We are back and live this Sunday at 3pm eastern. With Harrenhal a smoking ruin and the largest army ever seen in Westeros defeated with ease, many rulers decide, at last, that they have no choice but to bend the knee to Aegon the Conqueror. We examine the events of the time as well as how these l...

The largest army Westeros has ever seen vs. Vhagar, Meraxes and Balerion - the only time the three fought together. It's shock and awe with dragons... but it's not the battle that we consider the best part of this story. He wasn't taking on a hated tyrant, rather quite the opposite. The Gardeners...

Guest Jim McGeehin joins us to discuss a unique battle! Argilac insulted Orys, claiming he was unworthy of his daughter Argella. So Aegon's champion came to prove otherwise... with an army and Queen Rhaenys riding Meraxes. But even a dragon cannot match the rains of the Stormlands at their worst,...

The Riverlords kneel to Aegon the Conqueror just outside of still-smoldering Harrenhal, and he bestows new titles and castles while dividing the kingdom of Isles of Rivers.

A name that evokes... well, quite a lot. None of it good, but much of it mysterious. Someone with such a connection to the Others, unlike any we've seen elsewhere, deserves a look, as awkward as it may be. Few characters leave as many unanswered questions!

In this episode we've got the scheming of Lord Donnel the Delayer, the end of Maegor and the reigns of Jaehaerys and Viserys. Questions regarding the siege and death of Septon Moon, the voyage of the Sun Chaser and Prince Daeron the Daring. Of course there's some Otto, Alicent and Hoberrrt too! 2023-07-24 11:34:47 +0000 UTC View Post
The second part of our coverage on House Hightower under the reign of the Targaryens. Part 1 covered 1-45 AC, ending during Maegor's reign, and part 2 will follow the Hightowers through the decades leading to the Dance of the Dragons. Join us this Sunday at 3 pm eastern!

Aegon I, Aenys and Maegor were all crowned at Oldtown, and all of them embroiled the city in the doings of the newly forged Iron Throne. The largest city in the realm and center of the Faith underwent serious changes after the coming of the dragons. The various schemes and matters of religion tha...
