Last week, there was a faint flutter in Elden Ring circles after fans spotted a cute little detail: that George R. R. Martin appeared to have inserted himself into the game while writing its background lore by naming all its major players – who you’ll inevitably encounter as bosses at some point or other – after his own initials.
