History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)

Bring out your dead! Though the term isn't used often, necromancy as a concept has a major place in ASOIAF. It's a deep topic: from wights beyond the Wall in the middle of nowhere to Ser Robert Strong at the Red Keep itself… From Beric Dondarrion and Lady Stoneheart to ancient tales as far east as Asshai and as far west as the Iron Isles, not to mention real world influences both historical and fictional.

Game of Thrones continues to impress us with its plot twists. Stories from behind the scenes of your favorite TV show can be just as interesting as the main plotlines. The Dothraki language has a vocabulary of over 3,000 words and continues to grow. The language was created by David Joshua Peterson for the TV series. The recipe for pigeon pie was not created by George R. R. Martin: he borrowed it from the 16th-century author Giovanni de' Rosselli. Game of Thrones hit all the possible ratings and became the most pirated TV series of all time. In one episode, one of the spikes at the Red Keep displays the prosthetic head of a former President George Bush. The directors of the show sell replicas of the actual Iron Throne for $30,000 (height: 7′ 2″; weight: 350 pounds). A replica of Gandalf's sword from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit is forged inside the Iron Throne. Sansa's clothing has sent very deliberate messages to her allies and her enemies on multiple occasions. Her wedding dress tells us her life story: a trout and a wolf on the belt mean that she was born in House Stark and House Tully. TIMESTAMPS You can learn the Dothraki language. 1:00 Serve your own pigeon pie. 1:38 Game of Thrones is becoming a Harvard class. 2:15 It's the most pirated show. 2:41 Mother of slugs. 3:13 No audition for Tyrion. 3:44 George Bush's head on a spike. 4:16 A mixtape dedicated to Game of Thrones. 4:48 HBO sells the Iron Throne. 5:08 Gandalf's sword is in the Iron Throne.5:33 70 ways to say "Hodor." 5:59 Madonna goes full Khaleesi. 6:26 A message in Sansa's dress. 6:49 Maester Aemon's actor is also blind. 7:33 Myrcella and Tommen date in real life. 8:00 Jon Snow and Arya Stark's original romance plot. 8:16 4 characters for 1 actor. 8:49 Catelyn Stark is the mother of Hermione Granger. 9:10 Viserys is related to Dickens. 9:38 Theon is Lily Allen's brother. 9:53 The Walk of Shame was real. 10:23 Young George R.

Send us a textCersei learns that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras has paid with his life - or at least he lies at death's door. She delights in sharing this news with Margaery - who is stricken, but remains hopeful. Cersei dreams of her childhood run-in with Maggy the Frog and the details of the woman's terrifying prophecy. Simon and Mackelly probably should have seen this coming.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister learns from Aurane Waters that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras led the assault to his doom. He was grievously wounded multiple times and lies unconscious beyond the skill of any maester to heal. Cersei is delighted. She carefully hides this as she shares the news with Margaery. The young queen is devastated, but latches on to the fact that Loras still lives and seems determined to seek to revive him.More non-Tyrion dwarf's heads are placed before her. The High Septon sends an emissary rather than himself to Cersei's annoyance. The faith is trying to shut down the brothels on the Street of Silk also to Cersei's, and every sailor's, annoyance. Grand Maester Pycelle reports that Lord Gyles Rosby seems to be dying. She dreams of her meeting with Maggy the Frog, the details of whose prophecy continue to come true (she did marry the king, she did become queen), which wouldn't be a problem but the prophecy turns a lot darker after that: she'll be replaced by a younger more beautiful queen, her three children will die, and the valonqar will choke the life from Cersei. She'd like to put a stop to that, and Qyburn thinks that she can.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Mother to King Tommen, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms.Aurane Waters - Grand Admiral, bastard of house Velaryon.King Tommen Baratheon - Child king of the Seven Kingdoms.Taena Merryweather - Social-climbing friend of Queen Cersei.Margaery Tyrell - Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

She has an unexpected drop-in by Falyse, whose husband has been killed by Bronn and also confessed Cersei's plot. Qyburn is given instructions that Falyse should never see the light of day again. Finally, she tries to take Taena roughly, as Robert once did with Cersei, but she can't get into it. Simon and Mackelly shudder at Falyse's fate.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister sits in the shadow of the Iron Throne, as Queen Margaery Tyrell implores Cersei to take immediate action against the Iron Born, who have taken the Shield Islands. Cersei thinks it's a plot by Stannis Baratheon to distract the Tyrell force from their siege at Storm's End. She suggests the Tyrells deal with their own issue with what resources they have available. When Dragonstone falls, the Redwyne fleet can then sail home and defend the Reach. Ser Loras Tyrell offers to lead an assault on Dragonstone, to expedite a resolution. Cersei can't believe her good luck. No matter the outcome of this assault, Cersei stands to come out a winner.Falyse Stokeworth comes back to King's Landing with bad news. Instead of stealthily assassinating Bronn, her husband challenged him to a joust. It went badly, and Ser Balman confessed to Cersei's part in the plot before Bronn dispatched him.

