| - The Known World are the known places of the world of Daventry.
- The world of A Song of Ice and Fire has no overall name, with its inhabitants simply referring to it as 'the world'. The world stretches for thousands upon thousands of miles, the majority of it covered by ocean. There are four known continents: Westeros, Essos, Sothoryos and Ulthos.
- The Known World takes 400 days to travel round its sun, a much larger and hotter star than our own, and is orbited by two moons. The larger of these - known in The Empire as Mannslieb ("Beloved of Manann") - has a cycle of 25 days from full to full and looks not unlike the moon of our own world. The other - named Morrslieb ("Beloved of Mórr") - is erratic, appearing now closer, now further away than its partner.

| - The Known World are the known places of the world of Daventry.
- The Known World takes 400 days to travel round its sun, a much larger and hotter star than our own, and is orbited by two moons. The larger of these - known in The Empire as Mannslieb ("Beloved of Manann") - has a cycle of 25 days from full to full and looks not unlike the moon of our own world. The other - named Morrslieb ("Beloved of Mórr") - is erratic, appearing now closer, now further away than its partner. There are two main legends concerning the origins and nature of Morrslieb. According to the first, it was once a gateway in the sky, through which daemons came to prey upon the people of the Known World. Mórr inflicted a great and terrible death upon them and fashioned the second moon out of the wreckage, so that mortals would never forget how the god had saved them. The second legend maintains that when Chaos first broke through into the Known World, a great block of Warpstone was hurled high into the sky, where it circles endlessly, spreading Chaos on the lands over which it passes. This legend is believed mainly by the followers of Chaos, who hold festivals when Morrslieb is full.
