House Tarth and the Sapphire Isle
12 januari 2026 · 2 uur 6 min
Tarth, nicknamed the Sapphire Isle, is a beautiful island in Shipbreaker Bay, and has long been a part of the Stormlands. Eons ago they had their own kings with both First Man and Andal ancestry, but the rulers of Tarth have always been dubbed “the Evenstar”, and have resided in Evenfall Hall while maintaining strength at sea. Island folk are always at least a little different from mainlanders and they are no exception. This is the house of Brienne after all, but the story of House Tarth includes another historical exception as well - Ser Duncan the Tall, not to mention a blood connection to House Targaryen.

King Jaehaerys II: The Targaryen Red Comet
29 december 2025 · 2 uur 34 min
The Red Comet burned brightly and briefly, bringing war and woe and prophecy. The life and reign of King Jaehaerys II is similarly described - short but meaningful. The last Blackfyre, the Ghost of High Heart, the Prince that was Promised. Not to mention the event that put him on the throne: Summerhall. This is the father of the Mad King, the grandfather of Daenerys and the man who gave Barristan his white cloak. Lees meer

Lady Stoneheart: The Revenant of the Riverlands
22 december 2025 · 2 uur 7 min
Of all the huge surprises and payoff moments in A Storm of Swords, the Lady Stoneheart reveal at the end of the epilogue is perhaps the most unexpected. She’s a very dark character, hard to look at, hard to hear… but her intentions are clear: kill Freys, kill Lannisters, kill Boltons, find Arya. The BwB’s 2nd undead leader has steered them away from justice and helping the smallfolk, towards vengeance and murder. How will it go with her, Jaime and Brienne? What if she meets her uncle Blackfish? Or is reunited with Arya? As a character cut from the show, Stoneheart aka Mother Merciless aka the Hangwoman has an arc and story purpose harder to guess at than most. Lees meer

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece III
15 december 2025 · 2 uur 34 min
The young leaders of Thebes retook their city from Sparta, but aimed for more. Nearby Athens had recovered much of the strength that enabled them to rule a Mediterranean empire. It is at this stage where our 3 powerful city states all aim for supremacy at the same time. Power seeks power, and advantageous alliances were to be forged with kingdoms to the north and east. But the rulers of those kingdoms had plans of their own. We’ll see a new generation of heroes emerge whose deeds live on 2400 years later. They had to contend with the likes of Agesilaus and Artaxerxes, the kings of Sparta and Persia who, like Walder Frey, stubbornly refused to die. Lees meer

The High Magic of Moat Cailin
24 november 2025 · 2 uur 11 min
At least two major geological events are attributed to the Hammer of the Waters - the breaking of the arm of Dorne and the flooding of the Neck. One or both of those were unleashed from Moat Cailin. Why there, and what else might it take to accomplish such sorcery? What are the implications of power on this scale? Perhaps it’s related to the magic that made the seasons irregular. Lees meer

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece II
17 november 2025 · 2 uur 5 min
The tale of three city states continues as Sparta maintains their seizure of Thebes while Athens looks to reclaim their maritime dominance. Persia has war on many fronts and ever-worsening palace intrigue, making their interference or lack thereof uncertain. While the old kings Agesilaus and Artaxerxes live on, a new generation of leaders, warriors, orators and innovators are emerging throughout Greece. The continuing stories of Chabrias, Parysatis, Iphicrates and Tirabazus - featuring their best ASOIAF counterparts - plus new characters added to the mix. Lees meer

Lord Edric Dayne: Squire to the Undead
10 november 2025 · 1 uur 50 min
Sent to be a page for Lord Beric Dondarrion at the age of 7, Edric Dayne was eventually raised to squire. Edric clearly took to the Lightning Lord, perhaps even looked up to him. Even after his father died, Edric stayed with Lord Beric, Even after Lord Beric died… Edric stayed with Lord Beric. He’s brave, shy and has a destiny difficult to divine due to his age and the 5 year gap. Nevertheless, he is Lord of Starfall, a house with compelling mysteries both ancient and recent. Lees meer

