House Selmy in the book is put in the Marches along with Caron, Dondarrion etc., while if I recall correctly in the mod it's put in the north of the Stormlands?

It was already moved from under the high lordship of tarth to the high lordship of the dornish marshes.
Have you guys who read the book seen this, I guess its just a little outdated since it shows for an example that Tarbeck Hall is in the southwestern part of Westerlands and not south of Castamere for instance, also several dynasties have a bit different places and etc compared to the mod. btw looking forward to the next update...

Well they're not from this book but I like to look at the map when reading and since we're discussing positions and stuff I thought it was relevant since its quite different from the mod and seems to be quite accurate.
He did at least get the position of House Selmy right before this mod did. ^.^

A peaceful land, a quiet people.
Flay him.
But back to the topic, another possible event chain (sort of like the sword quest) would be for a Westerosi with high stewardship to get the opportunity to organize a trading expedition to the far reaches of Essos. Modeled on Corlys Velaryon, whose voyages apparently made his house crazy rich (only to decline again after a few generations), you could face various pirates, storms, etc., but if you succeed you get a ton of money and prestige, maybe a nickname (and can never do it again). He's the most famous example, but it's mentioned that a successful trip to e.g. Yi Ti could make anyone fabulously rich, but is extremely risky (look at Victarion's losses just sailing to Slaver's Bay). Plus, you could have flavor events where you stop at a couple cities along the way, and e.g. hear the Bells of Norvos, see the Long Bridge, etc. Probably too much work for the next release, but something for the future.
Another possibility would be for Sarnor characters who successfully retake their land from the Dothraki to refound some of the old Sarnor cities (based on the Roman provinces decisions from LoR), and rebuild the palace (with that decision being based on the Rebuild the Temple decision for Jews in vanilla)

The book has a lot of useful info pertaining to the rest of the world.
For instance, I think the Ibbenese might use the "neanderthal" set of portraits the Middle Earth mod uses for one of their human-like races.
Also, it has a lot of info on the Basilisk islands
I cannot wait to play as a corsair there. Way cooler than the Stepstones.

Regarding the claim that Ibbenese aren't the same species of human than the rest of the Westerosi/ Essosi: this is one of those instances where you don't know if Yandel is full of shit or actually is on to something.
In case you have noticed maps outside of westeros are not identical. Sometimes islands are bit off and land is bigger or smaler. Reason for this is that very few westerosian people have actually travelled in Essos so locations are not accurate. Also further you go more half-human and magic you will encounter like in medieval times "here be dragons". I believe most of non-westeros regions and kingdoms are pretty normal and there are no non-human people, but thats how Martin makes world intresting and alive when accurate information does not exist.
The thing with the Ibbenese/Neanderthal theory is that it's not actually all that farfetched. Neanderthals would still exist today if we hadn't wiped them out/assimilated them in our own timeline, there's nothing to prevent an isolated pocket from surviving in Essos.
From the descriptions of the Brindle men they actually sound kind of like Paranthropus

Seems like maester is wrong about Ibenness, they appeared pretty often in the saga itself, often with some people being their descendant.

I would advice to look at entire thread, especially this:

He is certainly wrong about stuff regarding the Ibbenese. His description though sounds a little like Neanderthals. And Neanderthals would perhaps just be seen as weird hairy humans. And yes, neanderthals and humans could interbreed, so if that's what they're supposed to parallell, then Yandel is definitely wrong about that point.
