History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)

In this installment of our Parallel Lives series, we step outside of ASOIAF and real world history. We will compare and contrast the Blackfyres and the Mandalorians. We will look at their history, their culture, and more. Video available on Spotify!

A most mysterious but compelling character. A voracious reader who was highly intelligent, the most sought-after bachelorette of her era... and possibly a bit cruel. She could have married any man she wanted, but never did. We seek to answer or at least discuss: what kinds of magic did she practice? did she know about the prophecy of the Others? how did she feel about her brothers fighting the Blackfyre Rebellions? why did she remain single? what connections did she have to Lys? and what was her ultimate fate?
