  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Theon I

    Back to the snow, back to the war, back to the north!

    Finally, after so long we return to our search for answers in the camp of Stannis Baratheon. How will his army survive? How will the battle for Winterfell continue? What was the aftermath of Theon appearing out of the snow at the end of Dance? Finally, we get answers via our wall/chain-mounted Theon cam.

    On The Theon Hour this week we see Stannis return to kingsmanship as he deals with traitors, fulfils old promises, makes contingency plans, and drops plenty of amazing lines! At the same time we finally look to the Winterfell horizon as Stannis interrogates his prisoner for any information given, all while debating on the most appropriate way to kill him. If this chapter tells us anything, it is that the war for the north is far from over.

    So come step on the Isle for a few seconds of laughing at Lebron, first off, but after that discussions of Jeyne Poole's future and how it varies between hooking Arya back to Westeros or being married off to a southerner, how close Stannis' camp might be to mutiny, Theon's appraisal of his own soul, Stannis' secret plans for assault, Asha's reaction to her brother's appearance, Theon's ultimate fate and how the hell Bran, Bloodraven, and some really noisy birds might change the entire path of this plotline. That, and plenty more for perhaps the most interesting preview chapter of them all!

  • Sporcle Spectacular! Storm of Swords Opening Sentences w/Emily of the Eyrie

    Be given an opening sentence from A Storm of Swords and then guess which POV it belongs to!

    Simple, you say? Well, you just wait. Or better yet, have a go yourself and tell us how you did as Emily and I go head to head.

  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Aeron I/ The Forsaken
    Thunderbolts. Lightning. Very very...well you know the rest.
     
    Actually, there's no thunderbolts or lightning in this chapter but there may as well be as we enter perhaps the darkest chapter in all ASOIAF. Down in the depths of shadow we reunite with Aeron as he undergoes...quite a bit. Ancient trauma, physical torture, questions that you think bend the mind until the visions kick in and show you what true brain shattering is. And all of it is swirling around and around a figure cloaked in darkness save for one terrible red eye. Yes this is the chapter of Euron Greyjoy and all that he could be about to inflict on us as circumstances go from awful to much much worse.
     
    Hop aboard the Isle, if you dare, for conversations on the battle between ironborn and Redwyne, what the plan for Oldtown might be, the parts of Oldtown Euron doesn't even know about, maester-fallout, white-fire-women, reverse engineering, and talking about Asha because we need at least one damn positive out of this thing.

  • 100 Questions on The Winds of Winter Part 2: Questions 11-20

    Emily and myself return for another ten questions blazing across the entire spectrum of The Winds of Winter! We've got sword names, we've got early exits, we've got the Vale, Stoneheart, and horny Tywin?? No thanks.

     

    Specifically, today's questions include:

    - Unseen locations we finally visit

    - Who is the next fan favourite (the Nimble Dick award)

    - The most difficult to predict storyline

    - What was Tywin up to in Lys?

    - New valyrian steel swords 

    - Who we think will disappoint the most

    - Will Sweetrobin survive the book?

    - What  current events could Bran see through the weirwood net?

    - Could Dany use the Dragonbinder horn?

    - And what will become of Lady Stoneheart?

     

    Thank you for your questions. Thank you for your answers. Keep sending them both in! But before you do join us on the Isle to hear Emily talk on the jumble of King's Landing and where the weirwoods are, I get far too deep into Blackfish talk, and we both have a go at naming some swords!

  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Mercy
    Today we come upon one of the most most wonderfully written chapters of well. As enchanting as it is chilling. As thrilling as it expansive. Finally, after far too long away, we return to Arya as she takes on her latest role.
    While we see her live the life of Mercy and prepare for a big performance we also learn even more about Braavos and the life of the smallfolk. We wonder who her next target might be and how far she's fallen into the role. And then as our eyes our opened we are rewarded with one of the greatest, darkest acts of vengeance in the series. Arya steps to the stage.
     
