"Sothoryos" does sound kinda cool, I'll admit. Legolas Send a noteboard - 07/04/2011 07:59:53 PM
Unlike the other two, it manages to hint at the word "south" without feeling like a bad calque.
It is probably Valyrian, given that many of the Free Cities' names end in "os" as well, like Bravos, Pentos, Norvos, Tyrosh etc.

To me it fits together perfectly.

Well, yes, that it does - that's kind of the problem. In a world that wants to seem real, things generally shouldn't fit together too perfectly like that.

Valyria is on the maps in A STORM OF SWORDS Werthead - 08/04/2011 09:47:50 AM 1954 Views
So what lies along the southern coast between the Free Cities and Valyria? Shannow - 08/04/2011 01:26:08 PM 1225 Views
Not a lot, as that's where the Dothraki Sea touches the coast. Werthead - 08/04/2011 04:25:34 PM 1120 Views
Huh. I always pictured them as being much closer together. Legolas - 07/04/2011 07:48:52 PM 1035 Views
I think the name is very fitting, and hints at an ancient "First Language" that named all continents Shannow - 07/04/2011 07:54:13 PM 1119 Views

Essos is the "scientific" name for the Eastern Continent... Shannow - 07/04/2011 08:05:41 PM 1221 Views
Hm. Okay, fair enough, then, I guess. Legolas - 07/04/2011 08:25:07 PM 1177 Views
I got the info from Ice and Fire Wikia... Shannow - 07/04/2011 08:41:59 PM 1096 Views
