ID X

Q18- Although X, also known as Prince Garrin’s Curse has no
direct real-life equivalent: it is somewhat similar to leprosy in
that it tends to disfigure those infected with it, and in how
society fears people with it as "unclean". Unlike leprosy, some
people occasionally manage to fight it off , though their
disfigurements never heal. In this respect, it is loosely also
similar to smallpox: people who contracted smallpox could
recover from it, but they might be left with permanent and
severe scarring

Q22- X is a traditional pie served at wedding feasts. X served at
weddings of the nobility can be enormous in size, as they are
meant to feed all of the guests. Sometimes, in very expensive
weddings such as those held for the royal family X may be
hollowed out to make a spectacle out of it.
Which dish?

Q23- In an interview, George RR Martin said, "At some points, when
David and Dan and I had discussions about what way we should go in, I
would always favor sticking with the books, while they would favor
making changes. I think one of the biggest ones would probably be
when they made the decision not to bring X back . That was probably
the first major diversion of the show from the books and, you know, I
argued against that, and David and Dan made that decision.
In my version of the story, X is re-imbued with a kind of life and
becomes this vengeful wight who galvanizes a group of people around
her and is trying to exact her revenge on the Riverlands. David and Dan
made a decision not to go in that direction in their story, pursuing
other threads.“ Who is X?

Ans- Lady Stoneheart aka Catelyn Stark

Q24- First seeen in season 3, X ended up among the Northern
and Riverlands prisoners at Harrenhal when Ser Gregor

he wakes, he identifies himself to Robb Stark while Talisa Stark
tends to his wound

impression of him. ID X

*Q25- ID the song.
He rode through the streets of the city
Down from his hill on high

And a chain and a keep are nothing
Compared to a woman's kiss

"And now there’s the prospect of doing it for a living, whereas
up until now it was always something I did for recreation with
my friends, or in the summer for some fun. I enjoyed it. When
you make a living from something, it changes your
relationship with it. It’s not like I hate it, it’s just not what I
want to do."

Q4-The Red Comet, also called the Red Messenger or Red
Sword, is an astronomical phenomenon which appeared in
the show at the start of season 2.People seem divided on it
being an omen of King Robb Stark's victory or if its red color
indicates a triumph for the forces of House Lannister. Still
others consider the red color to represent the blood of Eddard
Stark. However, the wildling woman Osha dismisses all of
these suggestions with an unique and quite true suggestion of
her own.
What Did she suggest?

Q5- The incident is said to have marked the beginning of
Aerys's descent into madness. The term 'Mad King' came into
common usage after his incarceration and Aerys's distrust of
the Lannisters became more pronounced after this time.
Which event being talked about?

Q6- X once mentioned that he was born as Brynden hence prompting
the theory that he is indeed Brynden Rivers who was one of the four
main bastards of Aegon the 4th. His mother was of house blackwood,
a noble house from the Riverlands. Brynden was a skilled warrior and
a strategist and served as hand of the king for two Kings. But
eventually due to his betrayals he was exiled to the wall where he
rose to the rank of Lord Commander. But soon after he disappeared
during one of the patrols beyond the wall. Targaryens dont have
greensight abilities but His mother being of house blackwoood which
descended from The first men, the same as starks, seems to have
given him those abilities.

Lame Lothar Frey and Black Walder Rivers

Q9- Producers said this while explaining why Food at X consists
of only crusty bread and unpalatable stew:
“It's the cheapest cuts of rancid meat you can imagine, made
into a very basic stew. And meat stew can look sort of
appetizing, it's a dark brown, nice rich gravy, so we gave it a
grey, slimy, chewy look. So it looks almost like gloopy whale
meat somehow. So it looks foul, but actually it tastes like real
meat stew. But it looks disgusting, it looks like you wouldn't
want to touch it. They slaughter animals, chop it up for the
stew, so we had a few fiberglass pigs, but most of its fresh in
there, which adds in a sort of reality to the set.“
Which place is being talked about here?

Q10- Ser Duncan’s potential family ties to X had long been suspected
by fans, and Martin himself confirmed the theory at the 2016 Balticon.
Fans had noted the similar height of both Ser Duncan and X, along with
possessing similar personality traits such as being stubbornly loyal.
Additionally, in A Feast for Crows, X requests to have his/her shield
repainted with a pattern that X remembered seeing in X’s castle’s
armory as a child. That pattern is an exact match for the pattern Ser
Duncan carried on his own shield decades before. Ser Duncan
eventually rose to be a member of the Kingsguard, much as X always
dreamt of being

Q12- “It was a really challenging thing to do this season. I had a
meeting with David and Dan, before we started filming. We had
a chat about how we wanted to play Bran this season, and they
suggested X from DC Comics. Bran was slightly based on that ,
existing in all these different times at once, knowing all these
various things, being this emotionless rock connecting different
timelines and the history of the universe. We wanted that, but
we didn’t want a boring, monotonous character. It becomes a bit
unbelievable and also it becomes a bit dull. Not that the whole
thing isn’t completely unbelievable, but you know what I mean”
According to Isaac Hampstead Wright which popular comic
character was the inspiration behind Bran this season?

Q1- Apart from Westeros and Essos which is the other
continent in Game of Thrones?

the south. It is an ancient stronghold of the First Men. It has
degraded over time and only three towers still stand as it was
built over ten thousand years ago
