His story predates events about 1,000 years ago Game of Thrones, Making it much older on the Vestaros timeline than any of the previously announced projects (HBO shot the prequel pilot in 2019, set more during Heroes of Age, but it never got into the series). Is the working title for the project 10,000 ships, Referring to Numeria, who ordered the burning of all his ships after Dorne had brought his army from Assassin, will not return there (Martin, a fan of history). ).
Sea snake: With functional title 9 Voyage, This is Rome The creators follow Bruno Heller and Lord Corlis Valerion, aka The Sea Snake, Lord of the Tides and Head of House Valerion.