Send us a textCersei gets an update on Margaery court, while being waylaid by sparrows. She negotiates a deal with the new High Septon. He'll bless Tommen and erase the crown's debt to the Faith for a law allowing the re-emergence of the Faith Militant. Finally, she makes a veiled threat to Margaery. Mackelly and Simon bow their heads in prayer that she knows what she's doing.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister rides to the Great Sept of Baelor with Taena Maryweather. Taena fills Cersei in on the men in Margaery's court. The list is filled with most of the young, handsome knights in King's Landing. Therefore, the addition of Grand Maester Pycelle stands out. The going is slow. The litter is blocked by sparrows clogging the streets. Ultimately, Cersei walks the remainder of the way. Upon seeing a pile of bones of slain faithful, Cersei promises to seek revenge. However, the sparrows want only protection for the living.Inside the sept, Cersei is shocked to see septons on hands and knees scrubbing. When she meets the High Septon, she says he should have met her in his finest robes and a crystal crown, not wet and dirty. He explains that they've sold their crowns and fine robes. Cersei asks to speak in private. They kneel at the feet of the Crone. Cersei wants the sparrows gone from King's Landing and a blessing from the High Septon for King Tommen. The High Septon wants better protection from the king for the faithful throughout the realm. Cersei suggests they protect themselves, but a law prohibits the faith from taking up arms. She offers to abolish the law for a blessing for the king and forgiveness on the crown's debt to the faith. The High Septon agrees.On the ride back to the Red Keep, Cersei's festive mood is killed by the sight of Queen Margaery and her court. The two queens exchange pleasantries and barbs. When Cersei sees Margaery and Loras together, it reminds her of Jaime and herself. An idea takes root and laughter bursts forth. Margaery wants to share in the jest, and Cersei promises her that she will.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Mother to King Tommen, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms.King Tommen Baratheon - Child king of the Seven Kingdoms.High Septon - The highest ranking member of the Faith of the Seven.Taena Merryweather - Socia Support the showSupport us: Buy us a Cup of Arbor Gold, or become a sustainer and receive cool perks Donate to our cause Use our exclusive URL for a free 30-day trial of Audible Buy or gift Marriott Bonvoy points through our affiliate link Rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, podchaser.com, and elsewhere.Find us on social media: Discord Twitter @GhostsHarrenhal Facebook Instagram YouTube All Music credits to Ross Bugden:INSTAGRAM! : https://instagram.com/rossbugden/ (rossbugden) TWITTER! : https://twitter.com/RossBugden (@rossbugden) YOUTUBE! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kthxycmF25M

Finally, he defends the honor of Brienne of Tarth. Mackelly and Simon give high fives.Chapter Review:Jaime Lannister thinks the plan is folly. Queen Cersei doesn't care for his opinions on the matter. He'll go to the Riverlands, sort out Harrenhal, find Wylis Manderly, and end the siege at Riverrun. Jaime reluctantly agrees but insists on having Addam Marbrand and Ilyn Payne accompany him. Throughout their journey, Jaime finds a private place for Ser Ilyn and him to spar. Ilyn soundly defeats Jaime at every opportunity, and Jaime chose him as his partner because the silent knight can't tell anyone the embarrassing details.Once at Harrenhal, Jaime is disappointed to learn that no Bloody Mummers are captives but is pleased that Wylis Manderly is alive and in one piece. Jaime announces that Bonifer Hasty will take command of the castle. Bonifer wants no part of Gregor Clegane's men, so Jaime agrees to take them with him to Riverrun. At dinner, Ser Bonifer insists his Holy Hundred warriors can hold the castle, and Jaime hopes they can fight as well as they pray.Jaime leaves Ser Bonifer to find Ser Ilyn. Instead, Jaime finds Ronnet Connington overlooking the bear pit. Red Ronnet wanted to see where Brienne of Tarth fought the bear. He tells Jaime that he and Brienne were betrothed once.