House Farwynd: The Sunset Skinchanger Raiders
3 november 2025 · 2 uur 8 min
No known people live further west than House Farwynd of Lonely Light, and few houses if any are considered as strange. Even other Ironborn regard them as mad and tell stories that sound like a Northern house. There’s talk of Farwynd skinchangers, connecting them to killer whales, walruses, sea lions and more… not to mention rumors of Farwynds breeding with seals to make selkies. They are the Sunset Skinchanger Raiders of Westeros, and they even have a second branch on Great Wyk, giving us much to dive into. Lees meer

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece
27 oktober 2025 · 3 uur 11 min
Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and their neighbors fought a seemingly endless series of civil wars worthy of Westeros. But just like the War of Five Kings, Greece should have been more concerned with uniting against a greater threat massing to the North - one capable of conquering or enslaving them all. This is a grand story of deeds as infamous as the Red Wedding, as heroically selfless as Dunk or Brienne, and as disturbing as the worst Targaryen incest or Bolton torture. Lees meer

The Prophecies of Patchface
13 oktober 2025 · 1 uur 57 min
Patchface drowned on his way to Westeros but somehow rose again on the beach near Storm’s End. The tragic and creepy fool sings of shadows, things under the sea, and undoubtedly at times, of the future. Here’s our attempt to interpret the songs of a man that even Melisandre fears. Lees meer

Who Knows the Song of Ice and Fire?
22 september 2025 · 2 uur 51 min
Prince Rhaegar believed his son was the Prince that Was Promised, that his was the song of ice and fire. But he was not the first to hear those ancient tones, not even the first in his family. In this one we consider who knows the dreams and prophecies now and centuries ago. We’ll compare different prophecies, histories, tales, songs, religious beliefs etc and see which elements are overlapping and which are unique. Lees meer

A Question of Quaithe
25 augustus 2025 · 2 uur 16 min
Several questions, actually. Who is the woman behind the red lacquer mask, and more importantly, what is she doing? Is she using a glass candle to speak to Dany? What does she mean by to go east you must go west and the rest? And perhaps most important of all, why does she repeatedly tell Dany to be a dragon? Our best answers within. Lees meer

Ragnarök vs The Long Night
11 augustus 2025 · 2 uur 26 min
Ancient legends and stories told of the Long Night have a lot in common with the Norse conception of Ragnarök, which begins with ice and ends in fire. Modern archaeology and volcanology have in turn added a tangible element to these tales, helping us understand how they came to exist in the first place. Join us for a deep dive into prophecy and cataclysm using both science and mythology, all wrapped in an ASOIAF package. Lees meer

House Umber: Broken Chains
28 juli 2025 · 2 uur 26 min
House Umber produces unusually large humans, so large that there might be some giant’s blood in their distant ancestry. The Greatjon was King Robb Stark’s most loyal Lord… and his Kingmaker. If he lives up to the Umber sigil - a giant breaking its chains - watch out Lannisters and Freys. But House Umber also has a dark side, both in their political dealings and their connection to the Old Gods. Join us for a deep dive into the history and future of the house that lies farther north than any other. Lees meer

The Winterfell Murders
14 juli 2025 · 2 uur 13 min
Boltons, Freys, Manderlys and more all packed into a snowbound Winterfell is a recipe for more than cannibal pies. It seems half the inhabitants of the castle hate each other, while the other half are probably just better at hiding it. Either way, there have been several murders. The collective rage and paranoia of the inhabitants increases with each successive death, increasing the odds of another killing. We’ll look into each murder to find the culprits and their motives. Is someone trying to set these houses against each other? Is there more to it? Lees meer

