Game of Thrones is an American fantasy drama television series created for HBO by David Benioff and D.B.Weiss as showrunners and main writers.It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire,George R.R.Martins series of fantasy novels,The series,set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos at the end of a decade-long summer,interweaves several plot lines.The first follows the members of several noble houses in a civil war for the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms;the second covers the rising threat of the impending winter and the Southerners fear of the legendary creatures and fierce peoples of the North;the third chronicles the attempts of the exiled last scion of the realms deposed ruling dynasty to reclaim the throne.Through its exploration of the ambitions and morals of its many characters,the series explores issues of social hierarchy,religion,loyalty,corruption,civil war,crime,and punishment.A Song of Ice and Fire is set primarily in the fictional Seven Kingdoms of Westeros,a large,South American-sized continent with an ancient history stretching back some twelve thousand years.A detailed history reveals how seven kingdoms came to dominate this continent,and then how these seven nations were united as one by Aegon the Conqueror,of House Targaryen.Some 283 years after Aegons conquest,the Targaryens are overthrown in a civil war and King Robert Baratheon,backed primarily by his friend Lord Eddard Stark and foster father Lord Jon Arryn,takes the Iron Throne.The novels,which begin fifteen years later,follow the fall-out from this event across three major storylines,set not only in Westeros but on the eastern continent as well.seven kingdomsthe Kingdom of the Norththe Kingdom of Mountain and Valethe Kingdom of the Isles and Rlversthe

themselves,chronicles a many-sided struggle for the Iron Throne that develops after King Roberts death.The throne is claimed by his son Joffrey,supported by his mothers powerful family,House Lannister,but Roberts brother Stannis claims(correctly)that Roberts children are illegitimate,and claims the throne himself,to a less-than-enthusiastic response.Roberts youngest brother,Renly,also claims the throne with the support of the extremely powerful House Tyrell.Whilst these three claimants battle for the throne itself,Robb Stark,Lord Eddard Starks heir,is proclaimed King in the North as the northmen and their allies in the Riverlands seek to break away from the Iron Throne and rule themselves.Similarly,Balon Greyjoy also claims the throne of his own region,the Iron Islands,and likewise seeks independence.The War of the Five Kings is the principal storyline in the second and third novels,with its fall-out and repercussions affecting much of what follows.The second storyline is set on the extreme northern border of Westeros.Here,eight thousand years ago,a huge wall of ice and gravel was constructed by spells and by hand to defend Westeros from the threat of The Others,a semi-mythical race of ice creatures living in the uttermost north.The 300-mile-long,700-foot-tall Wall is defended by the Sworn Brotherhood of the Nights Watch,which by the time of the novels is badly under-strength and under threat by the human wildlings or free folk who live to the north.This storyline strand follows Jon Snow,bastard son of Lord Eddard Stark,as he rises through the ranks of the Watch and learns the true nature of the threat from the north.By the end of the third volume,this storyline has become more entangled with the civil war to the south as well.The third storyline is set on the huge eastern continent and follows the adventures of Daenerys Targaryen,the last(known)scion of House Targaryen and another claimant to the Iron Throne.Daeneryss story shows her growing rise to power,from a near-penniless wanderer to a powerful and canny ruler who possesses the last living dragons.Though her story is separated from the others by many thousands of miles,her stated goal is to reclaim the Iron Throne.Although she is not known to many in Westeros,the chaos of two civil wars in rapid succession has led to much yearning among the smallfolk for the days of stability under the Targaryens.Daenerys storyline will return her to Westeros before the end of the series.The eponymous Song of Ice and Fire is mentioned only once in the series,in a vision Daenerys sees in A Clash of Kings:He is the prince that was promised,and his is the song of ice and fire,spoken by a Targaryen(probably Daeneryss dead older brother Rhaegar Targaryen)about his infant son named Aegon.It is implied that there is a connection between the song,the promise,and Daenerys herself.This is established more clearly in A Feast for Crows,when Aemon Targaryen identifies Daenerys as the heir that was promised.The phrase ice and fire is also mentioned in the Reeds oath of loyalty to Bran in A Clash of Kings.However,the song and the promise are never mentioned again,and the song itself remains a mystery.THE ENDThank you.
