King Aerys II had Brandon Stark seized and imprisoned on charges of treason, but Lord Rickard declared he would stand for his son in a trial by combat. Yet instead of an honorable duel, the Mad King declared that House Targaryen’s champion… would be fire. We take on the full, horrifying story.

Dunsen, Raff the Sweetling, Queen Cersei, Ser Ilyn, Ser Meryn… Valar Morghulis. A look at Arya’s kill list that she calls a prayer. The origin of the list, those she’s killed, those killed by someone else, theories on who might be added… and of course those still alive.

Each of the younger Starks received a direwolf, and each of them have skinchanger talent… But talent is not skill. We look at each Stark’s experience with skinchanging thus far while theorizing about their future. What happens when the Starks are reunited and begin to discuss their abilities? Included are wolf dreams, the connection the Starks feel to one another and who is the most powerful. We’ll also delve into the ancient past to look at the possible origins of skinchanging for House Stark.

The very night Daenerys Targaryen was born one of the worst storms in living memory struck. This earned her the nickname Stormborn, a moniker that has spread far and wide alongside news of her deeds, one she has carried before her like a standard. We delve into the story behind the legend, and the details just before her birth - her mother Queen Rhaella’s escape to Dragonstone before the Sack of King’s Landing and her own escape alongside her brother just ahead of Stannis Baratheon.

House Lothston ruled Harrenhal during what is arguably the darkest portion of its 300 year history… Given what Arya and others experienced there, that’s really saying something, and when Brienne carries a Lothston shield, she is repeatedly greeted with grim reactions. Join us for a look at a House accused of blood magic, child abduction, treason, cannibalism, madness, and scandalous relations with none other than House Targaryen.

Daenerys is told more than once that “to touch the light, you must pass beneath the shadow”. What is the shadow? We break down what the phrase means for Dany, and as a worldbuilding element associated with Asshai-by-the-Shadow. Let’s shed some light on the Shadowlands. We’ve got masks, magic, Mirri Maz Duur, Marwyn, and more.
