The Dragon's Interim (Fire & Blood VRR)
An episode with a lot of sisters… The Three Sisters, meaning the islands north of the Vale and South of White Harbor… and the Two Sisters, meaning Aegon’s Queens. Mighty though they are in war, and we’ll see more of that… along with their brother, it’s time to see how they are as rulers.

Ellaria Sand
No character represents the concept of revenge or the blood feud like the Red Viper. It is ironic, and quite intriguing that his paramour Ellaria Sand is quite likely the character who best represents opposition to these cycles of violence... and unlike Oberyn, she's still alive and still fighting for peace, while one of her daughters, named Elia for Oberyn's beloved sister, is joining the Game of Thrones.

Hardcore Houses
It has been said that tough places breed tough people, and it seems to be true even amongst the noble Houses of Westeros. We take a look at the families who have staked their claims in the most extreme and remote locations.

Unbowed (Fire & Blood VRR)
Most bent the knee to the overwhelming might of the dragons. This may have made Aegon overconfident, as he assumed the submission of Dorne and a few other holdouts. That they defied the Conqueror makes them all the braver, or perhaps all the more foolish.

Bend the Knee (Fire & Blood VRR)
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 legends appear to the characters and how they manifest within ASOIAF ~300 years later.

The Field of Fire (Fire & Blood VRR)
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 were the most famous family in Westeros, and the Lannisters had a castle even Balerion couldn't melt. Aegon had to be ruthless and delicate at the same time.

The Riverlands Reborn (Fire & Blood VRR)
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. As the Riverlands is reborn again, we take a look back 400 years to the last time they were ruled from within, and a war that pitted House Blackwood and the Storm King against the King of Rivers and Hills.

Craster & the Cold Gods
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!

Under the Dragons: House Hightower (1 - 45 AC)
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 that made the lives of the Lords of the Hightower very tricky, which of course makes for some great stories.
