Description

The maps used are those of Westeros and Essos that precede the novels in the book series. At the center of the sphere is a heliocentric armillary sphere. The title sequence serves as a guide to the physical landscape of the world of Game of Thrones. The sequence of every episode opens with a close-up of the sun and the sphere surrounding it.
