A Question of Quaithe
Several questions, actually. Who is the woman behind the red lacquer mask, and more importantly, what is she doing? Is she using a glass candle to speak to Dany? What does she mean by to go east you must go west and the rest? And perhaps most important of all, why does she repeatedly tell Dany to be a dragon? Our best answers within.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

Ragnarök vs The Long Night
Ancient legends and stories told of the Long Night have a lot in common with the Norse conception of Ragnarök, which begins with ice and ends in fire. Modern archaeology and volcanology have in turn added a tangible element to these tales, helping us understand how they came to exist in the first place. Join us for a deep dive into prophecy and cataclysm using both science and mythology, all wrapped in an ASOIAF package.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

House Umber: Broken Chains
House Umber produces unusually large humans, so large that there might be some giant’s blood in their distant ancestry. The Greatjon was King Robb Stark’s most loyal Lord… and his Kingmaker. If he lives up to the Umber sigil - a giant breaking its chains - watch out Lannisters and Freys. But House Umber also has a dark side, both in their political dealings and their connection to the Old Gods. Join us for a deep dive into the history and future of the house that lies farther north than any other.Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/

The Winterfell Murders
Boltons, Freys, Manderlys and more all packed into a snowbound Winterfell is a recipe for more than cannibal pies. It seems half the inhabitants of the castle hate each other, while the other half are probably just better at hiding it. Either way, there have been several murders. The collective rage and paranoia of the inhabitants increases with each successive death, increasing the odds of another killing. We’ll look into each murder to find the culprits and their motives. Is someone trying to set these houses against each other? Is there more to it?Bonus Eps & More - www.patreon.com/historyofwesterosShirts & Stickers - historyofwesteros.threadless.comwww.historyofwesteros.comIntro/Maps - https://klaradox.deFacebook Group - https://bit.ly/howfbDiscord - https://bit.ly/howdiscordNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/
