Though not an ancient House, the Freys are powerful and prominent in plotlines of all kinds, usually for all the red reasons. Wrong reasons, rather. But not only are they a big part of ASOIAF, they appear in some surprising places over the last few centuries as well. We examine their rapid rise from bridge builders on the Green Fork to players of the Game of Thrones.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 Brotherhood Without Banners
They began as King’s men on a mission - what seemed a clear cut case of heroes vs. villains. Even after the death of King Robert, the Brotherhood Without Banners remained a model of honor and duty, serving the common folk instead. But time and deprivation wore on them, and they slowly lost their sense of purpose, justice… and their humanity. Quite literally in 2 cases. This is their tragic, surprisingly supernatural story from Beric to Stoneheart, with theories on what’s to come for this outlaw band captained by the undead and guided by prophecy.Rize: https://rize.io/?via=WESTEROS & code WESTEROS3 - 25% off on all payments within first 3 months!Steven Attewell - racefortheironthrone.wordpress.comBonus 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 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.
