"Summer is coming."

What would mirror universe Westeros be like?


Keep in mind they're coming off a pretty long winter!

"For the Day is long and full of Wonders"

Great bountiful harvests, forest sprites spring up, blessing harvests, curing ails, and singing songs. All they ask for is a few saucers of milk per sprite and they will make Easteros have it's best harvest festival ever.

Assuming I'm not going with FaxModem's happier imagining that a inverse Easteros would be the opposite of shitty... well, the summer would be a long drought and the bad things would be bringing more fire. Easteros would depend on eastern cultures and religions, so rice-fields, sumari-knights, zen warrior-monks, metal is rare, nobody wears pants.

The enemies would be dragons (That would clash with the eastern lore that depicts dragons positively)? The power needed to defeat them would be some sort of water-creature (snake? Octopus? Cthulhu?).

Inverse Westeros would be Westeros before the First men came
I've been asked why I still follow a few of the people I know on Facebook with 'interesting political habits and view points'.

It's so when they comment on or approve of something, I know what pages to block/what not to vote for.

Easteros:

Summer is coming...

And with it, as always, war. Long have the bunnies of Easteros hibernated, but now it is springtime, and they rise up once again with murder in their eyes. Each generation of bucks is slaughtered, and replaced as quickly as the last in a cornucopia of lust and fecundity. The philosopher Cottontail wrote theories about what would happen without the perpetual bloodshed, but I digress. The opening notes of the violent symphony have already been played, with two kits from Burrow Turnip blown to pieces after discovering a painted egg hidden under a bucket. Every buck and doe is wearing their finest clothing, so they look good if they get killed, and there is much feasting. Small effigies of rabbits manufactured from a substance called "chocoatl" are consumed by the kits with a ghoulish fervor. Somebody comes back from the dead occasionally, and not in a very predictable way, either. I long to I am eager to present my findings on this continent upon my return to Oldtown.
