A lost person needs directions as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge.

Graphic designer Michael Tyznik created a series of maps inspired by A Song of Fire and Ice and Game of Thrones that would transport you across Westeros and Essos on an imaginary railway.

From Kings Landing to Winterfell, every city is geographically outlined in its place, according to the books and official maps. The map is also littered with references from the series, including stations being closed for repair in Harrentown and along the Wall Line.

Tyznik frequently designs transportation maps, but the project came at the request of his boyfriend, a huge Game of Thrones fan, the artist told Mashable.

All this transit talk just begs the question: Would a Westeros railway get you there faster than a dragon? Probably not. But we can't all have the luxury of owning such legendary beasts.