    So hop upon the Isle once more for thoughts on what Nymeria might be up to, the appreciation for George giving us an entirely different viewpoint of how this world works, whether this will be the 'hook' that drags Arya back to Westeros, and the many possible consequences that Arya, Braavos, and Westeros might face because of this.
    That plus general love for Arya because...well, she's great.

  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Arianne II
    Dorne? We don't need no stinking Dorne. Today we're going back to the Stormlands! In our second trip to Arianne land we get back to a long-forgotten kingdom, visit the Weeping Town, go caving, make contact with the Golden Company, re-meet Haldon Halfmaester and learn PLENTY about the next steps of Jon Con & Aegon. That, plus the fact they don't have any dragons. Uh oh.
     
    As Arianne continues her development journey and thinks further on this monumental decision, she also keeps trying to reign in her cousin, accepts the danger of her position, and even (maybe) moves past the immaturity of the Quentyn Question to what it actually means if Dany isn't coming.
     
    So step aboard the Isle for all that plus conversations on Horny Feathers, the symbolism of the Weeping Town's Tale, the political after effects of bringing the Golden Company to Westeros, Daemon bravery, Elia bravery, the beauty of the Rainwood, the mysticism of the historical caves and so, so much talk about the Stormlands and ESPECIALLY my beloved Storm's End. Like, a lot a lot.

  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Arianne I
    Welcome to the 2nd century here on the Isle. Today we travel all the way back for long-awaited Dorne to chat about an even more awaited Arianne. Yes we return to southern and central Westeros to focus on one of the biggest storylines in Winds: the return of dragons to Westeros. This time we do it in the framework of Arianne stepping away from her home, into the limelight, to ascertain the truth about a certain heritage claim taking place in the Stormlands.
     
    The Targaryens have their prints all over this chapter. As does Quentyn. As does Doran. And a couple of new characters too. There's that, the pressure Arianne holds, the politics of Dorne, potential dreams, and the focus on maturation since the last Arianne we saw.
     
    So hop aboard the Isle for all that plus yet more tourney talk, what Dornish family wants what, Sylva Santagar theories, what future trouble Arianne could get into, and a whole bunch of Daenerys talk as we finally begin to merge!

  • Episode 100- 100 Qs on TWOW Part 1 W/ Emily of the Eyrie

    Well, here we are my fellow green chums. For the hundredth time, we step upon the Isle.

    Wowsers.

    But there'll have to be time for mind-blowing later. For now we kick off not only our new 100Qs series but we welcome new part-time co-host Emily of the Eyrie for the very first time.

    After some explaining, thanking, and introducing, Emily and I go through the first ten of our hundred Winds questions, ones that we encourage you to send in your own answers to (as well as some more questions if you have them!)

    Today's puzzlers include:

    - Which POV will die first?

    - What will Jon Snow be like upon his resurrection?

    - What is the fate and future of Meera Reed?

    - Which non-titled POV will gain a title?

    - And plenty more!

     

    So come along, celebrate the century mark, welcome Emily, and settle down for question time (and of course let us know how you like the new episode!)

  • Scraps and Scrolls- TWOW Alayne I

    Returned from our break and ready for a new era comes this, the 99th episode of THE ISLE OF FACES. After long last, we return to our dearest Sansa. In our longest Winds preview chapter yet we are back in a Vale on the edge. Winter is held at bay for now, but we are switching the bloody sands of Meereen for the deepest court intrigues of the Valemen.

    Sansa Stark, now oceans deep in the persona of Alayne Stone, is still playing the mother role to Sweetrobin, but change is afoot as the Knights of the Vale arrive to compete in a new tourney. Among them is Harry the Heir, the man who could mean complete change to many. He, says Petyr Baelish, is Sansa's mission. He is the next rung on the ladder. Today we see how Sansa is more than prepared for the challenge.

    Step aboard the Isle for a reminder of what is coming in Episode 100, a discussion on Sansa's own gatekeeping sins in terms of Sweetrobin, how tactically brilliant the idea of a tourney is for winning the Vale, what Petyr Baelish might be planning on the political, westerosi-wide scene, and just how Sansa's latest skills interact with her true self. And yes, I do get just a teeny bit sweary about a certain someone.
