George R.R. Martin has a surprising name for the world in GameofThrones
Game of Thrones is known for its expansive worldbuilding, with more than a hundred named characters and dozens of towns, holdfasts, castles, kingdoms and regions sprawled over multiple continents. George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series is even more in-depth, building out the fictional history of Westeros for hundreds of years. But for all we know about the world of Game of Thrones, there’s just as much that remains mysterious, including the name of the world itself.
The world isn't even named in"The Lands of Ice and Fire: Map's From King's Landing to Across the Narrow Sea." Random House “He would probably call it Earth,” Martin responded under his screen name, grrm. “Of course, it would not be that word, since he’d be speaking the Common Tongue, not English. But it would mean Earth.”
By Vance, Martin means Jack Vance, an American sci-fi and fantasy author, most famous for his Dying Earth series . Martin has long cited Vance as a major influence, even editing a tribute anthology called Songs of the Dying Earth. Vance’s novel Big Planet introduces a world that’s much like Earth, except larger and lacking in useful minerals and metals.
