Radio Estra's episode 22, twice exiled.

Boiler is all books.

Hi there listeners and welcome to another episode of Radio Westeros. I'm Lady Queen of

for your podcasting from Boston and with me as ever is Yoke Boy in England.

Yeah hi and today we have an episode for you all about Sir Dura-Mormont.

We'll be looking closely at his backstory as a man from the bleak bear island who fell for a southern

woman somewhat above his station.

And then we'll look at his story starting in a game of

thrones and pentos and following his arc right through until it

dance with dragons and beyond.

There'll be consideration of his themes and of course a look at the story of the

Bear and the Maiden Fair is his relationship with Denerys take center stage.

And to round out the episode we'll be predicting what we think the future holds

for Jura. With readings of the fight with Quotho, the Kiss with Danny, and a pseudo-advert from Westeros. That's what today's episode

looks like. So we hope you'll stay with us and now let's get started with

Jora Mormont. The first time I beheld her, I thought she was a goddess come to earth, the maid herself made flesh.

Okay, so we're going to begin with a look back at Jora's past at events that took place before the books began,

knowledge of which are drip fed throughout the novels.

We think Jora is a character where his backstory and history is quite defining and grounds the character in the current story.

So let's take a look at Jora's past.

Okay, so Jura's around 45 years old at the start of game.

He's clearly had a fair old life even before we meet him.
