"In the western lands of the world are the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros."
Given that the western part of a planet is damned arbitrary,
consider simplifying the directions. Klingon does not have the
concept of something being "in" in the west. You can only be west
of something or go west.
Yeah, I ran into some trouble with this. The map of the wolrd, when
laid out flat, shows the continents of Westeros in (naturally) the
west, and Essos in the east. Might there be some better way to
convey this?
{ta' Seppu'ghach pong 'oH}
That's a hideously ugly name in a hideously formatted sentence. I
can't find
any evidence that "Landing" in that sense means Seppu'ghach
("Bredness"?).
This page

suggests it means what most people would assume it means. Why don't
you go
with vergh, the way most people would interpret the English?
jang De'vID:
ghaytan {Saq} {Sep} je mISmoH. But even then, *{Saqpu'ghach} would
mean something like "having-landed-ness" rather than a "landing" in
the sense of a ship dock.
De'vId is correct. (The typo daemon strikes again!) I think I'll just
call King's Landing *King's Landing* and be done with it. Give a
sentence or two to describe how it came to be named so, and leave it at
that.
