| 0:00.0 | Hello, my fellow Westoreans. Welcome back to History of Westros podcast. We got a big one today |
| 0:16.0 | before the dragons. It's a topic that allows us to use a lot of imagination, a lot of figuring out, |
| 0:24.5 | a lot of triangulating. It's not an explicitly covered topic in any of the source material, |
| 0:31.8 | it's something we just are able to guesstimate and, like I said, triangulate. We know a lot of these |
| 0:39.1 | characters that we're going to talk about. We're aware of them in their later lives. So we have |
| 0:44.0 | some inkling of what type of person they were, which now allows us to discuss or guess or theorize |
| 0:49.3 | what they were like when they were a little bit younger. And that's a lot of fun. We've got a lot |
| 0:53.8 | of regions to cover and we got to cover the reactions and state of affairs between the different |
| 1:00.8 | kingdoms. So we'll see what transpires today with all that, with all this large amount of information. |
| 1:08.6 | It's a little different kind of topic than we do than we normally do. There's not going to be |
| 1:12.2 | pretty much any real world in a comparisons today and don't really have much for that. There may be |
| 1:17.6 | some things that come up. Maybe some of y'all will realize things that are good real world comparisons. |
| 1:21.9 | After all, Westeros is a bit of a parallel to real world England. |
| 1:27.4 | They got the conqueror to William the Conqueror, which is probably some things there. But we're |
| 1:32.2 | not really focused on the conquest. We're focused on the time period five to 15 years before that. |
| 1:38.4 | Are you ready to start a podcast? Spotify is the place for you. You can make one super easily, |
| 1:43.3 | then distribute it everywhere. And if it does well enough, you can earn some money. All in one place |
| 1:48.5 | and for free. It's called Spotify for podcasters. Here's how it works. Spotify for podcasters |
| 1:54.0 | lets you record edit podcasts on your phone or computer from pretty much any kind of setup. You |
