- Here is that crazy map Quinci and I were looking for online at the last meeting. The full speculative map includes everything ever mentioned in the book, with some locations being educated guesses. The canon only map only includes the places shown in the maps given with the books. The map was made before the release of The Lands of Ice and Fire, and George R.R. Martin got a look at this map and said the following:
"This is a very handsome map. And based on the information you have, it's quite good. But of course there's lots of information you don't have, so it's not accurate. There are certain things - the geography and location of the Summer Islands, the placement of Qarth and the Jade Gates, everything east of Slaver's Bay and the Dothraki Sea... that you would have no way of knowing."
Maybe someday this cartographer fellow will update his maps to be more accurate, but for the time being, this is a good resource if you want to look up the location of something obscure. Maybe Chris can add in the comments about what exactly is different about the layout of the east. :)
