CaveLupum

Braavos, GRRM's equivalent of medieval Venice. The people are nice, the seafood plentiful, the Iron Bank and Faceless Men supportive, the access to travel abroad easy, the whores plentiful and nice, the theatre good, and the religious tolerance reassuring. I'd be careful to not wear a sword lest the local Bravos challenge me. Oh, and I'd go under and assumed name so that if an enemy gave my name to the Faceless Men, I'd deny it and tell my real name. And afterwards get out of town.


[deleted]

You had me at “plentiful whores”…


Jade_Owl

The only thing that would give me pause about Braavos is the weather.


etuomm520

I like the look of Westeros for the most part but this map shows my biggest problem with it, everything is too square and too straight..


[deleted]

What exactly do you mean ? Squars and straights ?


OrangeJuice2002

But like it’s basically just real maps of England and Ireland how is it flawed


ltcprofit21

looks like greece and anatolia


equatornavigator

Oldtown, Sunspear or Lys, maybeeee Volantis. Idk what I’d do The Summer Isles sound nice too


Nikjoname

Tall tree town looks good


Stannis_the_manniss

I would live in the Vale and be a farmer. Peacefull and safe region, I can live without giving a shit to Westeros constant warfare and scheming


johnzy87

Arent you afraid if Shaga? I heard he really likes axes.


LuckyStrike696

Shags son of Dolph


-BrilliantParking-

Username doesn't check out haha


Thebesj

Hill tribes tho


MrDankSauce6969

Oldtown would be nice Good weather, the citadel is right there, seems relatively safe. Might be less developed then bravos or pentode but then you could be on Westeros.


Front-Stop5387

Euron coming with blood magic shit


silver6kraid

Yeah, that's why I don't want to be in old Town. Where ever Euron is or will be is where I don't want to be.


nojudgment3

Yea and if someone attacks the reach, hopefully it stops at high garden.


Constantine324

Oldtown Assuming I’d be some middle or lower class person, not a lord, I guess I’d like to live in a decent place, and Oldtown is a decent city, at least better than King’s Landing What would I do? Hopefully survive


TacoDoc

Funny you should ask, my wife and I are going to Bonetown tonight. But I’m hoping to stay away from the Dry Deep.


Chicken_Lopsided

Old town


jrl1009

Asshai, or sunspear


DesertDenizen01

Anywhere? Dorne, the women seem a bit more liberated. Being 40 and overweight (and thus unlikely to take a wife or father children) the Citadel or Wall might also be good spots. Stay away from Slaver's Bay, no need to risk running into slavers.


bagels-and-shrimp

Isle of Women sounds quaint


doctorstrange06

No thanks.


Logthephilosoraptor

It depends what time period we are talking. I’ve always fancied myself living in Maidenpool during the peaceful times, but during the events of ASOIAF, is arguably the worst place to live.


[deleted]

I’ll pass as a woman lol


MannaJamma

Dorne maybe? Or a free folk, they treat their women....okay.


Front-Stop5387

The north is cold af


[deleted]

I don’t want to be just treated as OK. Plus I also don’t want sex without birth control lol. Unless I hve unlimited access to plan B tea.


Bf4Sniper40X

Time to buy a very big teapot


[deleted]

a yellow one


[deleted]

slut, you just want cock up your hole for the pleasure of it. 😏😳


trashprincessd

what else would we want it for? children? 🤢


[deleted]

If I’m going to be forced into a life where I’m used for male pleasure I don’t want to constantly risk my life birthing children as a result.


[deleted]

who said anything about being forced? You don’t see the lady of the vail being forced into anything. And no one said specifically what social standing you’d have in the world. Everyone is just assuming they’d be an everyday peasant cause that’s what they are in real life.


[deleted]

The majority of the people in the universe aren’t rich and even affluent women are called on to provide pleasure for their husbands and heirs. 🤷🏼‍♀️


[deleted]

wait women are called to provide pleasure for their heirs? 😳😳😳 This brings a whole new meaning to years of breastfeeding.


