This episode covers the life of Aegon IV the Unworthy, the man who fathered the Blackfyre Rebellions. A King who used the Iron Throne to serve his needs, caring little for the realm. He made life miserable for his sister Naerys and brother Aemon the Dragonknight while siring Bittersteel, Bloodraven, Shiera Seastar and Daemon Blackfyre himself. Published Feb 4, 2015.

Tarth, nicknamed the Sapphire Isle, is a beautiful island in Shipbreaker Bay, and has long been a part of the Stormlands. Eons ago they had their own kings with both First Man and Andal ancestry, but the rulers of Tarth have always been dubbed “the Evenstar”, and have resided in Evenfall Hall while maintaining strength at sea. Island folk are always at least a little different from mainlanders and they are no exception. This is the house of Brienne after all, but the story of House Tarth include...

Of all the huge surprises and payoff moments in A Storm of Swords, the Lady Stoneheart reveal at the end of the epilogue is perhaps the most unexpected. She’s a very dark character, hard to look at, hard to hear… but her intentions are clear: kill Freys, kill Lannisters, kill Boltons, find Arya. The BwB’s 2nd undead leader has steered them away from justice and helping the smallfolk, towards vengeance and murder. How will it go with her, Jaime and Brienne? What if she meets her uncle Blackfish? ...

The young leaders of Thebes retook their city from Sparta, but aimed for more. Nearby Athens had recovered much of the strength that enabled them to rule a Mediterranean empire.

But the rulers of those kingdoms had plans of their own. We’ll see a new generation of heroes emerge whose deeds live on 2400 ye...

At least two major geological events are attributed to the Hammer of the Waters - the breaking of the arm of Dorne and the flooding of the Neck. One or both of those were unleashed from Moat Cailin. Why there, and what else might it take to accomplish such sorcery? What are the implications of power on this scale? Perhaps it’s related to the magic that made the seasons irregular.
