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.
Melisandre - Before Westeros
The Red Woman of Asshai, a shadowbinder and priestess of R’hllor. Her age is uncertain but her focus on prophecy is not. We delve into her past and how it made her who she is - both through natural and supernatural means, where and how she learned her abilities, the mystery of her glowing ruby, how old she might really be, and so much more.
