Shiera Seastar May 08, 2023

Show notes

A most mysterious but compelling character. A voracious reader who was highly intelligent, the most sought-after bachelorette of her era... and possibly a bit cruel. She could have married any man she wanted, but never did. We seek to answer or at least discuss: what kinds of magic did she practice? did she know about the prophecy of the Others? how did she feel about her brothers fighting the Blackfyre Rebellions? why did she remain single? what connections did she have to Lys? and what was her ultimate fate?

The Battle of the Trident Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Breaking down the importance, details, participants and impact of the decisive battle during Robert's Rebellion. From Jon Connington to Dany to Barristan to almost every Stark and most of the Lannister POV's, not to mention non-POV's who were there like Wyman Manderly, Roose Bolton and Elder Brother, we have a lot of accounts of what happened that day... but also quite a few mysteries, and several instances of dreams and prophecies which refer to it.

We are joined by Dr. Kavita Mudan Finn for an episode on Mushroom. The man, the myth, the legend...emphasis on myth and legend! This 'Mushroom-isode' is a discussion on sources - both the veracity of the tales and speculation on the existence and life of Mushroom, supposed chronicler of The Testimony of Mushroom, and the source of some of the events in House of the Dragon.
