Another one of the kingdoms that was briefly touched on in the first season... in the 2nd episode of season 2 they touch on another one of those battling for the crown (the iron islands)

hopefully this will help clear it up a little and help you get a grasp of things

Code: Select all

The North

Ruled by House Stark from the castle of Winterfell. Bastards born in the North take the surname 'Snow'. The principal port and city of the North is White Harbor. The North is the largest of the regions of Westeros but also the most sparsely-populated, due the harshness of the long winters and the huge distances between holdfasts or towns. The North also includes the Wall and the lands administered by the Night's Watch, which are technically independent but are almost always thought of in conjunction with the North.
The Vale of ArrynEdit

The Vale of Arryn
Ruled by House Arryn from the castle known as the Eyrie. Bastards born in the Vale take the surname 'Stone'. The principal port and city of the Vale is Gulltown. The Vale is dominated and mostly covered by the Mountains of the Moon and its offshoot chains. Its borders are prowled by hostile hill tribes.
The RiverlandsEdit

The Riverlands
Ruled by House Tully from the castle of Riverrun. Bastards born in the Riverlands take the surname 'Rivers'. The principal ports of the Riverlands are Seagard, Saltpans and Maidenpool. Notable towns include Stoney Sept. The Riverlands are dominated by the mighty River Trident and its numerous tributaries, including the Tumblestone. The Riverlands, lying close to the centre of the continent, have been the site for battles and conflicts throughout the history of Westeros. Once an independent kingdom, they were overrun by the ironborn a century before Aegon's invasion and are thus not counted as an eighth kingdom, despite their significant size and population. The Riverlands are, as their name suggests, one of the most fertile and populous regions in Westeros, which is in many ways the only reason they have been consistently able to recover from the frequent wars that cross their borders.
The WesterlandsEdit

The Westerlands

Ruled by House Lannister from the castle of Casterly Rock. Bastards born in the Westerlands take the surname 'Hill'. The principal city and port of the Westerlands is Lannisport. The Westerlands are noted for their hills and low mountains which are rich in silver and gold, providing House Lannister and their vassals with immense wealth.
The Iron IslandsEdit

The Iron Islands (come to prominence in S02E02)
Ruled by House Greyjoy from the castle of Pyke. Bastards born on the Iron Islands take the surname 'Pyke'. The major islands of the chain are Great Wyk, Little Wyk, Harlaw, Blacktyde, Orkmont, Saltcliffe and Pyke itself. The Iron Islands are rain-lashed and cold, home to a hardy, warrior race known as the ironborn. They live for warfare and reaving, and are the most troublesome and rebellious of the Iron Throne's subjects.
The CrownlandsEdit

The Crownlands (kingslanding, geoffery)
Ruled directly by the King on the Iron Throne from the city of King's Landing, the largest city in Westeros and the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. Bastards born in the Crownlands take the surname 'Waters'. Other notable townships of the Crownlands include Duskendale and Rosby. The Crownlands stretch along the shores of Blackwater Bay and also across several islands in the Narrow Sea, such as Dragonstone, Driftmark and Claw Isle. The islands are separately administered from Dragonstone.
The StormlandsEdit

The Stormlands
Ruled by House Baratheon from the castle of Storm's End. Bastards born in the Stormlands take the surname: 'Storm'. The Stormlands include several offshore islands, most notably Estermont and Tarth. It is ranks moderately among the other regions in terms of population and wealth. The Stormlands are wracked by frequent storms off the Narrow Sea, and experience significant rainfall. The Stormlands are also one of the most densely wooded areas in Westeros, particularly south of the Neck. It contains not only the Rainwood (which covers the southern half of the Stormlands), but also shares much of the Kingswood (spilling across the northern border with the Crownlands). As a result, its climate is in general that of a temperate rainforest.
The ReachEdit

The Reach

Ruled by House Tyrell from the castle of Highgarden. Bastards born in the Reach take the surname 'Flowers'. The principal city and port of the Reach is Oldtown, the second-largest city of Westeros. The Reach is the second-largest region of Westeros and by far the most fertile and populous, allowing the Tyrells to field vast armies and also results in them being wealthier than any other family bar the Lannisters. The Reach also includes several offshore islands, such as the Shield Islands and the Arbor.
DorneEdit


Dorne
Ruled by House Martell from the castle of Sunspear. Bastards born in Dorne take the surname 'Sand'. The prinicpal ports of Dorne are Sunspear itself and the Planky Town at the mouth of the Greenblood. The people of Dorne are isolated from the rest of Westeros by the Sea of Dorne and the Red Mountains, giving them a greater sense of national identity than most of the other peoples of Westeros. Since Robert's Rebellion and the murder of several prominent Dornish nobles during the Sack of King's Landing, the Dornish have pursued a more isolationist path.

agreed definitely, but seeing how they cut all the cool battles (the battle when rob captures jamie, the battle with tyrion) in season 1, i wouldnt be surprised if they leave a lot of the awesome stuff out for budget reasons...
also based on the second season first episode i feel i'm gonna disagree with the choice they made for most of the actors they casted

case in point: melisandre, i pictured her as quite the femme fatale, the actress they chose is butters imo

Unless there's some supernatural wicked special effects related to it I don't like that "god of light" bullshit it's cliché as fuck. I should read the books though

uh? when is her background story told ? i dont remember reading about that, maybe i missed something, but i dont feel she's meant to be butters, more like she's gorgeous but there's something off about her that is kinda threatening or something

anyway, this is who i would have casted for the role:

pkay is confusing melisandre with asha, theon's sister. melisandre is the red priest bruv.

I think the red head is well fit personally...they got loads of attractive women in this year...makes even better.

Watched episode 2 and I am enjoying it so far! I think it's leading up to something huge (I'm yet to read the book but they are next on my list after I've done reading Northern Lights trilogy).
