The Black Bat of Harrenhal - House Lothston
House Lothston ruled Harrenhal during what is arguably the darkest portion of its 300 year history… Given what Arya and others experienced there, that’s really saying something, and when Brienne carries a Lothston shield, she is repeatedly greeted with grim reactions. Join us for a look at a House accused of blood magic, child abduction, treason, cannibalism, madness, and scandalous relations with none other than House Targaryen.

We’ll examine all the gory details, politics, battles and intrigues plus other parallels beyond Stark, Frey and Lannister to characters like Bittersteel, Blackfish, Aenys Blackfyre and Unwin Peake.
