Realm Atlas

Major Locations

The geography of Westeros and Essos is shaped by powerful political centers and culturally distinct regions. King's Landing stands at the heart of the Seven Kingdoms as a symbol of royal authority, while Dragonstone represents the origins and strength of House Targaryen. Further north, Winterfell and the Wall anchor a harsher world shaped by ancient threats, while the exotic landscapes of Essos—from the Free Cities to Slaver's Bay—expand the story's scale and diversity. Each location carries centuries of history and conflict, influencing the struggles of characters and the shifting balance of power.
