We'll now break down each area, how it's important to the show, and what other secrets they may hold. The North is the largest continuous region in the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the least populous.

The Starks serve as Wardens of the North and operate out of Winterfell , as they have for nearly years. Other major families hailing from the region include the Reeds, the Karstarks, the Umbers, and the Boltons, though Houses Bolton, Umber, and Karstark are in shambles after losing roundly at the Battle of the Bastards. Dorne is the southernmost region of Westeros and boasts an extremely unique and liberal culture relative to the rest of the continent.

They embrace sexual freedoms and welcome illegitimate children into their families publicly. This cultural dissonance is partially due to the region being cut off from the rest of Westeros by the Red Mountains, not unlike the Iberian Peninsula and the Andes Mountains in Europe, and also due to the fact that it was settled by an Essosian people called the Rhoynish, and not the First Men or the Andals like the rest of Westeros.

Traditionally ruled by House Tyrell , the Reach is a central region of Westeros possessed of the richest farmland on the continent. The Westerlands are on the western side of Westeros. The Lannisters have ruled the region since the time of the First Men and their seat is the supposedly impregnable Casterly Rock , located near the coastal city of Lannisport.

The Lannisters and their bannermen are known for their immense wealth due to the precious metals and iron veins that run through the hills of the region. The Riverlands lie directly to the east of the Westerlands and just north of King's Landing. Alexandra is a Los Angeles-based writer and podcaster.

The Iron Islands is a group of seven islands off the western coast of Westeros, directly north of Casterly Rock. The wilderness Beyond-the-Wall is the northernmost region of Westeros; though because it exists independent of crown rule, it remains completely unaffiliated with and largely unexplored by its southern neighbors.

The area Beyond-the-Wall is largely unexplored, and its nature makes it the source of many ghost stories, with the Night King and other magical beings like the Three-Eyed Raven taking up residence there. Page 3 of 3: Game of Thrones' Region of Essos. Prev 1 2 3.
