Have you ever wondered where your favorite spot in Game of Thrones is located in comparison to other famous landmarks in the world of Westeros and Essos? Well, thanks to the folks at Quarter Maester, you won’t have to wonder anymore as the Maesters running the site have put together a very neat interactive map of Westeros and Essos. The interactive map, found here, was built through Google Maps and allows Game of Thrones fans to zoom in and out on particular areas of interest.
"Map of Westeros and Essos"
Game of Thrones fans using the map can click on a particular character, from the sidebar, and then follow that character’s movements throughout the story. For instance, if one were to choose Ned Stark, a pin would be dropped in Winterfell, and after using the slider on the sidebar, Lord Stark’s pin becomes a skull in King’s Landing. Clever, that.
In case you are an Unsullied and are concerned about spoilers, the map has a fix for that. The team at Quarter Maester made sure to include notes on cities that have been heavily explored, as well as notes on areas that haven’t been explored at all. Fans also have the option to set parameters on what information will be shown on the map and if that fan is not fully caught up with the series, then those areas will remain hidden until they are up to that point.
This map really is a fun way to help pass the time during the long wait from the end of Season 6 to the premiere of Season 7, and hey, even the most diehard of Game of Thrones fans might learn a thing or two about George R.R. Martin’s rich and developed world.
