DAGGERS, BLADES AND ARROWHEADS. DURING THE AGE OF HEROES IT WAS ALSO
RECORDED BY THE NIGHT'S WATCH THAT THE CHILDREN OF THE FOREST GAVE THE BLACK

RE
MAKE THEIR CANDLES.

WHERE HE QUIPS THAT HE COULD BUY A DOZEN BARRELS OF EXPENSIVE
DORNISH WINE WITH 100 ‘Y’. BY AVERAGING THE PRICES OF FINE WINE IN THE
REAL WORLD, AND ASSUMING THAT WESTEROS USES THE STANDARD 225
LITER WINE BARREL, THIS EXCHANGE RATE IS CALCULATED.
• 1 Y = 11,760 X

10. ANS: X= COPPER PENNY
Y= GOLD DRAGON
• A COPPER PENNY IS ROUGHLY EQUAL TO A POUND STERLING

THEMSELVES AND IN A CONFLICT KNOWN AS THE W FOR THE DAW THE WHITE WALKERS
AR
N,
WERE DEFEATED AND DRIVEN BACK INTO THE UTTERMOST NORTH.

• THE PROPHECY SAYS THAT, AZOR AHAI RAISES FROM THE PLACE OF STONE
AND WILDERNESS AS IS DRAGONSTONE WHICH MAKES MELLISANDRE THINKS
THAT HE IS ‘THE ONE’… BUT WE HAVE TO SEE ABOUT THAT!!

15. 7. LOTS OF SONGS ON THE WOMEN FROM
THIS PLACE… ID X.
• ‘X’ WAS A SOVEREIGN KINGDOM BEFORE THE INVASION OF AEGON THE
CONQUEROR, AND WEATHERED HIS ATTACK TO REMAIN ONE AFTERWARDS,
THE ONLY ONE OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS TO RETAIN ITS INDEPENDENCE. IT
JOINED THE SEVEN KINGDOMS THROUGH PEACEFUL MARRIAGE ALLIANCE
NEARLY TWO CENTURIES LATER, ONLY ONE CENTURY BEFORE ROBERT'S
REBELLION. AS A RESULT OF JOINING THROUGH MARRIAGE AND NOT
CONQUEST, X WAS ALLOWED TO KEEP MANY OF ITS LOCAL CUSTOMS AND
LAWS, SUCH AS EQUAL INHERITANCE LAWS FOR MALE AND FEMALE HEIRS.
DUE TO THESE DIFFERENT ETHNIC, LEGAL, AND POLITICAL FACTORS, THE
PEOPLE ARE VERY INDEPENDENTLY MINDED, WITH A STRONGER SENSE OF
"NATIONAL IDENTITY" THAN MANY OF THE OTHER SEVEN KINGDOMS.

16. ANS: DORNE
• EVEN THE WILDINGS WHO ARE THE FARTHEST AWAY FROM DRONE(WHICH IS
THE SOUTHERN MOST OF THE 7 KINGDOMS) SING OF THE DORNISH WOMEN!!!
• IT IS EVEN CONSIDERED AS A TROPHY TO ‘SPEND A NIGHT’ WITH A DORNISH
WOMAN…

17. 8. IDENTIFY THE CITY(OF SORT)
• IT LIES CLOSE TO THE MOTHER OF MOUNTAINS AND A LAKE KNOWN AS THE WOMB
OF THE WORLD, FROM WHERE, ACCORDING TO MYTH, THE FIRST MAN EMERGED
RIDING THE FIRST HORSE.
• THE CITY IS BOTH VERY LARGE AND VERY SMALL: IT IS PHYSICALLY LARGE
ENOUGH TO HOLD EVERY ONE IF THEY RETURN ALL AT ONCE (FOR SPECIAL
RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES, ETC.). DAENERYS ESTIMATES THAT IT PHYSICALLY HAS
TEN TIMES AS MANY BUILDINGS AS PENTOS DOES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE RARELY
MORE THAN A FEW PEO PLE STOPPING IN THE CITY AT ANY ONE TIME, BEFORE
LEAVING AGAIN TO FIND PLUNDER. AS A RESULT, THE PERMANENT POPULATION OF
THE CITY ISN'T MUCH COMPARED TO ONE OF THE FREE CITIES OR TO A
WESTEROSI CITY SUCH AS KING'S LANDING.

18. ANS: VHAS DORTHRAK
• THE HOLY CITY OF THE DORTHRAKI, IT IS ALSO THEIR MARKET PLACE,
RELIGIOUS CITY AND RESTING GROUND. THE RULES OF THE CITY COMMAND

WIFE…

• DURING THE GREYJOY REBELLION, HE WAS THE SECOND MAN RIGHT BEHIND
THE THOROS OF MYR TO BREACH THE LINES OF THE IRONBORN TO ENTER
PYKE ENABLING THE COMBINED FORCES OF STAG AND THE WOLF TO BRING
DOWN THE KRAKEN. FOR HIS BRAVERY AND VALOR, HE WAS KNIGHTED BY
KING ROBERT. HE WAS WED TO LYSANNE HIGHTOWER A VERY BEAUTIFUL
WOMAN WITH EXPENSIVE TASTES AND SOON THE MAN WAS COMMITTING
ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES TO SATISFY HER. THE LORD PARAMOUNT CAME TO KNOW
OF HIS TREACHERY AND WANTED TO EXECUTE HIM FOR HIS ACTIONS BUT
RATHER HE FLED TO THE EASTEROES. HIS WIFE ELOPED WITH A WEALTHY
MERCHANT FROM WHITE HARBOR.
• FOR HIS ACTIONS, HE WAS STRIPPED OF HIS TITLES AND LANDS AND HIS
FATHER WAS SENTENCED TO THE WALL. HE IS CALLED _________ THE ANDAL
BY THE DOTHRAKI, AS THEY ASSUME THAT ALL PEOPLE FROM WESTEROS ARE
ANDALS. HOWEVER, HE IS A NORTHMAN, DESCENDED FROM THE FIRST MEN.

22. ANS: SER JORAH MORMOUNT