What's up Brethren? We are back with episode 4 of House of The Dragon and we got full blown Dragon War. In this episode, Daemon is still on a vision quest to come to terms with the sins of his past. Namely those regarding young Rhaenyra, yet he still has no army at Harrenhall. Criston Cole continues to build the army for Team Green across the Crownlands while Alicent continues to spiral back in Kings Landing. Larys entrenches himself more and more into the Red Keep and happens upon Alicent drinking her Plan Tea... Rhaenyra returns to Dragon Stone as Criston Cole marches on Rooks Rest. Aemond humiliates Aegon in front of the small council as Aegon finds out that Cole and Aemond have hatched a plan without him knowing. Aegon flies into battle to prove that he's a big boy too... Cole and Aemond's plan to draw out a dragon from Dragonstone works and Rhaenys answers the call. In our first major dragon fight of the series, a main character falls, a dragon is dead and a king lays burnt by his brother. This season is amazing. This show rocks. Introducing BravBros Members!

This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions and power struggles following the shocking murder of Johannes the Younger. Frank provides a detailed breakdown of the key events, comparing them to the source material, and discusses the evolving dynamics among the Targaryens and their allies. With a blend of analysis and personal insights, Frank offers a captivating discussion that fans of both the show and the books will appreciate.

Otto Hightower's manipulation tactics and their impact on public perception. Rhaenyra's increasing distrust of Daemon and her growing autonomy. The strategic importance of Harrenhal in the Targaryen civil war. Criston Cole's moral complexity and rise to Hand of the King. The show's exploration of emotional depth contrasts with the book's focus on political and military strategies. Memorable Quotes: "This is a story of the fall of the Targaryens." "Aegon's destruction of the Valyria model symbolizes the end of his father's legacy." "Otto Hightower specializes in PR, and he's using the murder to turn lords against Rhaenyra."

He sees Loras Tyrell practicing jousting with envy, the younger Kingsguard is the better horseman. He finds his sister in her cups and hanging with Pycelle, Taena Merryweather, and King Tommen.

It's the royal wedding day and Cersei couldn't be less thrilled. She's in constant fear for Tommen's safety, feels like the Tyrells are manipulating her, and is surrounded by fools. Plus, a long ago prophecy keeps coming to mind. Only one activity brings her any joy in the day, and it's quite the doozy. Simon and Mackelly remembered to pack their sunglasses and stand in the back.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister hopes for a storm to rock the Red Keep to its base. Her youngest son gets married today, and Cersei is taking no pleasure in the fact. Young King Tommen will marry his older brother's widow, and Cersei thinks it's much too soon. Ser Jaime Lannister has taken every precaution imaginable to protect Tommen, but it's not enough for Cersei. She can't help but recall a prophecy told to her as a child by a fortune teller, where a beautiful young queen will cast her down and take all she holds dear.When Tommen briefly chokes on wine during the wedding feast, it's more than Cersei can bear. She leaves the hall to cry in private. However, Taena Merryweather finds her and says Cersei's made is a Tyrell spy. Cersei is skeptical of the Myrish beauty, who is one of Queen Margaery's ladies. However, she promises a reward if Taena is telling the truth.Back in the Small Hall, Cersei surveys the room and decides it's full of imbeciles, including her brother Jaime. Everyone will need to be replaced by her own people. When she's called “the old queen” one too many times, Cersei asks for everyone to follow her outside.

Jaime might've bitten off more than he can chew with standing vigil over his father for seven days and nights. While battling sleep, he recalls his last conversation with Rhaegar Targaryen as well as his recent one with the chief undergaoler. He's visited by Cersei and again rejects her plea to be Hand of the King. Finally, he brokers a lunch for Cersei and feeds her exact steps to success.

Cersei is awakened to the news that her father is dead. She can hardly believe it, but is not exactly broken up about it.

