I know others would complain if you didn't, but I get so annoyed when I type "Robb", but since it accepts "Rob", I end up with a "b" leftover and I have to backspace.

Gregor Clegane is actually the Mountain that Rides (rather than the Mountain who Rides).

You should specify when you are referring to with the heir thing. Also, being a little more forgiving on the spelling would be nice :P

Assuming Stark children refers to Ned Stark, Jon shouldn't be on there since that's just a cover story.

Duolingo is actually in the process of creating a course for High Valyrian. Is the language even real? I thought was an old Faroese language until I looked it up.

I got bored watching the TV show very soon in to season 1. I was thinking of going back and trying to get in to it again, but now it seems like by all accounts season 8 is horrible, and the producers are just making it up as they go now since Martin hasn't even finished the book that was supposed to go with season 6. So you have the option of starting on a journey that is never finished if you start reading the books or starting on one that leads to an unsatisfying conclusion with the HBO series. I think I'll pass on both.

I couldn’t agree more with your first sentence - if I want glossy violence and soft-core porn I’ll look elsewhere. The world created by Martin however, is a rich and complex one, drawing on elements of real history, and so epic in scale as to remind me of Tolkien. Everyone should read the books, while HBO’s version should be ritually burned for diminishing one of the greatest stories ever put to paper. “The book’s better than the film” is a cliched cliche, but in this case there is simply no comparison.

I guess I spelled Joffrey wrong... a couple of variations would have been nice...

Level 66

May 12, 2019

Do I have to be the guy that points out that "Winter is Coming" isn't actually the official Stark house words? I believe it is canon that that's like an unofficial saying, but they don't actually have official words the way other houses do.

I only got 6 correct. I also never saw a single minute of a single episode. Sort of like getting a "D" on a book report in school for a book that you never read. Not very impressive, but pleased to have gotten anything other than 0. And regardless, kudos to the quiz maker for taking the time to put this together.

Heir to the throne could be Joffrey, Tommen, Jon Snow, Daenerys depending on perspective and which point you're at in the story.

Mar 29, 2024

Jon is not a Stark child. He is the bastard son of Ned and is not part of the house of Stark. He may be Ned's son but he is not Catelyn's and his surname is "Snow". Also, since Ghost is Jon's direwolf, he should not be labeled as a Stark direwolf. Other than that, great quiz!

This seems to just be for the first book. Are there more made for the other books? If not, are you planning on making more?
