Jesus, Cercei. Did you comprehend anything about what I wrote? The vegetation also isn't true to London, and also, where are all the bowler hats, gin drinks, and umbrellas?

Why, do you suppose, the NHS isn't in full effect in GoT?

In unrelated news, Volaria (which I assume is Paris) never had dragons. WTF, George? And while we're at it, why isn't the royal court speaking high Valyrian. And why doesn't Old Town speak Ghis? And where the Christ is Shakespeare?

Spoiler for Where are all these things GRRM?:

Oh wait a minute, its ****ing fiction

This is the best post in the entire thread

Also I was watching s3 again with the special features on, and it says Dorne is the desert region

Do white ppl normally live in desert regions? I mean it's fantasy, why not make it more diverse?

BTW Valyria is an old country that is uninhabited, Brennan, but High Valyrian is still spoken, and a lot of the other languages aside from the Common Tongue are derived from High Valyrian.

P sure that's not a spoiler since in book 1 in Vaes Dothrak Daenerys sees a painting I think? in Drogo's manse depicting the Doom of Valyria, which is some kind of catastrophe that made it rain fire over it or something.

The show and book have never been solidly grounded in the real world though.

Well, I appreciate you coming to my aid and backing up the exact point I was trying to make.