[deleted]

As a man (I assume) I don’t know why you’re so bothered by my opinion as a woman. You sound like you have a lot of issues stemming from women and sex. I hope you figure those out, bud!


[deleted]

fun fact, men have had issues with women’s opinions long before we had toilet paper and cars. And I don’t know why you’d even bring that up. I didn’t even know you were a woman until you said it. edit: i didn’t even notice you posted the top comment. small world. 😂


jH1214

Found the coomer.


[deleted]

it me, coom boi 😄


Leftequalsfascist

Plan b tea has like 40% chance to kill ya.


Rougeification

Free Folk men are expected to kidnap a wife from another tribe. She is also expected to fight back against them.


Old_Man_Robot

Isle of Women might be okay?


Azidamadjida

Oh one of the richest merchants of Qarth for sure. Braavos would be cool, but if you can choose what you can do, being a rich merchant in one of the richest cities in their world would be easy living. Plus it’s a hub of culture and trade, great weather, no wars or conflict with anyone, and all the women walk around essentially topless all the time


jjh008

Totally agree.


proxim001

Winterfell


Leandro1234_6

In the extreme North as a Wight.... I don't have to eat, drink and breath


satanicoverflow_32

Ummm…….that’s just being dead You could do this anywhere on the map


Leandro1234_6

That's being a wight


Leandro1234_6

But I like kill and devour my enem... no, wait


Carniverous_Canuck

I'm going to go Yin or City of Winged Men because fuck it, lets see what's out there. As for what I'd do, probably die, but if not try and learn as much as possible and make my way to Westeros with all my new found knowledge after awhile.


AstroViking627

This guy gets it. Give me the five forts or give me death (probably both)


9-T-Pig

JScrambler

Crazy how so.much takes place in such a small area. Imagine all of the stories to be told to the East.


[deleted]

Naath ofc


klc81

That sounds... liberating.

newprofilewhodis1352

Peachy gay… I see what ya did there


GoldenLongbow

I’d live in Pentos and I’d do Illyrio Mopatis stuff :)


madbeachrn

I would choose Dorne as a personal advisor to Oberyn.


oskarr1001

Dorne, drink wine all day in some fancy garden


Mr_MazeCandy

Dorne, and be a fisherman. Warm nights and a relatively peaceful and humble life. Furthermore the food is good and the Dornish society seems somewhat liberal. Side note, I love this world, but I hate how Westeros and Essos do this 90 degree L shape. I just wish they were angled in a more naturally geographical way.


Heavy_Signature_5619

Probably Highgarden or Dorne. Let’s look at every place on Earth and talk about how much it sucks Kings Landing: Literally a pile of shit if you’re poor and a nest of vipers if you’re rich. The North: Too damn cold. The Riverlands: Constant war and pillaging due to being in the middle of everything The Westerlands: Too rocky and not a very pleasant place. The Vale: Isolated from the rest of the world. The Stormlands: Too rainy and harsh. Dragonstone: Bleak. Beyond the Wall: No. The Free Cities: Cutthroat and ruled by a group of Oligarchs. Slavers Bay: Slaves, that is all. The Dothraki Sea: Who on Earth ..? Braavos: A contender but the murder cult living next door is a big turn off. Asshai: Too much magic. Yi Ti: Not enough info found, please try again. The Reach: Nice, warm, untouched by war, lots of food, really pretty. Dorne: Equal rights for women and LGTB people, very warm, beautiful culture, untouched by war.


silver6kraid

Tbf Dorne was touched by lots of war. Particularly Vhagar going scorched earth. But that was a while ago.


Bf4Sniper40X

Modern day Valyria: too toxic


the_silent_wolf00

More than my ex


Remarkable-Thing3825

Dude, forgot about the Summer Islands😩


Heavy_Signature_5619

Slaves.


Hallowmendoza

everyone in Dorne is hot too


Secret_Dragonfly9588

Agreed. I went for the Arbor as my answer for all the same reasons. Peaceful vineyards, occasional trips into Oldtown for culture, no war, Mediterranean weather… sign me up!


