The Burning of King’s Landing
There are caches of wildfire hidden in the city of King’s Landing just waiting to go off. The inevitable violence between the factions still vying for the Iron Throne could ignite them and cause untold damage, perhaps destroying the entire city. Will the Mad King get his revenge after all? If so, who will set them off, and why?

The Defiance of Duskendale
(fully scripted) Barristan's finest hour, or was it? He's not sure saving Aerys was a good thing, but it sure was amazing. In many ways this story is more about Aerys and Tywin than the great white knight. This is the event that pushed Aerys into true madness, and led to the hiring of Varys. An episode that might cause you to re-think a few things about Robert's Rebellion at the very least.

Necromancy in ASOIAF
Bring out your dead! Though the term isn’t used often, necromancy as a concept has a major place in ASOIAF. It’s a deep topic: from wights beyond the Wall in the middle of nowhere to Ser Robert Strong at the Red Keep itself… From Beric Dondarrion and Lady Stoneheart to ancient tales as far east as Asshai and as far west as the Iron Isles, not to mention real world influences both historical and fictional.

The Ghost of High Heart
The Ghost of High Heart is a pale woman no more than 3 feet tall with red eyes and white hair so long it almost touches the ground. She lives in a grove of dead weirwoods, and her prophecies always come true. We delve into her identity, why she can see the future, and her connections to Jenny of Oldstones, Prince Rhaegar, the tragedy of Summerhall and the Brotherhood without Banners.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/

Lord Barth “Blacksword” Stark
The years following the death of the Old Man of the North were marked by instability at Winterfell as several of Cregan Stark’s sons ruled in short succession. One of those sons was Lord Barthogan, who came to be known as Barth Blacksword. His stint as ruler of Winterfell was a turning point in that era, and he faced a rebellion from Skagos. Was he called Blacksword because he wielded Ice in battle? Did he face unicorn riding cannibal warriors? A northern deep-dive!HitPointsNotRequired - www.twitch.tv/hitpointsnotrequiredNina - goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/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/howdiscord

The Killing of Kevan by Varys the Spider
The final event of ADWD was the assassination of Kevan Lannister by Varys. The Spider, in typical fashion, had the gall to apologize for the fatal crossbow bolt… and told him it wasn’t personal, it was political. Little comfort to a dying man, but hugely interesting to us readers! What does he expect to happen? We examine the various motives behind the killing of Kevan.Magic Mind - https://magicmind.com/HOWGM or code HOW25.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/howdiscord
