** The Free Folk of the far north refuse to answer to anything resembling organized government, and scornfully refer to those who do as "kneelers"; to them, the only men worth following are those who prove their worth through individual accomplishment, which to a tribal Iron Age culture means primarily warchiefs who can secure or promise glory and plunder to their followers. As a result, the most common form of organization above the individual tribe and village level consists of famous warchiefs who have managed to secure the loyalty of large numbers of tribes and raiders through a combination of fame, force of personality, and absorbing defeated enemy groups, which they then use to feud with one another and pursue personal aims. Six times in history, some of these chiefs managed to assemble the majority or entirety of the northern tribes into a single, more or less united fighting force, thus claiming the title of King-Beyond-the-Wall.
** The Dothraki are a nomadic warrior culture who, similarly to the Free Folk, respect little outside of martial strength. They live in large hordes ruled by khals, whose continued rule hinges on their ability to defend their position against both rival hordes and their own followers -- a khal who cannot ride or fight ceases to be a khal. In the normal course of things, a khalasar roams across the grasslands where the Dothraki live, growing its strength by fighting and absorbing other hordes and periodically ranging out to strike against neighboring peoples. Since all authority and leadership rests on the khal's person, his death usually leads to chaos as his sons and lieutenants compete for his position. Sometimes, one emerges as the clear victor and takes command of the whole group. More often, the horde fragments as each claimant gathers the men most loyal to him and heads out into the plains.

** Played with Bonnifer Hasty and his one hundred strong company. The women are safe with them, Jaime Lannister mentions there are no reports of them ever raping anyone, unlike the rest of Lannister army, but it is implied that is because Hasty and his boys either took the vow of chastity, some of them are homosexual and Hasty is doing everything in his power to prevent or minimize their contact with women, pretty or otherwise. Such as kicking Pia, the only surviving woman in Harrenhall, out after he takes command.

* WinterOfStarvation: ExaggeratedTrope -- Planetos has BizarreSeasons which vacillate greatly in length, usually somewhere between one and ten years. (What is a "year" if not a cycle of 4 seasons? [[PlotHole Don't ask.]]) Several years of summer is great; several years of winter is devastating. And if year-long winters aren't bad enough, there's also the "Long Night" -- a [[LegendFadesToMyth legendary and probably historical]] generation-long winter -- which some people say will someday happen again.
** In the [[GrimUpNorth North]] where winters are long and brutal, old men will sometimes announce that they are "going hunting." This is a euphemism for them willingly going off to die so there is more food for the younger members of their family.
--->[Arya] remembered a tale she had heard from Old Nan, about how sometimes during a long winter, men who'd lived beyond their years would announce that they were going hunting. ''And their daughters would weep and their sons would turn their faces to the fire'', she could hear Old Nan saying, ''but no one would stop them, or ask what game they meant to hunt, with the snows so deep and the cold wind howling.''

* ThermalDissident: The Targaryens, a family who share a magic bond with dragons, enjoy hotter temperatures.
-->'''WordOfGod:''' The Targaryans can tolerate a bit more heat than most ordinary people, they like really hot baths and things like that, but that doesn't mean they're totally immune to fire, no.

* WalkOfShame:
** It is mentioned that when Tywin Lannister became Lord of the Westerlands, he had his late father's mistress exiled, forcing her to walk through the streets naked and announce she's a whore on her way out of Lannisport.
** In ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'', Cersei is imprisoned by the Faith on suspicion of adultery, incest, and murdering the previous High Septon. Cersei [[ConfessToALesserCrime only confesses to adultery]], allowing her to avoid execution, but is forced to do a "walk of atonement," where she has her head shaved, her clothes stripped, and is forced to walk through King's Landing while a septa rings a bell and yells "SHAME!" with every step.

* StepServant: Set in a pseudo-medieval world where highborn men having acknowledged bastard children is a normal, if rocky, part of their society. If these children are brought into their fathers' homes after any fashion, it's usually in a servant role -- particularly for bastard ''daughters''.
** Falia Flowers, the bastard daughter of Lord Humfrey Hewett, was raised in her father's castle but was made a servant while her legitimate half-sisters lived in luxury. When the Ironborn pirates conquer the Shield Islands, Falia sides with them and [[TheDogBitesBack gets revenge on her stepmother and half-sisters]] by making them [[ShamefulStrip strip off their gowns]] and serve the pirates while naked.
** Alys Rivers is the bastard daughter of House Strong, and she serves at their castle as a wet nurse for decades. In their world, wet nurses aren't just for orphans -- highborn women sometimes elect to have lowborn women nurse their babies for them. This means there's a particularly acute class angle to Alys's role.

* SoupOfPoverty:
** A low-quality stew called the "bowl o' brown" is the staple food of peasants living in Flea Bottom, simmering for years inside huge tubs and always getting new ingredients added to it. Any edible ingredient can be tossed into a bowl o' brown: barley, carrot, turnip, apple, fish, rat, cat, pigeon, horse, and... well, when a bard named Symon Silver-Tongue tries to blackmail Tyrion Lannister for better career prospects, let's just say a certain pot-shop ends up getting a surprise donation of "long pork".
** In ''Literature/ADanceWithDragons'', when House Bolton's forces and allies are snowed in at Winterfell by a massive blizzard, the common men and soldiers are served watery grey porridge and plain bread while the lords and knights eat the good food like ham, bacon, and butter, which causes some grumbles of discontent among the former.

** Davos to Stannis. Davos saved Stannis's life, in return Stannis made him into a lord and cut tops of his fingers on his left hand himself with a cleaver. Which was a mercy, because by the letter of the law Stannis should have either hanged him or cut off Davos's hand or head. Afterwards, Davos is this to Stannis

However, once he takes the throne he finds himself ill-suited to rule and spends his time drinking and whoring, while leaving the actual ruling of the kingdom to various advisors who are more interested in their own agendas than the good of the realm.
