Starfell Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I quite like both Planetos (maybe as pla-NET-os) and WoIaF (WOY-af!), although I've seen Planet Os suggested before which is quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankytoes Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Some of you may not agree the planet should be called earth because of this but to me this ends the question:Surely "water" would be more appropriate for ours and presumably theirs?

LordStoneheart Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Surely "water" would be more appropriate for ours and presumably theirs? Not necessarily. I'm not sure if there's more water or land on Earth if counting the interior, but we are land dwellers. I disagree with the notion that the Children of the Forest mean just dirt, soil, or the element when they say 'earth.' I just plain disagree, no reason for so. Also, the Varys quote I mentioned makes it clear that they consider their world Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyse Stark Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 GRRTH to me, is too close to girth. I can't get behind that. Planetos for some reason makes me think of Captain Planet, so yeah, sci-fi. What about something like GRRMworld, or if we go off how planets were named after Roman (nee Greek) gods, why not Meraxes? (I picked Meraxes because it sounds like Axis, but I suppose Vhagar, Balerion or any other god in GRRMworld works) Meraxes or Shiranus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Crusher Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It's earth but 100,000,000,000 years in the future after a huge global thermonuclear war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the Varys quote I mentioned makes it clear that they consider their world Earth. Even if the characters call their world Earth, we just can't use it, because comparing their world to ours would be a huge mess. I mean, There aren't dragons on Earth, but unlike on Earth, the Earth has nuclear weapons, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

protar Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm quite liking Terros. Follows the "os" theme, sounds typically fantasy, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTowerOfJoy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 "The world of ice and fire" works for me. Woiaf! (good luck pronouncing that one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTowerOfJoy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Woy-Af Why not just pronouce it Woof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTowerOfJoy Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Honestly, there's no need to pronounce it at all. Good point, but then we might confuse Woiaf with WoIaF (the hopefully soon to be released World Book). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book WoIaF is a world book about woiaf. It IS the world of ice and fire. The world book being called that helps the case for us calling it that.

The world book being called that helps the case for us calling it that. Right, but when someone uses the initials, will we know whether they're talking about the book or the world. Though I suppose they're kind of the same thing, just not exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Flashheart Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 GRRTH. There can only be one right answer and it is GRRTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 GRRTH! Planetos is much to cheesy. Terros is better than Planetos, but not as good as GRRTH.Please release TWoW, GRRM. Before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
