Westeros is a continent defined by its variety. Its Seven Kingdoms cover vast tracts of land and ways of life. The frozen North bears little resemblance to the deserts of Dorne. Their people follow that trend, enjoying drastically different cultures. The traditions in Westeros vary, but the old continent, Essos, can be even more fascinating. Thousands of miles east of the familiar home of Game of Thrones lies the dark mountainous regions known only as the Shadow Lands.
