We continue our loose series on the various ethnic groups of Westeros with a deep dive on the Andals and the Andal invasion, the second mass human migration from Essos into Westeros, and arguably the most impactful. We look at their history, culture, religion and the reasons they went to Westeros and why they succeeded once they got there, tracing the course and impact of their invasion region by region across the continent.

Covering Arya’s arc from her final post-Red Wedding chapters in ASOS, through her five chapters set in Braavos, we explore the development of Arya’s unique skill set — skinchanging, face-changing and other disciplines taught at the House of Black and White, combined with an undiminished need for vengeance.
