It's here! Well, mostly...there's still a few areas that I haven't managed to find a canon name for just yet, and I might refine the borders further, but for now, I'm happy with this layout.

A few weeks back I saw the huge book "The World of Ice and Fire" in a second hand shop, and since I was earning a decent amount of money, I decided to buy it regardless of the price, and I've been slowly working my way through it, since it's 300 pages long and it's effectively a history book, so, while fascinating, it's a lot of information to take in. While reading through it, though, I noticed that they'd included several new maps of the Seven Kingdoms, and that the borders shown here rendered those from the Game of Thrones mod (and the Westerisk! game I derived from that) incorrect. After finding that nobody had updated the borders anywhere, I decided to simply scan the maps and trace over them...took a while, but I did it, and managed to update the game for my friends. Not long after that, I stumbled across this page where somebody took the same maps and traced over them to take a guess at the borders of the lands held by the lords in the series. asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/…

Now, I was never particularly happy with the borders in the CKII mod...while I think they did an amazing job of bringing the GOT world to life, I thought the borders were a bit too simple (probably because I'd spent a lot of time modding maps of Europe which had insanely complex borders). So after seeing those, I thought I could take it one step further...add his concepts to the tracing, and try and update the GOT mod province map accordingly!

One thing I wanted to do was create Duchy borders that could be used to create historic Kingdoms of Westeros for a Pre-Seven Kingdoms start...for instance, you might notice that the bulk of Dornish March states could form a nice neat "Red Mountains". Or you could carve a "Kingdom of the Fingers" out of the North Vale, or the Kingdom of the Neck could expand into the Crossing, or the Vale into the Green Fork...on that note, I've also tried to use canonical names for everything, with a few areas named after the speculative locations of places on the maps. It actually meant I had to redraw some duchies completely because I couldn't find a canonical location in the area!
