Three Baratheon Bastards ? Gendry, Edric Storm and Mya Stone
According to Maggy the Frog, King Robert fathered 16 bastards. But three of them are of particular importance to ASOIAF in ways we have yet to see. Three of these royal children have endgames for us to speculate on. Mya Stone, Edric Storm and Ser Gendry. We?ll tell each of their stories individually, including why he?s not Gendry Waters, and then we?ll delve into how their fates are intertwined and how that might manifest.Auphonic - https://auphonic.com?source=historyofwesteros

He was born when Aegon the Unworthy sat the Iron Throne and Aemon the Dragonknight was Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, an interesting time to say the least!

House Tarth and the Sapphire Isle
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 includes another historical exception as well - Ser Duncan the Tall, not to mention a blood connection to House Targaryen.

Lady Stoneheart: The Revenant of the Riverlands
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? Or is reunited with Arya? As a character cut from the show, Stoneheart aka Mother Merciless aka the Hangwoman has an arc and story purpose harder to guess at than most.

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece III
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. It is at this stage where our 3 powerful city states all aim for supremacy at the same time. Power seeks power, and advantageous alliances were to be forged with kingdoms to the north and east. 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 years later. They had to contend with the likes of Agesilaus and Artaxerxes, the kings of Sparta and Persia who, like Walder Frey, stubbornly refused to die.

The High Magic of Moat Cailin
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.

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece II
The tale of three city states continues as Sparta maintains their seizure of Thebes while Athens looks to reclaim their maritime dominance. Persia has war on many fronts and ever-worsening palace intrigue, making their interference or lack thereof uncertain. While the old kings Agesilaus and Artaxerxes live on, a new generation of leaders, warriors, orators and innovators are emerging throughout Greece. The continuing stories of Chabrias, Parysatis, Iphicrates and Tirabazus - featuring their best ASOIAF counterparts - plus new characters added to the mix.

No known people live further west than House Farwynd of Lonely Light, and few houses if any are considered as strange. Even other Ironborn regard them as mad and tell stories that sound like a Northern house. There?s talk of Farwynd skinchangers, connecting them to killer whales, walruses, sea lions and more? not to mention rumors of Farwynds breeding with seals to make selkies. They are the Sunset Skinchanger Raiders of Westeros, and they even have a second branch on Great Wyk, giving us much to dive into.

Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece
Athens, Sparta, Thebes, and their neighbors fought a seemingly endless series of civil wars worthy of Westeros. But just like the War of Five Kings, Greece should have been more concerned with uniting against a greater threat massing to the North - one capable of conquering or enslaving them all. This is a grand story of deeds as infamous as the Red Wedding, as heroically selfless as Dunk or Brienne, and as disturbing as the worst Targaryen incest or Bolton torture.

The Winterfell Murders
Boltons, Freys, Manderlys and more all packed into a snowbound Winterfell is a recipe for more than cannibal pies. It seems half the inhabitants of the castle hate each other, while the other half are probably just better at hiding it. Either way, there have been several murders. The collective rage and paranoia of the inhabitants increases with each successive death, increasing the odds of another killing. We?ll look into each murder to find the culprits and their motives. Is someone trying to set these houses against each other? Is there more to it?