Daenys the Dreamer - The Targaryen Who Foresaw The Doom of Valyria
2 juni 2025 · 2 uur 8 min
Of all the dreamers in Targaryen history, it’s difficult to argue Daenys wasn’t the most crucial. It was her vision of the Doom that brought their House to safety on Dragonstone ahead of the extinction that took all of Valyria and every other dragonlord family. This episode is devoted to what we know of her life, the era in which she lived, and of course - her prophecies. Lees meer

The Summer Isles
26 mei 2025 · 3 uur 3 min
Lying far to the south of Westeros and Essos are the Summer Isles, representing the most southwesterly peoples of the known world. Famed for their shipbuilding and navigation skills, the Summer Islanders are also a unique culture in part due to their relative isolation and favorable geography. Despite this, they have a history with Valyria, Sothoryos and places unknown to Westeros. They might be the only culture we know of without memory or evidence of the Long Night, and they’ve come up at key times in the story for Sam, Daenerys and others. Notable characters include Jalabhar Xho, Quhuru Mo, Kojja Mo, Xhondo Dhoru, Black Balaq, Tal Toraq, Chataya, Alayaya, Alleras/Sarella Sand, and Bellegere Otherys. Lees meer

House Frey
19 mei 2025 · 2 uur 31 min
Though not an ancient House, the Freys are powerful and prominent in plotlines of all kinds, usually for all the red reasons. Wrong reasons, rather. But not only are they a big part of ASOIAF, they appear in some surprising places over the last few centuries as well. We examine their rapid rise from bridge builders on the Green Fork to players of the Game of Thrones. Lees meer

The Brotherhood Without Banners
12 mei 2025 · 2 uur 8 min
They began as King’s men on a mission - what seemed a clear cut case of heroes vs. villains. Even after the death of King Robert, the Brotherhood Without Banners remained a model of honor and duty, serving the common folk instead. But time and deprivation wore on them, and they slowly lost their sense of purpose, justice… and their humanity. Quite literally in 2 cases. This is their tragic, surprisingly supernatural story from Beric to Stoneheart, with theories on what’s to come for this outlaw band captained by the undead and guided by prophecy. Lees meer

There are caches of wildfire hidden in the city of King’s Landing just waiting to go off.

The Defiance of Duskendale
28 april 2025 · 1 uur 22 min
(fully scripted) Barristan's finest hour, or was it? He's not sure saving Aerys was a good thing, but it sure was amazing. In many ways this story is more about Aerys and Tywin than the great white knight. This is the event that pushed Aerys into true madness, and led to the hiring of Varys. An episode that might cause you to re-think a few things about Robert's Rebellion at the very least. (originally published October 10, 2020, remastered in April 2025). Lees meer

Necromancy in ASOIAF
21 april 2025 · 2 uur 25 min
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.

She lives in a grove of dead weirwoods, and her prophecies always come true. We delve into her identity, why she can see the future, and her connections to Jenny of Oldstones, Prince Rhaegar, the tragedy of Summerhall and the Brotherhood without Banners. Lees meer

Lord Barth “Blacksword” Stark
7 april 2025 · 2 uur 24 min
The years following the death of the Old Man of the North were marked by instability at Winterfell as several of Cregan Stark’s sons ruled in short succession. One of those sons was Lord Barthogan, who came to be known as Barth Blacksword. His stint as ruler of Winterfell was a turning point in that era, and he faced a rebellion from Skagos. Was he called Blacksword because he wielded Ice in battle? Did he face unicorn riding cannibal warriors? A northern deep-dive! Lees meer

The Killing of Kevan by Varys the Spider
17 maart 2025 · 2 uur 3 min
The final event of ADWD was the assassination of Kevan Lannister by Varys. The Spider, in typical fashion, had the gall to apologize for the fatal crossbow bolt… and told him it wasn’t personal, it was political. Little comfort to a dying man, but hugely interesting to us readers! What does he expect to happen? We examine the various motives behind the killing of Kevan. Lees meer

Stormborn: The Legendary Birth of Daenerys
20 januari 2025 · 1 uur 51 min
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.
