Funfact; AROS is also the name of a Danish art museum http://aros.dk/. AROS means River mouth in old Danish and is the old name of the second largest city in Denmark, Aarhus.

Same with Swedish city Västerås with original name West Aros. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4ster%C3%A5s
West Aros. Like... Westeros? Is that where they got that from for GoT?
It’s all a pastiche. Even the map is just Great Britain on top of Ireland: https://brilliantmaps.com/westeros/
I am in awe of the museum's website. With so much of animations I expected it to be a terrible experience but it is implemented brilliantly and functions so smooth.
