History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)

Daenerys is told more than once that “to touch the light, you must pass beneath the shadow”. What is the shadow? We break down what the phrase means for Dany, and as a worldbuilding element associated with Asshai-by-the-Shadow. Let’s shed some light on the Shadowlands. We’ve got masks, magic, Mirri Maz Duur, Marwyn, and more. Rize: https://rize.io/?via=WESTEROS & code WESTEROS3 for 25% off payments within the first 3 months!

Scotland’s late medieval period was a Game of Thrones-like environment with powerful families fighting and scheming for power. A particularly notorious event - The Black Dinner - inspired GRRM to write the Red Wedding. We’ll examine all the gory details, politics, battles and intrigues plus other parallels beyond Stark, Frey and Lannister to characters like Bittersteel, Blackfish, Aenys Blackfyre and Unwin Peake.

What happened with Lyanna and Rhaegar before the Tower of Joy? Why did he kidnap her… or why did she elope with him, if that was the case? Did he make her his second bride? If so, why?

Thanks to Shakespeare, a cadre of historians, television shows and the compelling nature of the actual events that transpired, the era of the Wars of the Roses is one of the most famous periods in all of western history.

Baelor the Blessed’s surprising ascent to the Iron Throne was followed by a dizzying series of rulings unlike any King before or after. His reign was a decade dedicated to peace… unless it interfered with piety. King Baelor was a man of the seven, often called the Septon King, but he was also a burner of books and a man capable of consigning innocents to homelessness and starvation.

Baelor was one of the most exceptional and extreme dragon Kings to sit the Iron Throne, an example of both the best and the worst their line could produce. His devotion to peace was arguably second to none, but the same could be said for his Targaryen madness. This is a look at his early life and ascension featuring guest Nina Friel!
