The Dragon's Undoing

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/06/03

When the Blacks and Greens went to war in the year 129, it had been over 80 years since a dragon had fought a dragon… The hard won lessons learned during the days of the Freehold, Aegon’s Conquest and the subsequent wars involving Maegor the Cruel had apparently been forgotten during the long peace since. In this episode we highlight that lost wisdom ourselves. We’ll showcase the destructive power of dragons throughout known history, a power the Targaryens took for granted to the peril of all

Lomas Longstrider & the Wonders Made by Gods

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/05/13

Long before humankind existed, let alone raised structures of note, the gods shaped the planet’s natural wonders via their whims and wars for people like Lomas Longstrider to discover and catalogue for others. In this companion episode to Lomas Longstrider and the Wonders Made By Man, we explore the natural wonders of the world according to his book “Wonders”. He named 7, but we only know 1, so we’ll be going through the best candidates from all over the world to make our guesses! Bonus Eps &

Lomas Longstrider & the Wonders Made by Man

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/05/06

When we think of explorers we think of the Sea Snake and Elissa Farman, who had an urge to discover. Or Nymeria and the Rhoynish refugees, who were forced into seeking new lands. Notably these names are all nobles. They had their own ships, their own crews, their own funding, and all the security and safety that brought with it. Our subject today is Lomas Longstrider, who explored farther and wider than any of the above individuals, without any of their advantages. But even more interesting than the

The Missing

2024/04/22

Throughout the series, a large number of characters have gone missing. Some have run off of their own accord, others perhaps seized against their will. Some we last saw in great danger while others, well, they’re not so easy to categorize. This episode is dedicated to those characters who have been on the pages but don’t have known locations, let alone fates. This includes a very wide variety of individuals large and small like Tyrek Lannister, Stonesnake, Tysha, Tanselle, and Benjen Stark.Bonus

House Karstark: The Sun of Winter

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/04/15

A thousand years ago, Karlon Stark put down a rebel lord and was rewarded with lands and a castle he named Karhold. The Karhold Starks became House Karstark, greatly benefiting Winterfell and the reverse to the Dreadfort. Over the centuries, the Starks and Karstarks would intermarry several times, renewing their ancient ties through marriage alliance. But the events of ASOIAF have seen great change, as Rickard Karstark went from staunch ally of King Robb Stark to the execution block. There’s now a

The Horrors at Hardhome

2024/04/08

Once the closest thing to a town in the lands beyond The Wall, something terrible and mysterious befell Hardhome about 600 years ago. It has since become an overgrown ruin, shunned and considered accursed… Yet despite that, it is suddenly important again - as hordes of refugees flee there, following the dreams of a woods witch. As reports reach Jon of wights in the woods and waters, dreams reach Melisandre of an impossibly cold mist turning the Free Folk into skulls. What the heck happened all those

A Song of Ice and Fire and Rome

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/03/25

“How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” is a fun question that went viral in 2024, but in this episode we’re concerned more with how often GRRM thought about Rome (and not just the empire) when writing ASOIAF. We’ll also take a few minutes to talk about how HBO’s Rome was pivotal to the making of HBO’s GoT.

We’ll delve into his days on the street, learning to steal and survive, to the mummer’s troupe and being sold for a ritual that maimed him.

The First House of the Dragon (Fire & Blood VRR)

History of Westeros (Game of Thrones) ·

2024/02/26

Aegon and Visenya faced no true threats to their reign from the outside, but the biggest problems can start from within, and even the first House of the Dragon was troubled by such. An abundance of Targaryen births late in the Conqueror’s reign set off issues of succession, marriage, dragon-bonding and other matters of power and status. Meanwhile King’s Landing was growing even faster just outside their front door… and even though more dragons were hatching as well, that front door started to look a

Did Aegon actually rule well, or was everyone just afraid of him? Did his policies lead to the many civil conflicts that came less than a generation after his death?Go to https://magicmind.com/westeros and get up to 56% off your subscription for the next 10 days with code WESTEROS20.
