Game of Thrones part 1: Locations
Damn my roommate! Now I'm on a huuuuge GoT kick, and just after I started my Exalted game on RPoL. >.< Because of him, I'm now trying to port all the major characters to Exalted. So here starts my analysis. Feel free to comment if you know both.
Map of Creation
Map of Westeros
The Blessed Isle (Exalted)- It basically matches the geography of the Crownlands of Westeros, right down to the Imperial City being on the east coast much like King's Landing. We'll say it goes all the way west to the Carachal River, and the rest of the BI is the Westerlands.
The Riverlands (Westeros)- Move it a bit to the east, and you can put it smack dab right on top of the River Province. Move north to the Trident -- the area around Great Forks -- and you can go straight into the Metagalapan Ranges.
Metagalapa (Exalted)- This would be the Vale of Arryn on the Westeros map, and the Eyrie would probably be smack-dab in the middle of the Ranges.
The Northlands (Westeros)- Where this analogy starts to make the most sense is when you figure out where Winterfell would be -- Whitewall, naturally. It's the heart of the northern Scavenger Lands, and the further north you travel, the closer to fae-controlled territory you get -- although to be fair, on the Exalted map you don't really get into the Far North until you cross the White Sea. So Haslanti territory is the Wall.
Dorne (Westeros)- Easy. There's a mountain range along the north shore of the southern Scavenger Lands, along which sits several major cities. Northeast of that, toward Kirighast and areas north, would be the Marches.
The Reach (Westeros)- This is where the analogy breaks down a little. You can either stick with basic Westeros geography -- in which case you can put it in the An-Teng region in the south -- or you can move it entirely. I choose the second option, and would therefore put it around Port Calin and Lookshy to the east of the Blessed Isle. Alternately, since much of the far Eastern portion of Creation hasn't been used, possibly in the Hundred Kingdoms close to Arladeth.
Arczekhi Horde (Exalted)- East of Chaya (which would represent the Free Cities to which Daenerys was exiled), it's close enough to the Eastern Wyld to feasibly house the Dothraki.