Mackelly and Simon spot many of Cersei's character flaws, while ignoring their own.Chapter Review:Cersei dreams of sitting the Iron Throne. It's a great dream until Tyrion appears, and her clothes disappear. Then it takes a nasty turn. She gets cut and the Iron Throne fights her. Tyrion laughs. A maid wakes her. Not to save her from the dream but because the Kingsguard are here to let her know that Tywin is dead. Cersei's struggling to separate the dream from reality. But she begins to piece it together. She dresses and is escorted to the Tower of the Hand.En route, she ponders how she should react and how she and her rivals will use her father's death to their advantage. Jamie has followed the secret passage in the fireplace, and Loras Tyrell has been sent to check on King Tommen. She sends Boros Blount to confirm that Tyrion is still secured. She wants Pycelle to prepare her father's body, but he's been and gone and not even bothered to remove the quarrel from Lord Tywin's guts.Qyburn comes in and prepares the body, and asks what's to be done with Shae. Cersei hadn't even noticed her. She wants her removed quietly, so nobody gets the idea that Tywin was consorting with a prostitute. Jamie arrives back, no sign of the murderer. She offers him the role of Hand, he refuses. Uncle Kevan demands that they stop squabbling. Blount returns with news that Tyrion is escaped.

Firstly... I'm so sorry. This recording was SUCH a pain in the backside to edit. The audio was awful and all attempts to improve it made it worse AND made it harder to cut out things I normally save you from hearing, such as chair noises, page turns, clattering pens... There is a section of weird noises I left in, but that was because it was funny. The problem is fixed so next time better (if not normal lol) service will be resumed.Secondly, here is the latest episode! Beth and Stef cover A Time Of Testing, when Jaehaerys finally gets to be an actual King and get on with the job of Kinging.He has to sort shit out at the Red Keep. Also make sure everything is good with The Faith because, oopsy, he accidentally married his sister and Westerosi people haven't historically been into that. In addition, he's got step-daddy from hell and treasonous-bro-in-chief, Rogar Baratheon to sort out once and for all, plus empty royal coffers (new Targ house words: No Money, Mo' Problems) and a prodigal sister that turns up needing a place to stay.Oh, also, my bad: I keep saying Yandel wrote Fire And Blood.

Podrik Payne cannot vouch for Tyrion's innocence, which suggests that few will. The last witness is a surprise: Shae. Of course Cersei would have interviewed, and coerced, Sansa's handmaids. But Shae is not only going to lie for Cersei, she's also going to tell the truth. Tyrion and Sansa plotted the murder and Tyrion used her sexually and forced her to refer to him as “her giant of Lannister.” The crowd's laughter is too much for Tyrion and he demands the trial by combat.Cerseis is thrilled to announce that the Mountain Gregor Clegane will fight for her, but the whole room is stunned when Oberyn Martell offers to champion Tyrion's cause. Tywin is furious. Tyrion realizes that this situation has no good outcomes for Tywin. If Oberyn wins, the Tyrells will be annoyed, and Tyrion freed.

Tyrion stands trial for the murder of the king. The prosecution has no end of witnesses, while Tyrion has none. But at the 11th hour a glimmer of hope appears. Mackelly and Simon weigh the scales of justice.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister languishes for days in a Red Keep tower cell. He's well-treated and fed as befits his station, but the crime of which he's accused holds only one possible punishment. He's getting advice and daily visits from his uncle Kevan, but neither of them is very optimistic of his chances. Cersei is amassing a deluge of witnesses to testify against him. Tyrion pins his hopes on trial by combat, but knowing that the opponent will be Gregor Clegane, Bronn demurs. The trial, before a three-judge panel of Tywin, Mace Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell, goes very badly for Tyrion. The witnesses either exaggerate, downright lie, or in the case of Varys: accurately report Tyrion's various threats and comments on the dead king. Kevan advises confession and the Night's Watch, but Tyrion doesn't trust his father's mercy.On the final night of the trial, Tyrion is visited in his cell by Oberyn. He's not necessarily there to reassure Tyrion, but knowing that he's doomed he's hoping to get the truth about his sister's death. Tyrion confirms some suspicions: while it was the now dead Lorch who dispatched Princess Rhaenys, it was The Mountain who raped and murdered Elia and killed baby Aegon. But Tyrion denies that Tywin ordered the deaths. Oberyn throws Tyrion a lifeline. He'll be his champion in trial by combat against Clegane.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.

Instead, he's killed by three crossbow bolts.Littlefinger explains to a highly-upset Sansa that Dontos did what he did at Littlefinger's command and did so because he was being handsomely paid. Once he'd drunk this payday, he'd sell Sansa again to Varys or Cersei. When Sansa asks why Littlefinger would want to hurt the Lannisters, who gave him so much, he responds that he had no motive. He likes to keep his foes confused. He says he loved Sansa's mother Catelyn and thinks in a different world Sansa might've been his daughter. He tells Sansa to forget about the Lannisters, Tyrion, and King's Landing. She's safe with him and sailing home.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Elder daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.
