The Known World is composed of at least three continents (Westeros, Essos, and Sothoryos), a large landmass (Ulthos). None of the four major landmasses have been completely mapped, and much of the world remains unexplored. Located in the far west of the known world, the continent of Westeros is long and relatively narrow, extending from Dorne in the south to the Lands of Always Winter in the far north.

The Maesters of the Citadel have questioned on the lifespan of the world. Archmaester Perestan, believes the world been around for forty-thousand years, and Archmaester Mollos instead suggests five hundred thousand years, while Maester Yandel asks whether it might be older than either figure, and points out that no accounts of its beginnings exist, as its origins predate written history, meaning that no-one can know for certain.
