It's when he says "voll" instead of "wall" and "volvs" instead of "wolves, '"voomen"for "women" and "vaildlins" for "wildlings". I agree, but it makes it more interactive somehow- dunno why.

[@kakan113]

Sad that they didn't include the Manderly and Glover plotting against the Boltons in the show.

[@hoangduong4036]

Really? Can u tell me about that?

[@kakan113]

The manderlys and the Glovers are plotting behind the backs of the boltons, planning to swear themselves to Stannis, if Davos can locate and bring Rickon Stark to them, who they believe to be on Skagos as Theons former squire followed Osha as she took him there. Wyman Manderly only declares for the boltons as they hold his eldest son captive. Anyhow. Wyman has two Frey envoys at his hall in White Harbour. As soon as they sent word to release Wymans son from the twins, who got captured at the red wedding. Wyman kills them both, stuffs them into pies and takes them with him to Winterfell as he goes to attend Sansas wedding to Ramsay. At Winterfell he serves the pies to Roose and his frey allies while asking the bard to sing the song about the rat cook. During his whole stay, Wyman plots to aid Stannis in the upcoming battle by turning his cloak when the battle starts. Hence why I think the show should have given the cav charge at the battle of the boltons to the Manderlys.

[@PleasestopcallingmeDoctorImath]

kakan113 well i can see why they didnt include it Would seem repetitive (more human pies) And stannis dies fairly early

[@0307scott]

In the books Sansa is still in the Vale. Ramsay thinks he's marrying Arya Stark but its actually Jeyne Poole, Sansa's companion to Kings Landing and daughter of Ned's steward (can't remember his name) he got killed when Ned is arrested by Joffrey & Cersei.

Arya never do anything with any pies, they stole that from Wyman Manderly.. :/

[@joslenpettit5350]

It strikes me as odd that the Starks rule Sea Dragon Point. I feel like it should be another house there or maybe belong to the Glovers as it's part of the Wolfswood. I can't find anything to back that up though. Good work on the graphics, it's interesting to see the borders!

[@zeroinfinity9189]

I think it's reasonable for the Starks to rule Sea Dragon Point. For it to be a great House it needs its on vast lands for resources and farming. Otherwise, it has to relied on trade and lesser Houses' lands to survive. Which ideally is quite bad if they are to rebelling against you. So yeah, it does look odd on the map since House Starks is consider mighty having lesser Houses for support (food, soldiers, and tributes) but in reality you would want your own lands as back up.

[@MM-xm5vx]

House stark actually also rules Glover lands. The Glover’s are not lords but masters of their land essentially landed nights on stark lands. Same for the tallharts, so the starks rule all the land from sea dragons point to the white knife to the long lake.

If you play they game at the red wedding you can see some white hill men in the background fighting stark/bannermen soilders and also Bolton soilders fighting stark men and I also believe that Gared from the game will make his way back south to hardhome to met up with Jon/wildlings

[@nathanmatusek9244]

My main issue with the HBO series is how underwhelming they depict the castles and such. CGI is cheap these days. What gives.

[@kastro3301]

why don't you try and do it better

[@Raptorman0205]

What gives is the budget that shows have to allocate over hundreds of hours of footage. No matter how big, they'll never get the amount of money that big hollywood productions do, and those aforementioned hollywood productions have only to account for a 2 - 3 hour long feature. Expecting much more than what you get in the show is simply unrealistic in the extreme.

[@mikemiken1963]

Negan 77 Not very much info about hpuse Mazin. Show only, pledge to Jon/Sansa, their sigil is green and white chequey and they supplied 143 men to the B of the B. We don't even lnow their lords name. Maybe in the new season?

[@alawesy]

Michael Nightingale funny thing is we almost definitely see their lord in episodes 9 and 10. Theres a close up of a soldier in armour which is neither Hornwood or Mormont and he appears in episode 9 with all the other northern lords to declare Jon king. Also, I'm assuming they are somewhat like House Forrester and are lesser vassals within the Stark lands themselves since you can clearly see men in Stark Armour at BotB and Hornwood soldiers wear a different kind of armour to that as do the Mormonts.

Hi @scrivaTV, great video, thank you. I was wondering if you knew where House Hay is placed. I remember a scene on the show where Sir Davos and Stanis Baratheon were speaking at Dragon Stone, they were thinking of asking Houses to join their aid, and Sir Davos mentioned he'd ask House Hay ... Stanis then replied that "House Hay doesn't have enough men to raid a pantry" ...

[@ScrivaTV]

Thanks! Maybe they meant House Hayford from Crownlands, the ones whose lands Lannisters wanted to take for themselves. But I doubt it. Must be some minor house. Maybe some Hayfords vassals who rebelled against Lannister rule.

I always thought it was interesting how the Starks are the only ones that have an epithet pertaining to a season. Like the Lannisters say they're the king in the West, but the Starks are the only ones who have an epithet that predates the conquest of Aegon that's specifically pertains to an entire season, like if or when rather, winter comes there supposed to be the king. Like there's no King of Summer you know.

Wondering Spirit Rob Stark was naive But A Good Man I guess he thought that the boltons would side with the North cuz it was this the Kingdom's versus the North he had no idea didn't even Grant him a death by Honor

[@O.G.H.]

So you're suggesting he should distrust one of his strongest bannerman because of the feud between their houses a couple thousand years ago? Robb didn't even know Roose, he needed every man he could get since he had no time. That's why the Northern army was so small with around 18k men afair. He could get a larger army around 30k at least, but the North is as big a continent, it requires more time to rally all of em together, time which he didn't had because he wanted to rescue his father. Distrust was nothing he could afford when marching into war
