===Westeros===
:{{Main|Westeros}}
Located in the far west of the known world, the continent of Westeros is long and relatively narrow, extending from [[Dorne]] in the south to the [[Lands of Always Winter]] in the far north. The [[Wall]], the border between the [[Seven Kingdoms]] and lands [[beyond the Wall]] to the north, is 300 miles long,{{Ref|AGOT|21}} indicating that Westeros is roughly 900 miles wide at its widest point, east to west. North of the Wall, much land remains uncharted.

Westeros contains the Seven Kingdoms south of the Wall, and the [[Lands of Always Winter]] north of the Wall. The Seven Kingdoms, first unified under [[House Targaryen|Targaryen rule]], are made out of nine regions (the [[crownlands]], [[Dorne]], the [[Iron Islands]], the [[north]], the [[Reach]], the [[riverlands]], the [[stormlands]], the [[Vale of Arryn]], and the [[westerlands]]).{{Ref|TLOIAF| The Known World}}{{Ref|TLOIAF| Westeros}} Bordering on Westeros lie the [[Sunset Sea]] (to the south), the [[narrow sea]] (to the east, southern half), and the [[Shivering Sea]] (to the east, northern half).{{Ref|TLOIAF| Westeros}}{{Ref|TLOIAF| Beyond the Wall}}
