World of A Song of Ice and Fire

Most of the story takes place on the continent Westeros, in a large political entity known as the Seven Kingdoms. The "Seven Kingdoms" actually consist of nine regions (the North, the Iron Islands, the Riverlands, the Vale, the Westerlands, the Stormlands, the Reach, the Crownlands, and Dorne), and there is a largely unmapped area to the north, separated from the Seven Kingdoms by a massive wall of ice and old magic.
