Most characters in Game of Thrones are in various permanent states of culture clash. The most notable groups in and around Westeros operate on a sliding scale of civilization, technology, and natural hardship, setting them apart. Citizens of King's Landing struggle in the North and vice versa. Only the gruffest and most desperate in Westeros venture beyond the Wall. The Free Folk who live in the Frostfang mountains call themselves the Thenns and boast more ingenuity than their widling neighbors.
