Also, the sigils of bastard children are of the same design as their noble parent’s house, but with the color scheme reversed. Since members of the nobility are the only ones who typically use surnames, this awards the child a certain status but by no means removes the stigma attached to their birth. The circumstances of individual bastards vary greatly from case to case, but some threads are constant if the noble parent- who is usually the father- acknowledges their bastard, the child is allowed to take a special surname, based on the region of Westeros where they were born.

Two primary continents, known as Westeros and Essos, make up the bulk of the visible landmass in this world, with the former being featured in storylines much more frequently. It is set in a fantasy world heavily based on the society and culture of the European Middle Ages.
