3 websites for Game of Throne fans


http://www.theoriesarecoming.com/#/ (series based)

A great little website because it gets into totally unknown fields and opens the door for many new thoughts and ideas. Sadly it is only series based which makes the explanations oftentimes quiet shallow and disprovable by the huge amount of detail in the books. But as I explained above it also has some very good solutions.
I especially liked John Snow / is a time traveling Bran as the explanation states:

"When someone is the only product of ice and fire in history, and the key to defeating the White Walkers, can he be allowed to die? That’s why Bran from the future intervened when Jon was in that Schrödinger's Cat state between dead and alive. He warged into Jon to bring him back to life and will control him till the end of the story. As the three-eyed raven told Bran, he will fly when Jon (controlled by Bran) rides one of Dany’s dragons."

A great tool to learn more about the geography of Westeros and even Essos. As especially in the books the time for traveling is taken into account more than it is in the TV show and of course again the more detailed book gives the readers more locations to be familiar with. Like Saltpans, Seagard, Ten Towers or Sisterton places each game of thrones book reader should know but which are never mentioned in the show. But overall contains not much information as only the main characters path is shown and there is not additional information for example if it is looted, if an army past thought shortly, how the defenses of towns and keeps are...

This visualization of the intrigue and action in the universe of ice and fire is just great and that is for some reasons.
-It is a greatly designed minimal easy to the eye graphic.
-It transforms a lot of information from the book into the graphic
-It contains not only main characters but also almost all other characters (I mean there is even a place in the graphic that says kindly man. But the graphic still is not overcrowded what is due to the great design of course)

I especially was surprised how few kills even the main characters have, for example Cersei Lannister has zero kills or Varys. And that is when I realized that they are of course schemers and do not to their dirty work. If you want interesting characters look at Tyrion, Melisandre, Jaime, Theon and Ramsey.