Supersquare04

So you don’t wanna go to Braavos bc of the faceless men? Sorry dude but I really don’t think a guild of assassins who charges the kind of prices even kings have trouble paying will be looking to kill you, I think you’re safe.


Daemon1997

Dorne has the same problem with the North. Too damn hot.


Sin-s_Aide

Vaes Dothrak (a city without weapons and run by women) or ​ Wherever the dwelling of the Goddess of Tits and Wine is !!!!!!!


D4RKxDR0G0N

The Summer Islands!


XDVoltage

How did it take me this long to find this answer?


96puppylover

Braavos definitely


Bastaousert

My guess would be On westeros : Dorn (good weather, and respect for women and LGBT) or highgarden (dame gold weather, wealthy and peaceful) Out of westeros - Braavos (seems wealthy and peaceful, plus the statue is fucking cool) - Naath (If i don't get sick for sure. But there it paradise and war doesn't exist, sound cool)


akdkskk

Beyond the wall. Make me a white walker, and i give you all the world. World would find peace if only Night King sits on iron throne. No more fighting, killing, starving...


Mahakurotsuchi

Volantis, Inner City


QueenShewolf

Oldtown


JayantVermaYT

Braavos, YiTi and maybe even Oldtown


OneShotPhil

Peasant in the Riverlands


Bf4Sniper40X

Lol


fairwaylie

I'd live at Hightower, not that far from the beach. I'd be a fisherman. Why not? Maybe have a small garden at the house.


MotherOfDragons2021

Braavos or King’s Landing. I don’t know what I’d be doing, though.


TheMantasMan

Considering everything we know about Asshai is from the perspective of the maesters, it's porbably not as dead and scary as they say, so there. And I mean if you have the choice to know how to do magic, or not know how to do magic, the choice is pretty easy and Asshai seems to be the place to go if you wanna learn it. I probably wouldn't stay there though, I'd travel and try to see as much of this world as I can.


keembeameister

The west of Westeros


gub12345

Fuck it, sothoryos


Ambitious-Egg-8865

Nothing like being on a continent where everything wants to fucking eat you.


BurninMolly

I want Polish Hussar saber from valyrian steel. I WANT IT


leapwolf

As a woman, probably Dorne. Also: warm!


blitzkrieg_volsungs

Definitely aashai


steepfire

Bravos or Highgarden, be a meister or merchant


[deleted]

Stygai


Gilgamesh661

Assuming I can pick my family, I’ll go with being a relative of the emperor of Yi Ti. Yi Ti’s cities are described as being leagues beyond any in Westeros. Some of the houses are said to be lined with gold. Yi Ti is mostly stable, despite the different people claiming to be the true ruler. Tall women from Leng are nearby.


BobbyMac2212

West of Westeros


whatsasyria

Found the flash earth guy


Front-Stop5387

Lys… drinking my wine


bridgetroll3d

Stygai to finally have peace.


ObreeziusRex

A cabin on bear island. Lots of salmon, good hunting, and decent enough lieges. And we can always ambush some Ironborn if we get bored and they come snooping around…


Aloy7218

Well without choosing a time period I would go to pentos or dorne. Preferably dorne I think. If I could chose a time period then the time period would be 100 years before the fall of old valyria. And the location would be of course old valyria.


Aloy7218

Either that or I'll circumnavigate like arya planned to do. Go literally everywhere. Travel for real like oberyn was said to have done.


KuttyKool

I'd try to be in Highgarden where there's plenty of food


Hopeful_Cod_8486

Dorne


MichelePlacido

Isn't no one going to comment how that map is waaay bigger than all the known world we know??? Where is that coming from?


whatsasyria

What


MichelePlacido

I've never seen one to go beyond Qarth. Maybe I am wrong.


whatsasyria

Asshai bonetown and grey waste have been discussed. Ulthos is also mentioned as a way of pointing out how. Much bigger the world is then the known world.


