May 1, 2015 at 18:39 comment added Omegacron I always got the idea that the sorcerors tried to control Nature itself, but instead they screwed up and everything went nuts on 'em.

May 13, 2014 at 17:24 comment added Monty129 @TLP et. all, I always felt Valyria was akin to Atlantis as it's a lost continent (even though it's still there, it's just inaccesable now) that had both ties to magic and/or super-science.
May 13, 2014 at 15:55 comment added TLP @Monty129 And here I was thinking that it was inspired by Moria: The dwarves dug too deep and unleashed a great evil. :) They had mines in Valyria, and it is reported that the slaves were often killed when they dug into a magma channel, or disturbed a fire wyrm. Extensive mining could be an explanation for the devastation of an earthquake. Right now, here in Sweden, they have to move the city of Malmberget because the mine around which it was once built has made the ground unsafe.

May 13, 2014 at 13:12 comment added Monty129 @JimmyShelter I always felt Valyria was more a take on Atlantis than anything else.

May 13, 2014 at 13:08 comment added Kevin @Monty129 a question-asker here isn't required to know all canon in a universe, which would be needed to know whether a question is answerable.
May 13, 2014 at 13:06 comment added user8719 My feeling is that Valyria seems like GRRM's take on Numenor, but yes, this is a RAFO (involving lots of waiting for the last 2 books to be published, unfortunately).

May 13, 2014 at 11:53 comment added Danieloplata If any definitive answer isn't available, I'm happy to settle for spirited speculation.
May 13, 2014 at 11:44 comment added Monty129 Seeing as there are still two books left to publish in ASOIAF and it hasn't been detailed in any of the already published material I think you'll have to wait until the series is over.
