Dorne = Spanish moors

I legitimately unironically literally overheard this conversation at my last job:

>Double gay faggot: I don't get it. What's the appeal of this show (GoT)?
>Dumb useless fat black whore: Oh you know I like it because it's like, historical and shit.

Nod rehlly, they live in deserts and shit in the show, in what is a Morocco proxy if anything.

Spain has deserts.

high fantasy is based on historicity tho

No, it does not. It has badlands, but no sandy deserts.

Clearly high middle ages, so 14th or 13th century AD

thats true tho

Shut up Satan you know what she meant and why it's annoying.

There is literally nothing wrong with that you twat

>it does not
Have you ever seen the Dollars trilogy with Clint Eastwood? All the scenes were shot in Spain and not the American southwest.

This might be a silly question but when were couches invented? Weren't those invented only quite a bit after the Middle Ages?

And they're not deserts.

Man, TED really is shit

>Desert plus navigable river

>brainlet who's never been near a real desert thinks deserts are determined by the amount of sand
You don't even know what the word desert means I'm afraid.

To be fair, he specified "sandy" deserts.

early 15th, it is based on the wars of the roses with various other history memes thrown in

the map is an upside down ireland

starks= york
lannisters=lancaster
the vale = wales
riverlands = rhineland and robber barons
the reach = france
iron islands = vikings
kings landing = paris/constantinople
stormlands = christian spanish kingdoms
dorne = andalusia

Deserts are more than just sand dunes you tard

I said Spain has deserts and he said no it doesn't. Which is wrong.

Stop being retarded.

Most deserts in the world are not sandy.

...

Semi desert is a type of desert.

You unironically thought desert = sand dunes, stop backpedaling now retard.

Not according to Köppen, but I guess official sources are way above the level of discourse.

>not true desert

He said that it has badlands.

If it were the early 15th century, there would lots of arquebus being fielded by then.

I honestly don't see anything outrageous about that comment.

>No, it does not.
That's what he said.

Followed by "It has badlands, but no sandy deserts."

full metal plate armour was from 1420 to 1485, so that period.

flying reptiles were 66 million years ago

Clothing made up, could be even today, with hipster wildlings

Diplomacy, Renaissance

Wartactics, since 560BC Sun Tzu

Weapons, High Medieval and Renaissance

Armor, late medieval 15th century

Morocco would be Mereen if it were combined with ancient Egypt/Mesopotamian/assorted random near east stuff
Timeline wise, its a mess

>Weapons; High Medieval and Renaissance
Wrong, for instance there's no such thing as gunpowder or cannons, and bows are still the regular ranged weapon rather than crossbows, who in real life dominated bows since the 15th century or something like that, far before the renaissance.

A song of ice and fire is based on 14th century armour, and more like 11-13th century tactics.

Game of thrones isnt based on fucking anything, it's what retards thought the middle ages where.

Come with an answer anytime, illiterate.

I unironically don't know, but don't think so. Gurrms setting is so bland and fuzzy that it's impossible to draw a reference to any culture in specific except "hot fertile crescent place"
