Indeed Braavos uses square iron coins. More info here. Also this channel is awesome at compilating and explaining lore. I've learned quite a bit form him.

The first that come to my mind are hemlock and belladonna. They are the most used historically, at least the most famous. It's true that they are not very "showy", so it wouldn't hurt to look at, for example, this list, that contains types of poisonous plants. There are a few purple ones, like...

I think Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Iberia are the best sources for inspiration for Dorne. They're muslim but not Persian/Mesopotamian/Indian influenced (not as much atleast). They feel "Essos adyacent" but not "full Essos". To me Westeros is more Western Mediterranean, while Essos is more...

Northern Reach Texas Megabuild

Have you considered any of this two hills? They're some of the highest spots of the surroundings, and they're facing the Westernlands. Also, the seem to protect the access to the river/stream valley, where most of the population lives. As said before, you can have a manor or a minor...

Not so much for the patterns, as the space to make intricate designs on the clothes is very small, but for the colours, I linked some pics of Andalusian (from al-Ándalus, not modern day Andalusia) cloths. Keep in mind they are at least 500 hundred years old, even a 1000, so some of the shades...

Since that's the color of the Braavos sea snails, I don't think is a problem rigth know. If Essos is ever done, we are far from even starting. I'm more inclined to the blueish purple (the middle one in my chart) than the true Tyrian Purple for Braavos thought, it's more fitting in my opinion...

I think the red wool and banner closely resembles one of the colors that are obtainable from this snails. Red is usually a common color in dyes and nature, so it makes sense (at least to me) that unbred snails (like the ones in the Stepstones) produce red or reddish dye, while bred snails in...

I don't think they should be used ONLY in Southern Reach, quite a bit of cities and towns in Iberia use orangy slate. Some regions of Dorne could benefit from it too, specially around the South face of the Red Mountains and near red sand deserts, where mud and clay may be more reddish. It should...

I had a wonderful Neolithic and Metal Ages in the Iberian Peninsula teacher who actually taught us about the whole Peninsula (god is it hard to find one like this) and she showed it in class. I thought you all will love it. Pleaseee go for it! Feel free to steal as much as you like. My bad, I...

My bad, I thought the Aegean reached the northern shores of Crete. I really like it anyways, Crete is beautiful and full of history. Fun fact: Heraklion was chosen as the capital of the island when pirates of Andalusian origin conquered it from the Byzantines, establishing a short-lived...

Ah yes, another inspo thread by Azulejo, who would've thought Dolmens are megalithic tombs build during the Neolithic. As many of you may already know, dolmens are chambers with or without an access corridor build with very large stone slabs, covered by an earth mound. Left, dolmen of Soto...

Amazing app! I always imagened the Stepstones as the Aegean Greek Islands, so this is right up my alley.

Aerio

My approach to choosing East coast for this was to make it so it's benefited from trade with Essos, but your points are perfectly valid. West North could use it too.

The other day this video appeared on my recommended and I thought someone may be interested. It's a really nice reconstruction of the city of Bergen in Norway in the mid XIV century. I think it would be perfect for the North, the architecture already resembles what we have going on there. I...

:mad:

Thank you! I'm glad it shows! To be fair this isn't super hard for me, as al-Ándalus is what as an Historian I would like to study/investgate/teach in the future, and I have many sources accumulated over the years. It also helps a lot that this is part of my culture, even though I'm from the...

Not really a bug but it would be cool if the wall at the main page was at night when you switched to nightmode.

Great minds think alike :D. One of the posts I'm plannig to make will feature two alternative palettes for Dorne aside the one we already have. I was thinking red sandstone/tapial and brick. I'll go deeper on this later, but red i think would be cool for southern Dorne, specially in the red sand...
