History of Westeros (Game of Thrones)
Come obsess over A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones with us! Our show is an enthusiastic and heavily-detailed look at the past, present and future of Westeros and the realms beyond.
House Fossoway: A Taste of Glory
Descended from Foss the Archer and Garth Greenhand, the Fossoways have a presence throughout history starting with the First Men all the way through to ASOIAF. They feature characters all over the spectrum: heroic Raymun who fought for Dunk and founded a new branch… and poisonous Ser Derrick, the Bad Apple, one of the Band of Nine who fought with Maelys the Monstrous Blackfyre. From Red to Green to Brown, it’s a house as delicious as it is punny.
