The HBO series Game of Thrones [LINK] and the book series it's from, A Song of Ice and Fire [LINK] , offer no examples or suggestions that the world is set in a hollow world. But the television show's opening credits [this video] strongly suggest this very thing. Has there been an official word about the shape of the Song of Ice and Fire world?

Being that the Title sequence for Game of Thrones tells us a lot about each house, each city for that particular series or represents a place in the world of Game of Thrones. I keep on wondering what is the thing that looks like a lit up shield in the below picture; [LINK] Here it is again later on in the Title sequence; And I don't think it is the sun as there is a place where they show what seems to be the sun in the picture below: [LINK] So what is it supposed to be, or what is it supposed to represent?
Cites Shade · 2021-11 · Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange · on “Was the intro for The Expanse inspired by Game of Thrones”
The intro to The Expanse reminds me to the intro of Game of Thrones Intro of The Expanse Intro of Game of Thrones Both intros show important places, buildings "growing" and none of the main characters directly. Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me that The Expanse intro was inspired by the one from Game of Thrones. Has this ever been addressed and confirmed / denied by somebody involved in Expanse?
