Jon_Stargaryen Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Where does the term Planetos com from? I just find it odd, seeing as they refer to their world [or things dealing with the surface of their world] as earth. It just seems odd to me.

Deepbollywood Motte Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 It's a fanterm for the planet. The known world is on a planet, the known continents all end in -os so the planet is dubbed Planetos, for lack of a better term. Calling it 'earth' may be confusing is some discussions. George was asked about this but his answer was everything but clear (as usual, on stuff like this): https://winteriscoming.net/2017/05/15/world-ice-fire-called-planetos-george-r-r-martin-weighs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andalos, Essos, Sothoryos etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Ravens Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Westeros, Essos, Sothoryos, Planetos. I prefer GRRth over Planetos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
