GRRM's Thousand Worlds


King Blackwood

Recommended Posts

I read Dreamsongs last month, and really enjoyed GRRM's short fiction, especially the stories set in his future history, the Thousand Worlds. I tried to find a full list of his Thousand Worlds stories, but I couldn't find one. I was really surprised there wasn't a wiki haha It seemed to me that there's a wiki for absolutely everything.

 

Anyways, I know of the novels:

Dying of the Light

Tuf Voyaging

 

The stories in Dreamsongs:

The Hero

With Morning Comes Mistfall

A Song for Lya

This Tower of Ashes

And Seven Times Never Kill Man

The Stone City

Bitterblooms

The Way of Cross and Dragon

Sandkings

Nightflyers

The Glass Flower

 

I listened to StarshipSofa's audiobook/podcast of Men of Greywater Watch.

 

I also know of:

Starlady

In the House of the Worm

 

Are there others? Does anyone have a comprehensive list?

Anyone know whether Windhaven is officially in the Thousand Worlds or not?

 

I didn't even know there were other space ring stories.

 

There's one called Nor The Many-Colored Fires Of A Star Ring, which is in the Nightflyers collection.

I've a vague memory that the original colony ship might have been from one of the Thousand Worlds, but I might be misremembering.

I think George said he had an idea for another one but never found time to write it.

From what I can tell, there are 21 stories in 1000 worlds:

 

1) "A Song for Lya"

2) "And Seven Times Never Kill Man"

3) "Bitterblooms"

4) "Dying of the Light"

5) "In the House of the Worm"

6) "Men of Greywater Station"

7) "Nightflyers"

8) "Sandkings"

9) "Starlady"

10) "The Glass Flower"

11) "The Hero"

12) "The Stone City"

13) "The Way of Cross and Dragon")

14) "This Tower of Ashes" 

"Tuf Voyaging"

15) "The Plague Star"

16) "A Beast for Norn"

17) "Guardians"

18) "Call Him Moses"

19) "Loaves and Fishes"

20) "Manna from Heaven"

21) "Second Helpings"

 

While other stories may be secretly in the 1000 worlds, these 21 are absolutely part of it.

I didn't even know a thing like this existed. Is GRRM's Thousand Worlds like Sanderson's Cosmere?

 

Not really, it's a sci-fi setting which is the background for a lot of his pre-ASOIAF short fiction - the Thousand Worlds are the planets that have been colonised by humanity.
