The Complete History of House of the Dragon Explained on a Map

There is a single point on the map of Westeros — a small volcanic island in Blackwater Bay — from which the conquest of an entire continent began and, one hundred and thirty years later, the war that tore it apart. Between Dragonstone and King’s Landing, there are only 80 kilometers of water: close enough to see one another on a clear day, and too close for two crowns to coexist. In this video, we follow the geography of the Dance of the Dragons from beginning to end: why Harrenhal still matters a century after it melted, how the Vale and the North entered the war on the back of a dragon, and why every army eventually ends up marching toward the same place. Every castle, every island, and every road has a reason for being where it is — and the map explains what the biased chronicles never told us.
