This also raises similar questions to what we have today in the real world, namely, how did these ancient civilizations have the mastery of technology and architecture to raise these structures? Valyrian involvement is a big wildcard, in that through the use of dragon flame and sorcery certain things can be done with stone that otherwise cannot be accomplished by "normal" humans. This Lion of the Night seems to be an equivalent of the Great Other and his demons would be the Others? As I saw in some threads here, the Five Forts would be some kind of Wall? but this seems unlikely, for the Forts predate the Freehold's rise, and there is no record of any dragonlords ever coming so far east.
and indeed, there is something godlike, or demonic, about the monstrous size of the forts, for each of the five is large enough to house ten thousand men, and their massive walls stand almost a thousand feet high.Ĭertain scholars from the west have suggested Valyrian involvement in the construction of the Five Forts, for the great walls are single slabs of fused black stone that resemble certain Valyrian citadels in the west. The Five Forts are very old, older than the Golden Empire itself some claim they were raised by the Pearl Emperor during the morning of the Great Empire to keep the Lion of Night and his demons from the realms of men. No discussion of Yi Ti would be complete without a mention of the Five Forts, a line of hulking ancient citadels that stand along the far northeastern frontiers of the Golden Empire, between the Bleeding Seas (named for the characteristic hue of its deep waters, supposedly the result of a plant that only grows there) and the Mountains of the Morn. So, I'm really intrigued about the five forts, we heard a bit about them in TWOIAF, and something caught my attention:
