstones. Then for good measure George throws in the opposite like the Silver Sea receding and becoming the Great Grass Sea or the widespread desertification out East resulting in the Great Sand Sea and the Grey Waste. Climate change seems to be a huge focal point in the story with both massive flooding in some areas and massive drought in others, much like in the real world.

Great video, it’s fun seeing updates to earlier theories. I’m happy you gave a fair shake to Volcano Wyk, even though it doesn’t fit as neatly with your unifying moon meteor theory. Basilisk Isles also have a suspiciously caldera-shaped island, so that could be where the Toad Stone came from. Naath looks like a caldera (but also like a sickle 🦋💀), Marahai seems like a big one. Maybe even Lys? Some speculation: moon meteors that fall in the sea incite volcanoes, but aren’t destroyed by the lava, so are just sitting there on the caldera afterwards Or the volcano summoning is done by the deep ones underwater, powered by the moon meteor, as an attack against the weirwoods, their rivals in human-farming. They could have carved it underwater as part of the ritual

In addition to your really creative theories from your close-reading, you also always make these very astute observations that hold up even if I may not follow you the whole way on your greater theory. The observation that the "weird" First Men houses of Westeros (people who clearly pre-date the Andals, but didn't seem to have what we've been shown as classic First Men culture or appearance; ie. Dayne, Hightower, Lannister, the Ironborn) are geographically located where you'd expect people who came to Westeros by sea when the Arm of Dorne was still intact -- and thus solidifying that "First Men" probably encompasses 2-3+ different ethnic groups -- is such a good one. It's one of those things I never noticed, but which is very obvious once you pointed it out.
