It is now possible to see Westeros in it's natural state devoid of the map features which obscure the landscape below. For example you can hide the labels or the city/town markers. One good reason to publish this map on the Internet now is that I have also created an interface which will allow viewers to show/hide the map features they choose. New versions of my speculative map will be posted on this website at a later date. I am confident that what I've done here can be reshaped according to the new maps so that eventually I will be able to create a full beautiful map which I will be using as the background for my Animated Timeline Map. And most fortunately none of this will be wasted. Well it would be a shame to let all that work go to waste. You may wonder why I am going ahead with releasing the map in light of this information. We will finally have official maps showing the real shape and position of all the known places in George's world.
So that means in just over six months from the time I write this, my speculative map will become redundant. George has informed me ( see below) that the maps in this book will take us far beyond what we've seen before, going as far east as Asshai. Of course having just finished this map we now learn that George is working on a new book scheduled to be published later this year (30 October 2012) entitled Maps of Ice and Fire. I am happy to announce the map is now done. The second task I've been working on is to create a new map which incorporates both maps of Essos from A Dance With Dragons finished in the same art style as Tear's original Westeros map. Work is ongoing with this monumental task but I hope to have the spreadsheet finished before the end of 2012. First is a huge and complex spreadsheet which details the entire timeline of A Song of Ice and Fire. It may appear that work on my Animated Timeline Map project has stopped, but in fact a lot has been going on behind the scenes on two different fronts.
