Prince Aemon the Dragonknight (Part 2) Feb 13, 2023

Show notes

The story of Prince Aemon the Dragonknight was too big for us to fit in one episode, but he wasn't too big for the cage that House Wyl put him in... which is where we left you hanging, with Aemon hanging over that pit of vipers. In this episode we discuss his rescue, and his rescue of his rescuer. This is his time as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, the era of King Baelor the Blessed, then Aemon's own father King Viserys II, then his unworthy brother Aegon IV with his beloved sister Naerys as Queen... and finally, his heroic death.

Thoros of Myr Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

A (book only) look at a compelling character! From Myr to King's Landing, from the Red Temple to the Red Keep, from Aerys to Robert, from king's man to outlaw, from Gregor to Sandor, from wildfire swords to the flames of R'hllor, from skipping prayers to raising the dead, from cynic to faithful, from Beric to Stoneheart, from justice to survival... It's been a long journey for Thoros, and the Lord of Light is not finished with him yet.

The Basilisk Isles Jan 16, 2023

Show notes

Pirates, corsairs, monsters, ancient ruins, dark gods, disappearing Ironborn, the next great swordsman(?), Valyria vs. Old Ghis, oily black stone and proximity to the dangers, wealth and proximity of Sothoryos... even the name "Basilisk Isles" sounds cool. This one is fun!

Poisoned Gifts Dec 26, 2022

Show notes

When is a gift not a gift? Euron's gifts are poisoned, but there are so many other examples. Crowns, high honors, famous swords and even wealth can "poison" the owner, and the pursuit of such can be devastating to the pursuer.
