The odyssey of Nymeria and the Rhoynar is one of the great Westerosi legends and we begin our exploration of the third great migration from Essos with a look at Rhoynish history and culture, as well as their inevitable bloody clash with dragonlords of Old Valyria.

EPISODE 82 – THE ANDALS

Posted on November 30, 2023 | Leave a comment

We continue our loose series on the various ethnic groups of Westeros with a deep dive on the Andals and the Andal invasion, the second mass human migration from Essos into Westeros, and arguably the most impactful. We look at their history, culture, religion and the reasons they went to Westeros and why they succeeded once they got there, tracing the course and impact of their invasion region by region across the continent.

EPISODE 81 – ARYA, PART 4

Posted on October 23, 2023 | Leave a comment

Covering Arya’s arc from her final post-Red Wedding chapters in ASOS, through her five chapters set in Braavos, we explore the development of Arya’s unique skill set — skinchanging, face-changing and other disciplines taught at the House of Black and White, combined with an undiminished need for vengeance. Along the way we identify the many ways that Arya Stark remains Arya even as she insists she has become No-One.
