Heard of those direwolves?

Fri, 18 Apr 2025 20:58:32 GMT

Well, they aren't exactly direwolves.

And naming one of them Khaleesi was an affront to the entire Game of Thrones fanbase, duh!

No, the dire wolf has not been brought back from extinction

A new micro state in the making?

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 12:28:19 GMT

This is interesting! In a surprising move, Albania plans to create a liberal Muslim microstate, the Sovereign State of the Bektashi Order. Led by Baba Mondi, it will allow alcohol, freedom of dress, and no strict rules. Located in Tirana, it will be the smallest country in the world, a quarter the size of the Vatican.

Aegon's Conquest will be filmed

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 18:29:23 GMT

‘Game of Thrones’ Aegon’s Conquest Spinoff in the Works From ‘The Batman Part II’ Writer (Exclusive)

HBO is developing another Game of Thrones spinoff series.

The company is actively heating up its long-in-discussion Aegon’s Conquest idea.

HBO is partnering with Mattson Tomlin, an in-demand scribe who did uncredited work on Matt Reeve’s The Batman and is co-writing its upcoming sequel, The Batman Part II. He also wrote the Keanu Reeves action comic adaptation BRZRKR and an animated Terminator series which he is also showrunning for Netflix.

Aegon’s Conquest is basically a direct prequel to the hit House of the Dragon, telling the story of the Targaryen’s bloody and brutal conquest of Westeros. The story follows the invader Aegon Targaryen, who conquered the continent of Westeros with his sister wives, Rhaenys and Visenya, and their dragons. Aegon successfully unified six of the Seven Kingdoms in just two years, with only Dorne able to successfully resist.
