Game Of Thrones: Age Of Heroes & The Long Night Explained

1. Mysteries Of The East

Perhaps the most intriguing line in the description is "mysteries of the East." This show sounds like another that will be rooted in Westeros, much like Game of Thrones, but with room for more exploration of other lands.

After the Long Night came the Rise of Valyria, which saw Valyria become the new power in the known world, a story that would really differentiate this from Thrones while still allowing them to get their dragon fix.

Further back, however, there are myths and legends of Yi Ti, Asshai and the Shadow Lands, none of which have been explored in much depth and hold far more mysteries and questions than they do answers. The show exploring those lands thousands and thousands of years ago would be a fascinating move
