Hello and welcome to the Nodcast, the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through the song by Sinfire One Chapter.

I'm your host, Jeff, better was going to be fish.

And I'm your other host Emmett, better known as poor Quentin.

And welcome to the 74th episode of the Noddcast entitled Red Part 2, an analysis of the prologue to a clash of kings in which the objectively rightful king of Westrus, God, I love saying those sources, and is morally unambiguous, rightful.

We got to workshop that.

We're going to workshop those lines there.

Sorcercers begin their crusade to set the world to rights.

There will be no complications whatsoever about this, right?

Emmett, I feel like I don't

read because I can't read. I guess, Jeff, you know, this isn't a storyline in which I'm

particularly invested, so we'll see how it goes. I'm going to be tuning out for the most part.

I understand. We've all been there before. Obviously, quite the opposite in reality. We love

this stuff so much we had to split it into two episodes. Last week we had read part one covering the first half-ish of the prologue, the introduction

to Crescent and the setting of Dragonstone, Shireen, Patchface, Davos, and so on. This time we're

going to be covering the introduction of Stanisperethian himself, as well as Melisandra of Ashai,

and the chapter closing confrontation between Melisandra and Mastair Crescent.

So this one is going to be a bit longer than last one, but taken together, they still would have been the most behemoth episode imaginable. So I think the split was probably a good idea,

and we hope you have enjoyed the first episode and this one as well.

Absolutely. If you guys are listening to these years down the road after we record them,

this will be much easier for you guys listen to because you'll be able to listen to part one,

then it'll be like flow into part two.

But it just makes sense as we talked to, as I talked about last week,
