This map is created from the perspective of a Maester of Oldtown, and details on the far side of the world are filled in with more guesswork than perfect knowledge. The details get sparser as you travel further east, not because of a lack of people – Yi Ti is replete with rich farmed land – but due to sparsity of knowledge. Those distant lands include Asshai, in the Land under Shadow, with the mysterious and luminous ghost grass, as well as Carcosa, and Leng – both Lovecraft references that make it into Game of Thrones on the very edge of the world. The entire world map of Game of Thrones stretches past the Bone Mountains that divide Essos down the middle, over to the far East. The Known World – The first entire map of Game of Thrones The Known World from Westeros to far Asshai Warning – the last map contains spoilers as it shows the character journeys up to the end of A Dance With Dragons.

Each map is 3 feet by 2 feet in size, 72 square feet of maps in total. In 2012 I was commissioned to illustrate the official maps of Westeros and Essos for the world of Game of Thrones. They were created for Random House, from the hand drawn maps of George RR Martin, They are canon – and the only maps to cover the east of Essos, including everything from Qarth to Asshai. These are the official maps of Game of Thrones, created for The Lands of Ice and Fire.
