Sources and rights

Where everything you see here comes from, and who it belongs to.

The world belongs to others

Westeros, Essos and everything this atlas names are the creation of George R. R. Martin, published in the A Song of Ice and Fire saga and the world books, and of HBO in the series Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.

This atlas is a fan work: free and not for profit. It is not associated with, sponsored by or approved by any of them, and it claims no rights over their work: the names, trade marks and images cited belong to their owners.

The base map

The drawing of the world on which everything else is placed — coastlines, rivers, relief — comes from Adam Whitehead’s “Atlas of Ice and Fire”, the reference cartography of this fandom. Here it has been vectorised so it can be zoomed without falling apart, and it is credited inside the map itself, in its corner, at all times. Atlas of Ice and Fire

The coats of arms

351 house arms, taken from the Spanish wiki of the world of ice and fire under a CC BY-SA 3.0 licence. Almost all of them come from the heraldic project of the Citadel (westeros.org), which drew the heraldry of this fiction. Hielo y Fuego

The other 129 houses in the catalogue have no published arms, and none are invented for them: they carry a medallion drawn by the atlas with their initial, and the entry states that it is our interpretation and nobody’s heraldry.

The faces and the dragons

164 character portraits and 18 dragon images, all of them stills from the shows taken from the HBO wiki under a CC BY-SA 3.0 licence. Game of Thrones Wiki

Only screen images are published. The wikis also host illustrations signed by artists and video-game renders: they were downloaded, catalogued with their authorship, and are NOT served. Whoever never appeared on screen carries the seal of their house instead.

The provenance, whole and raw

For every published image the atlas records which wiki page it came from, under which file name, under which licence, and the sha1 of the original that was downloaded. This is not a summary and you do not have to take this page’s word for it: they are two files you can open and read.
