The Three Witches, or weird sisters, from Macbeth are the topic today with Halloween approaching and many cauldrons bubbling. Be looking at their origins in the Fates and Norns as well as the twist George has given them in ASOIAF. Joining Joe is @shakespeareofthrones to read the quotes and on the follow up livestream on Halloween night. 

Jon Snow has been dodging death's cold grip for a long time in ASOIAF, but you may not realize how long the Others have been trying to kill him. In this video, we look at the rangers Waymar Royce, Will, and Gared from the AGOT Prologue and see what their deaths tell us about the rest of the series and Jon Snow's fate.

If you'd like to skip the intro go ahead to 17:00 minutes

Maester Merry, Melanie Lot 7, Sanrixian, and I take the concepts and ideas from the main video and blow them out as far as they can go. Talk about valyrian steel, Great empire of the Dawn, Braavos, the origins of the Others, and much more.

Major spoilers for Nightflyers! Turn back now! 

Why does a shard of obsidian in the heart of the Night King turn him into a cold god instead of killing him? Or protect Benjen Stark from becoming one of the mindless army of the dead? The answer comes from George R.R. Martin's short story Nightflyers and novel Dying of the Light: the whisperjewel.
