The Summer Isles, Place Where Love Must be Shared | Distant Lands of the Known World of GoT

[@charlieslenderpants1432]

Who else thinks that at this point GRRM should just have a novella dedicated to a different character from each major part of Planetos??? I'd love to see the characters he'd come up with.

[@davidmelgar1197]

The Summer Isles seem to be an interesting mix of Swahili, West African, and Carribean cultures. I wonder if the more southern islands are more politically/culturally seperate? It's odd they're so unknown if so many Summer Islander traders travel abroad; makes me think the only ones that do engage in such trade are the northern isles that we actually know about. The Isle of Women being Rhoynish to this day is fascinating. I wonder how much intermarriage/cultural fusion has happened and if they have any continuing relationship with Dorne?

[@GullibleTarget]

Very interesting indeed. I wonder if we ever get to meet a brown character who isn't a former slave, pirate, eunuch or, conman.

[@thefiremaster112]

I was thinking it's more like Indonesia and Hawaii, not the carribean (that being the basilisk isles, full of pirates and disease)

[@joeycash9739]

@@thefiremaster112 Hawaii is full of diseases?

[@thefiremaster112]

no, the basilisk isles @@joeycash9739

[@RaizanMedia]

@@GullibleTarget You met several brown characters that aren't anything that you mentioned. You saw entire cities filled with them in the show and in the books.

[@charlieslenderpants1432]

I hope GRRM draws more inspiration from Congolese and Nilotic tribes for one or two major Civilizations in the jungles of Sothoryos, and DEFINITELY gotta incorporate some more of the Black Stone Architecture and Lore somewhere in there, too. Can't wait to see what's in store.

[@allistertenpenny6871]

The answer to where the black people are in Game of Thrones

[@adrianaslund8605]

Tall men of Essos are also black.

[@razatiger22]

I think even Sothoryos are black as well, just more savage people. The Summer Islands are meant to be more of a nod to the Caribbean and I think Sothoryos is supposed to be Africa.

[@luizmenezes9971]

It wouldn't hurt to place some Summer Islanders on Velaryon's family tree.

[@charlieslenderpants1432]

I love the Summer Isles, but is nobody else alarmed at the freaky Butterfly Sickness native to Naath????

[@grandmaster2063]

It only affects invaders. Many nations would of prospered from this freaky butterfly sickness in reality.

[@muddywater6912]

your narration keeps getting better, keep up the good work I love your videos

[@ScrivaTV]

Thank you!

[@killlamas57]

It really has

[@taotaostrong]

I'm totally from the Summer Isles. 💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿👸🏾

[@taotaostrong]

Carlos Saraiva Caught it. Thanks. 😉

[@killlamas57]

My favorite part of the Known World. I believe they have mapped most of Sothoryos but have kept it secret all these years to protect the peaceful inhabitants of the lands from the psychotic Westerosi and Essosi.

[@ethanwall2443]

Shady Tyrell probably mostly the Essosi I mean the westerosi agree with the summer islands on slavery

[@killlamas57]

Tiger Claw252 The Westerosi are conquerors. They've been conquered four times. They will try to conquer Sothoryos too.

[@killlamas57]

A Hoss yes it is full of jungle and animals but who is to say that there aren't civilizations hidden down there? The people of the Known World know very very little of Planetos itself. The current map may not even be accurate. The dragon daughter who rode south could have been keeping a secret or she was just plainly wrong.

[@timpyrules]

that just believing what you want to believe with no reference to the lore

[@charlieslenderpants1432]

Imperialist Westerosi, but yeah. and those Brindled Men sound fuckin dope.

[@GullibleTarget]

Your accent is EVERYTHING! It sounds slavic/nordic

[@ScrivaTV]

Thanks! -Cause it is =)

[@GullibleTarget]

@@ScrivaTV it gives the names of the fictional cities an authentic sound. As if you are a travelguide from Essos. Don't change it.👍🏼

[@MiguelLopez-yc2rh]

I wished Westeros wars or conflicts were resolved as pacificaly and simple as Summer Islands conflicts. There wouldn't be such a huge bloodsheed.

[@christianvennemann9008]

Sounds like my kinda place!!!

[@seekingknowledge6439]

The videos you make are awesome and addictive to watch. Great job brother 👍

[@zamary4737]

Summer Isles is probably heavily inspired by the history of the Philippines. The shape alone is enough for me to be convinced it has some truth to it.

[@Drakkonemus]

A Summer Voyage novella needs to come out with the different Isles from a POV followed up with a journey to Sorthoryos. Somebody send a Raven to Arya

[@beastoned8596]

Great vid! Thx 4 all ur hard work!!

[@ScrivaTV]

Enjoy!

[@historycenter4011]

League = 3 miles

[@nhaaaPl]

Great video as always. One of the more fun places on planetos.

