Most of you have probably seen these around the web, but I figured I'd use a collection compiled by the Washington Post rather than some random buzz feed post.

Whoever made this definitely chose the right music, establishing a sense of wonder.

In case people have not experienced this yet, i'm sure most of you have, this will give you a good idea about the lands of GOT. It's pretty straightforward and easy to use and very obvious on how to avoid spoilers. Just stay away from the progression slider at the top right.

This is my favourite GoT map. Westeros only and tells the stories, if you know them, without being spoilers.

Heard people talking about languages last week and thought of this, although the publisher did not state what census report they used I would say it's fairly accurate.

This is clearly not a map, and actually depressing, but i think it's worth a thought nonetheless.

That is a graphically beautiful map, but conceptually disturbing.
The retina of the world's woes?
Really stunning.

My first map came from this collection, and intend to have it count as 1000 future posts.
