Base map

Adam Whitehead — Atlas of Ice and Fire

639 places, 480 houses, 1,032 people, 168 events and 25 dragons: 2,344 entries, each with its own page in English and Spanish. None of them is filler. When something is not recorded, the entry says so instead of hiding it.

What sets this atlas apart from the wikis it draws on is a section none of them has: “What this atlas does not know”. A place name read off the drawing of the base map, a year two chronicles tell differently, or a translation nobody ever published — each is flagged on the specific field, with the reason written underneath.

It is a static site: there is no database to query and no server answering: the pages are generated whole at build time and served as files. The world is drawn by MapLibre GL over the project’s own vector geometry, the pages are generated by Next.js and the hosting is Vercel.

The catalogue is not typed either. It comes out of a chain of programs that read the base map, the wikis and the published guides, and that bring the build down if two things claim the same address or a figure stops adding up. The figures on this page are counted from the catalogue every time the site is built.

This is not an official site, and it is not associated with, sponsored by or approved by George R. R. Martin, HBO or any of their licensees. It is a fan work: free, with no advertising and nothing for sale. Where every image comes from and under which licence is written separately. Sources and rights

If you know the books and you spot a castle in the wrong place, a name badly translated or a house that is missing, that is the kind of email this project is glad to get. With the source, if you can: that is what separates a correction from an opinion, and it is what the atlas demands of itself on every entry. equipo@aidestudio.com
