- The warlocks' power and prestige have waned over the years and some of the Qartheen elite regard them with contempt. Nevertheless, the Warlocks still hold a permanent seat in the Thirteen, the ruling council of Qarth.
Water Dance
- The Water Dance, also known as the Bravo's Dance, is a swordfighting style practiced by the swordfighters of the Free City of Braavos. Unlike the fighting style of Westerosi knights, Water Dancers favor slender, lighter swords for a faster, more elegant fighting style based on sword thrusts, instead of the hacking and slashing of heavy longswords and greatswords. Instead of defending by means of powerful direct blocks with heavy swords, this style favors using greater agility to dodge or deflect incoming attacks. It is called the "Water Dance" because it stresses fluid motion, quickly advancing to attack or withdrawing to defend.
- Arya Stark was taught this style of fighting by a Swordmaster prior to his death.
Westeros
- The continent where the majority of the game is set.
The White Walkers
- The White Walkers, also known as The Others, are a species of humanoid beings that exist in the north beyond the Wall.

He flew to the top of Giant's Lance on the back of a giant falcon to slay the Griffin King. There are hundreds of tales recording his adventures. He is said to have been the first King of Mountain and Vale.
