Westeros
Fictional medieval continent
Westeros is the fictional continent where most of the action takes place in George R.R.
Martin's *A Song of Ice and Fire* novels and their television adaptation *Game of Thrones*.
The name has become shorthand for the series' world of political intrigue, dynastic warfare, and fantasy elements: I'm rewatching the early seasons when Westeros politics were at their peak.