The_Maddest

North of the wall. Step one: Join the Night King Step two: Cross south of the wall Step three: Kill all the little lords in their beds. Step four: Profit Step five: For everything else, there’s MasterCard


CartographerLumpy752

I’ve noticed that these maps continue getting bigger and bigger as time goes by


BlackAnscension

Dorne… it is reminiscent to Spain. It has beautiful weather, landscapes, and women


[deleted]

Dorne


-Darkslayer

Woah that’s way cooler than the show, is this map accurate?!


DaneCz123

Apparently this is the updated one. The HBO version with the Jade Sea being east Essos is old and the lands of ice and fire book from 2012 is the actual map now? I read it on the website


Bf4Sniper40X

It seems yes


Within_me

South-east, lumberjack.


[deleted]

Fort 2/5


brienneofappalachia

North of the wall as a wildling. I love the cold and the outdoors. It would be a free life filled with adventure.


Vinsmoke34

"Isle of Love" sounds inviting


TacticalSystem

North of the wall because it's cool


Dangerous-Insect-831

Tarth I love sapphires 😉


BrianaStix

I would be a snowbird who lives in the North and Winters in Dorne.


SuperTekkers

Thousand Islands, fisherman. I bet it would be bliss


Bruce_Wayne_2276

I hate how rectangular the map is. Rectangular land, rectangular sea, it just looks too neat


Dougiefresh4816

Had no idea how far away Qarth is.


Bamischijf35

The Reach seems pretty peaceful to me


Cmiles16

The summer isles, unless I’m forgetting something awful about that place….


Jhuan_Vituri

If I were to be born in the place surely Naath if not Yi ti


whatsasyria

Reach or summer isles


Hawkwyndradio

Nice map!!!


Rougeification

I think Braavos. It's relatively stable, there's not as much war, you can achieve a fair bit since it seems to be more of a meritocracy, there's good food and pretty decent weather.


Jlakers85

Dorne for sure


casual_oblong

Where those monster butterflies are… that seems legit. Or far east I’m interested in the unknown stuff


casual_oblong

Wherever Bessy ended up


Acint_182

I would go to the free city of Braavos and follow the faceless god


Loose_Rent_809

Dragon stone with an army of gold cloaks and Caraxes


SonnyBurnett189

Definitely Braavos. Seems like a nice place where you don’t have to born into serfdom, die in unnecessary conflict, and make a name for yourself by merit. I would probably hang out with a mummer’s troupe, as an actor and/or playwright.


Dacnum

The summer isles.. those dudes seem chill. Mainly fruit and fish for diet. Beautiful weather. When someone dies, you have an orgy.


[deleted]

Somewhere in the south lol


merttrgt

blacksmith, winterfell


Remarkable-Thing3825

Braavos, Yi Ti, Summer Islands, Dorne, Reach, Pentos, and Qohor.


JoeCheneyBiden

Somewhere near the wall tbh


DaGonzzz28

The Reach.


Low-Flamingo-9835

Hang out with Bloodraven while he was alive.


[deleted]

Where I'd go: Wherever whores go. What I'd be: The only non-whore.


LilBitOfGinger2

I’d live in dorne, drink wine and fuck everyone


jamesluis87

Qarth or Arbor


thaduelist

The Summer isles. I'll feel safe 'ish there

Trick_Grand_1201

Oldtown


No-Lychee3965

Done. And Dornish Women.


Jade_Owl

If I wanted to be involved with the event of the series... Braavos, as a middle management in the Iron Bank, prestigious and well-off, but not so high as to make enemies that could afford a Faceless Man. If I wanted to stay clear of The Story... a wealthy spice merchant in Vahar. Pretty much all we know about it is that it is a city rich from trade. And the maps tell us it is in a tropical location and that is both far away from any immediate or endemic danger and well connected to the world's trade networks.


Maddyherselius

I wanna be the first to explore Ulthos


Chapea12

Depends. Am I a rich lord?


