Of course, most of what Westeros knows about Yi Ti has likely been embellished. There’s a general who’s also trying to usurp the god-emperor. There’s an exiled sorcerer who is trying to usurp the god-emperor. There’s a god-emperor who we know little about. Supposedly, there are houses of solid gold. Yi Ti has endless treasures and mysteries for Arya. This is where the real meat of Arya’s adventures begin.īronn As Master of Coin Is Good for Bronn-and Not for the Rest of Westeros Will Tyrion Be Able to Maintain Stability and Unity in the Six Kingdoms? Drogon Burned the Iron Throne. But assuming Arya did make it through all that, she would presumably arrive at a place called Yi Ti, an advanced civilization that resembles ancient China. There is a reason no one has ever tried to do what Arya is attempting and returned to Westeros to tell the tale. There will be storms, of course, but also possibly encounters with krakens, leviathans, and even sea dragons. That would confirm that the planet can be circumnavigated-and would seemingly confirm that there is no Americas-like continent waiting for Arya, either.īut before Arya can follow up and find the far east, she has to deal with the Sunset Sea itself.
Unless she was! Some years later, fabled seafarer Corlys Velaryon said he spotted Elissa’s ship, Sun Chaser, at dock in Asshai. And after finding those islands and continuing west, she was never seen again … It was she who discovered that trio of islands in the first place, after a terrible storm knocked them off course. Elissa was an adventurer who likely once possessed the three dragon eggs that eventually turned into Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. Arya is following in the footsteps-or, the wake, I guess-of Elissa Farman, who traveled west some two and a half centuries before Arya. While Arya says that “no one knows” what’s out there, she’s not quite correct. So let’s say Arya sticks to that southern route. Just to give you an idea of what I mean: At the Kingsmoot in A Feast for Crows, Gylbert Farwynd practically got laughed off of the island by the same people that elected Euron Greyjoy. It’s ruled by a family called the Farwynds, who are considered a group of weirdos even by Iron Islander standards. The island furthest to the west that is still considered part of Westeros is called Lonely Light, and it’s an eight-day sail from the Iron Islands. For that we have to go a bit farther out. Visiting them would hardly be considered exploring-and not the kind of adventure Arya is seeking. Let’s start with what’s closest to Westeros: Islands like the Arbor, Bear Island, and the Iron Islands dot the western coast-but these are well-populated strongholds that are part of Westeros itself. Or, the sea may wrap straight around to the eastern edge of Essos. And given that in Martin’s universe, Westeros feels a bit like the United Kingdom and Europe and Essos feels like Asia, Arya may be heading for an unexpected landing on a continent that resembles the Americas. Martin has confirmed that the planet Westeros is on is round, meaning that we can at least confirm that Arya won’t sail off a cliff. The maps may stop, but the world doesn’t.
