Oh cool, thanks for commenting!

Hm yes, I also considered that the setting of the story isn't a real place, probably because it isn't important.

What's that? *Googles 'A Song of Ice and Fire'* Ohhh Game of Thrones, haha (is it crazy that I've never watched it??). I don't know enough about the show to get your reference, but I do get the general idea :)

Whoa really? I never knew that! I just assumed it was the same as our timeline because some people were speculating about "medieval times" or something.

I suppose a good conclusion to this is that the time/location of the story is vague on purpose because it simply doesn't matter?