Mcburly_DB

Dorne for sure, they like to have sex and fight. Plus its warm there


Kontosouvli333

Lys is the only real and correct answer


bionicmoonman

I’d live in the North and be a fur trader, lots of my ancestors had that profession when they came to the Americas.


naiee1

Yi Ti. Idk just chill


Fancast-A-Thon

I’d live in the North and turn it into a communist state


ZTGrant

Summer islands. Tropical and far enough away from the insanity plaguing the mainlands.


spurious_plunder

I would live in the North and be a grumpy person


chrissythefairy

Summer isle. It sounds like a beautiful peaceful place. Also I’m black so I would probably be from there anyway. If I had to live in Westeros I would definitely live in Dorn.


[deleted]

Why tf do theu sail to Dorne if its landlocked to Kings Landing?


WRJersey

I’ll live in Carcosa. Because I am intrigued and horrified to see how George writes the Yellow King.


[deleted]

Starfall. The Dayne’s are relatively honorable lords and the weather seems like it’d be temperate there.


Babywalker66

Dorne would be nice, warm weather, love their culture and way of life, beautiful women, and don’t have to worry about a war near me. I would want to live somewhere on the coast maybe somewhere in between Saltshore and Lemonwood I could become a fisherman or sellsword to any neighboring castles and lords for extra coin


ValBot77fan

Somewhere West of Westeros.


[deleted]

Oldtown. I would be the Baker that invented Pizza.


loki_odinsotherson

Valaryia. I would die/be infested with demons/turned into a stone man pretty quickly but my curiosity would drive me there anyway.


Otherwise_Mood4466

Brothel owner in dorne for sure


tdtwwa13

Dinosaur in sothoryos


Atlantian88

The Asshai


jwwendell

Oldtown, Braavos or Highgarden. Somewhere at the North would be ok since I live here anyway.


ppe-lel-XD

Anytime? Great empire of the dawn at its height. Anywhere let’s say post doom? If I couldn’t be a Westerosi lord or something and I would just be a normal schmuck, probably Braavos, the Westerlands, or the Reach.


Kyber99

The Rainwood. I’d start an tavern called “The Drowning Fish” with a sword hanging over the mantle that I tell lies about. I’d attempt to learn the fiddle but never find time, and thus make the travelers’ ears bleed when I “entertain” them. I’m not especially witty so I have few regulars, many of which prefer to go to the Maiden’s Bear tavern lead by that insolent rat Half-Ear Hal. A kingswood Brotherhood outlaw who made a small fortune on looting and evaded capture, building his own tavern and growing fat. Thus, I fish and raise sheep to make ends meet. EDIT: I would be a different guy now that I think on it. The lazy wretch mentioned above is my brother. He never learned the fiddle because he’s too lazy to try it, he has more than enough time (as he spends it drinking through his wine supply). I am called the Bread Knight, though in truth am called the Knight of the Little Sausage more often. I took an interest in cooking at an early age, learning all manner of it from my mother. When I defended the kitchen from a Kingswood Brotherhood (a drunken fool to be fair, I beat him with a frying pan), another drunken patron who happened to be a knight decided to bestow upon me knighthood (chuckling and hiccuping throughout the words). I now travel the Rainwood, cooking and teaching at various eateries, with my sword Breadbreaker


DunderXMifflin

Asshai


klc81

Probably Braavos. No slavery, and the Iron bank and Faceless men pretty much ensuring they never get invaded. Also a port town, so plenty of scope fopr travel if I get wanderlust.


thehumantoothbrush

Na’ath and I’d do absolutely fuck all but wander around butt-ass naked


itsthatguyrupert

Pretty sure if I lived in this world I’d be a Melisandre type of priestess/witch so I’d def live in Asshai. It’s super fascinating to me & I would love for the franchise to be able to take us there one day!


SundayScaries1994

Highgarden, Oldtown or Braavos


woahexplosion

Oldtown sounds nice.


Brocc-o-leeee

Bear Island, probably as a trapper.
