True, I figured a lot of those terms have appeared in other fantasy novels, but the fact that they all appear together (along with the NPC Sansa) all within the first few quests in Gridania made me strongly suspect a George R R Martin influence. There are many others that have slipped my mind, but I'll add to the list as I see other things.
