The first ever Dunk and Egg season is right there! Right there! GRRM and co are excited for the world to see it, so let’s nerd out on what we expect, what we’re hoping for and what we’ve seen in the trailers and other media.

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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

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.Intro - (0:02:04)First Description - (0:03:43)Early Life - (0:07:58)Marriage, Prophecy, & Summerhall - (0:54:52)Reign - (1:50:56)Death - (2:11:54)Legacy - (2:15:35)HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
2Sent 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.

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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
We went to our first NYCC this year, and were front row for the Spotlight on George RR Martin, and attended the live premiere of the first Dunk and Egg trailer and the follow-up panel which included Peter Claffey (Dunk), Dexter Sol Ansell (Egg), Ira Parker (showrunner), and GRRM. This episode has our usual shot by shot breakdown of the trailer, followed by what we saw and learned at New York Comic Con 2025!

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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

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.HoW Audience Survey - bit.ly/howsurveyBonus Eps & More - patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - klaradox.deFacebook Group - bit.ly/howfbDiscord - bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

I constantly say "oh sweet summer child"
As it turns out Dany was the ultimate usurper of the throne as it was rightfully Jon's or debatably Gendry's right to sentence her to death for her crimes. I like the way the show ended for most part. If Jon was the rightful king he had the right to abdicate and allow the new king selection process. Hopefully GRRM will end the books that is more satisfying for those who did not like the ending.
Drogon knew Jon had the choice to kill Dany or join her and he deemed him worthy to make that decision because he was a just hero and/or the true king. He who passes the sentence must swing the sword (or thrust the dagger in this case). Jon was the rightful king and death was his sentence to hand down. Assuming the dragon's didn't know what is going on is selling them short, especially considering Tolkien's dragons who GRRM was clearly inspired by.
what an idiot
You heard it right here! Gendry will end up on the Throne. Think long and hard, I have, its solid.
Couldn't the memory of who pushed him out of the window be what Bran has lost and what he needs to recover? Because he has to save Jamie's life, so that Jamie can kill Cersi.
Jon saying farewell to Ghost is symbolic of him saying goodbye to his Stark side. problem is later his dragon died too ..
great review, very balanced and intelligent. a good relief from all the reeeeeing
If anyone were to get Ghost it should be Tormund. He's Jon's best friend. Jon chained Tormund instead of having him killed. Then freed him. Tormund and Jon fought at the fall of Hardhome. Tormund came back and stormed Castle Black after he heard he was killed. Avenging him. They fought together in the Battle of the Bastards and The battle of Winterfell. He's his best friend. You give your dog, to your best friend. Not your cold staring sister
