Empire of the Dawn: Ancient Mystery of ASOIAF

This videos covers the unsolved mystery of the Great Empire of the Dawn, a mythical empire in Essos said to have existed in the earliest days of ASOIAF lore. If they existed, they may have been pre-Valyrians, and may have even appeared in one of Daenerys Targaryen's dreams. They also have potential connections to Asshai, the Hightowers of Oldtown, the Daynes of Starfall, and even Euron Greyjoy. The empire was not mentioned in Game of Thrones, nor is it likely to be mentioned in TWOW or other future A Song of Ice and Fire books, but it intrigues me anyway. Tinfoil ahead...
