From the Maester’s Desk – House of the Dragon’s Potential for Expansion and Diversity

Posted on February 28, 2020 by Morgoth · 80 Comments

“This is going to be the whitest show on television”. That was the gist of many reactions I saw across the web when HBO confirmed that the “Age of Heroes” prequel wasn’t getting picked up, moving forward instead with a series based on George R.R. Martin’s FIRE & BLOOD. And it’s not an unwarranted reaction. […]

From the Maester’s Desk: A Brief History of Swords and their Role in Season 8

Posted on April 20, 2019 by Morgoth · 48 Comments

There’s a saying around these parts that ‘what is dead may never die’ and with the final season already upon us the maester decided to pen a bit more words before we say goodbye to Game of Thrones as we know it. Today’s lesson: swords. Valyrian steel swords are the best weapons the living have […]

From the Maester’s Desk – The Show Must Go On

Posted on November 3, 2018 by Morgoth · 28 Comments

Recently, at the primetime Emmys red carpet, A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin expressed his opinion that Game of Thrones could’ve continued for at least five more seasons. “We could’ve gone 11, 12, 13 seasons” he told Variety. Show runners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss ultimately decided for 8 seasons, albeit […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: A Time for Wolves

Posted on September 2, 2018 by Morgoth · 182 Comments

Back in 2006 (how time flies!) author George R.R. Martin decided to change the title of the seventh ASOIAF novel, then named A Time for Wolves, to A Dream of Spring. I have to agree with him that the new title fits better- spring does come after winter after all- so it implies that there’s […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: The Royal Sidekicks

Posted on July 30, 2018 by Morgoth · 121 Comments

The night before the Battle of the Bastards, Davos Seaworth and Tormund Giantsbane had a conversation about the people they served, and how it didn’t really pay off. “Maybe that’s our mistake: believing in kings” said the Onion Knight. “Jon Snow is not a king” replied Tormund. But things have changed since then, on Game […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: The Spider and the Red Woman

Posted on June 20, 2018 by Morgoth · 98 Comments

Supporting characters can be important- sometimes they can even outshine some of the main players. Hodor wasn’t a top-billed character, but I’ll be damned if his demise didn’t hit me harder than that of poor Ned Stark. And in the game of thrones, apart from those who fight the battles, there are others who pull […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: The Arms of the Kraken

Posted on May 6, 2018 by Morgoth · 52 Comments

“We do not sow” Paraphrasing Olenna Tyrell, those are words that strike fear in the heart, because violence is implicit in them. These aren’t farmers who work the fields nor traders who will come to negotiate with you. When the Ironborn arrive to some place, it is to take everything they can by force, and […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: The Blood of the Dragon

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Morgoth · 98 Comments

Through seven seasons, Game of Thrones has boasted a huge ensemble cast of memorable characters, and though many of them are fan favorites or integral to the plot, the most important of them all (the ones the “Song of Ice and Fire” surely alludes to) are Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen. Both of them had humble […]

From the Maester’s Desk – Endgame: Lannisters Always Pay Their Debts

Posted on February 18, 2018 by Morgoth · 63 Comments

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones is still a year away at least, but in the meantime we have plenty of material to theorize about the endgame for the surviving characters of the series. Heroes, villains and innocent people have died in a plethora of different ways: poisoned, cut down, burned, stabbed, […]

From the Maester’s Desk – The World of Game of Thrones

Posted on December 23, 2017 by Morgoth · 27 Comments

George R.R. Martin’s world is vast and rich, like a proper fantasy setting should be. If you can believe in the world and feel like it’s a real place, then the author has done half of the job. From frozen wastelands to beautiful green riverlands and busy city capitals, there’s a lot of iconic sites, […]
