Have read all the books to date and seen the show. There are dragons in it. There is magic in it. There are mystical people and what appears to be spirits and ghosts and witches.
People get badly wounded and yet no one dies of a bacterial infection. There are buildings constructed in ways that our physics wouldn’t support with the assumed materials and tolerances of the assumed period.
There are undead - in fact they are introduced in the prologue of the first book. There is a massive ice wall made by humans in an area that is, as described in the books in permanent winter but yet inhabited by people. And giants. And a few days ride to places that have warm summers. And oh yeah, the seasons last years instead of months and are irregular and unpredictable in length.
But yes, the lands the fictional Dothraki people roamed in should be similar to our grasslands in terms of climate and appropriate garb.
- kybernetikos 6y ago> yet no one dies of a bacterial infection I have read most of the books (a long time ago now) and I believe this happens at least twice. As well as that, there's a lot of talk about cleaning wounds too, even in field situations (typically with boiled wine - apparently similar to Hippocrates).
