Behind the scenes

Carcosa has not yet been mentioned in the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, only appearing in the map collection The Lands of Ice and Fire. Its name may be a reference by George R. R. Martin to Carcosa, a city in "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" by Ambrose Bierce, The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers, and the Cthulhu Mythos of H. P. Lovecraft.