[@dominiqueodom3099]

My favorite fact about the Summer Isles is their relationship with Valryian Empire being established at the early beginning of Valryia's reign. Before they become a superpower known to the world they had to make alliances. And I just keep imagining a little Valryian girl looking at a Panther cub and begging her dad or mom for one.

[@davidcorruthers78]

Yeah imagine that you have a over grown fire breathing lizard but it’s the panther cub that you want 😂😂😂

[@zirdivine943]

Would explain why most velryians are black in House of Dragons

[@scott_mooney15_17]

Sothoyos next. Great. Video

[@1101millie97]

Alright, I am moving to the Summer Isles.....

[@ncszy]

Which book does it mention other areas of planets? As far as I could see, the books only talk about westerns and essos.

[@bradbarker4041]

The World of Ice and Fire

[@bogdan.md01]

How can I dowload this map? This map is the best one I've seen about the entire known world.

[@josephnarvaez9507]

Dumitrescu Bogdan it's from the world ofice and fire

[@bogdan.md01]

Joseph Narvaez i know it is , but i couldn't find it anywhere.

[@MrKIMBO345]

Are the geography based on Indonesia or Philippines?

[@squamish4244]

I would say the Summer Isles are based on Polynesia in both geography and culture. There are many similarities, including the more relaxed attitude towards sex.

[@xa25ja]

The Caribbean islands

[@Someone2aswell]

More so medieval Africa

[@KTChamberlain]

I wonder if deadly Jellyfish inhabit the waters off the Summer Isles.

[@nikofloros]

[@k1ng757]

am i the only one who tought that its the summer isles from skyrim? i know the map is different but i click it out of curiosity lol

[@ScrivaTV]

At some point this channel might bring up some Skyrim lore vids as well.

[@k1ng757]

i just watch your video and its amazing, im learning a lot from this video, im also a got fan and i hope you do some skyrim lore too if possible the entire elderscroll world

[@ScrivaTV]

Thank you! At some point, I believe, I'll start working on that. Enjoy the videos!

I just want Dan and Dave to stop.

[@ka-boom2083]

Man, Daenerys and Viserys should’ve kidnapped Jon and just take their dragons to invade summer isles instead of fighting Westeros. Repopulate the Targaryen population, a safe island territory, rebuild the empire. Summer Isle is rich in gems, spices, hard woods, and tropical animals too?

[@milanfan81]

Lowkey you sound like a Martell :)

[@Brandonhayhew]

The Summer islanders shouldn't be like this they should be like their real life counterpart, like African civilization like kingdom of askum and Mali empire, moorish?

[@DaUtubaA]

It doesn't necessarily have to mirror the real world. Like Valyria for example, even though its loosely based on the Roman Empire the Valyrians and their culture are unlike anything on earth.

[@HsienKoMeiLingFormerYANG]

books from Windblown So-called 'moorish' ain’t really African (un)-civilization but Arabization Berber civilization based in North Africa.

[@WilliamGarrow]

Maybe they are based on the Swahlli Civilization.

[@grandmaster2063]

Navi, The Real Fairies Queen Former YANG. You’re quite wrong. Widely the term “Moor” was simply a term used to describe a person of dark skin throughout mainland Europe. The Spaniards originally referred to these Africans as Moors because they came from Morocco. The modern day berbers you speak of are not the same inhabitants of North Africa previous to the 1400s nor had they been the considered the majority up until the late 1800s. Moroccans left Africa to conquer parts is Spain for 800 years so by the time they were forced back to Morocco , most of them were mixed. So what you see their today is a result of that mixture as well as massive influx of euro-Arabs or descendants of the Ottomans/Turks who came centuries later. Arab is not a race, simply a culture spawning out of the Arabian Peninsula that spread from the Middle East in to east, north and west Africa and eventually in to parts of Europe. Not sure if you travel but Europeans keep the true original moorish identity very much in tact! Wether it be certain-works of art such as statues, pendants, painting, historical or religious propaganda, and even in celebration. As a matter of fact, they host a Parade in Alcoy Spain during the month of January known as The festival of Moors and Christians where the Spaniards dress up as Africans or “moors” (painted in total black face) re-enacting their history of the moors fighting the christians. Moorish is very much so African civilization and hardly anything else up until the 1400’s. Sundiata, Mansa Musa, Abu Bkr ll were all west African and all considered as Moors to the western world as it is a western term. Also, it may worth mentioning that up until the 13th century many inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula couldn’t be told apart from your modern day “black” person up until the 15th century where that feature would dwindle down. To find evidence of these people look no further than than the indigenous Mahra Arabs. There is a great confusion in these historical matters due to mass migrations of Europeans and eventually the white washing of history during the late 1700’s up until this very day courteous of western conquest.

[@blenshanegro3260]

Grand Master Malians are very much not moors. And those paintings are inaccurate. While both blacks and whites made up parts of the moors the majority were like modern day berbers.
