Those who have seen the whole series know how huge the plot of GOT is. From then on, it came to my mind how to write about the context! Alhamdulillah, I have read some of the original books. I dared to write about this flashback of GOT from the experience of various Facebook posts and books I have read before. So for those who know the main story of the series, skipping the post will save time.
The TV series is called Game of Thrones, but the original writer George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has 8 books in this epic, and more will come. Let's look at the magnet part of the epic.
A Song of Ice and Fire
To tell the plot is small but in detail, we will first divide the GOT into three parts.
đŸ“‘History thousands of years ago.
đŸ“‘History three hundred years ago.
đŸ“‘History 17 years ago.
History a thousand years ago :
First let’s get an idea of ​​GOT’s map. It is very important to understand the story. Westers is an old town. It is roughly the size of a continent. It is located on the other side of Narrow Sea. The weather here is a bit different. When winter comes here, it lasts for a few years and summer lasts for a few years.
Now we need to know the position of the states. Winterfell is the northernmost state of the continent. It always snows here. Dorn is the southernmost state on the continent. It is a vast desert. 'Children Of the Forest' live in Wester. They are not humans, but a species close to humans. They believe in the old God. Note that there is no conflict between the Old Gods and the New Gods in the TV series, but it is very important in the book. The main strength of the 'Children Of the Forest' is magic.
The arrival of people + the onset of conflict :
About 12,000 years ago, people came here for the first time with the Narrow Sea. So they are called First Men. The Children of the Forests began to quarrel and conflict with them. The people had a clever military strategy. In contrast the Children of the Forests had witchcraft. In this way, 4,000 years passed. The Children of the Forest worshiped a kind of tree, and the power of their gods depended on it.To protect their Gods from human hands, they make people into White Walkers with the help of magic through dragon glasses (a kind of knife). Their intention was that the White Walkers would fight against the people on their behalf. But the White Walkers continue to arbitrarily eradicate both humans and Children of the Forest. At such a time, the worst and most chronic cold of the commemoration period fell in Wester. In that severe winter that lasted for several years, the people and the Children of the Forest fell into a terrible crisis, with the attack of the White Walkers. Then the people and the Children of the Forest combined to use military tactics and magic to overthrow the White Walkers and send them north. And since then winter has been a name of terror in Westers. Winter means attacking of the White Walkers. But no, never before has it been so cold, and the White Walkers have never been seen again. A man builds a huge wall in the north with the help of the magic of the Children of the Forests. So that later the White Walkers came back but faced obstacles. Then gradually the Children of the Forest became extinct.
Advent of the Second Mankind:
Then another group of people came to Wester. They are called Andal. They introduced the first use of steel and introduced new religions (New Gods) in Wester. Naturally, the Andals were more adept at warfare than the First men. As a result, the Andals became more authoritarian in the West. Descendants of First Men and Andalus established 7 kingdoms in Wester. This is why the Westers are also called the Seven Kingdoms. The Andalusians later became the most influential in the West. Descendants of the First men only continue to reign in Winterfell. The Andals also tried to conquer the icy winter of the north. But they realized that no one but the successors of the First men could possess that cold hell. The descendants of the First men always warned them "Winter Is Coming". When that long winter comes, their new gods will never be able to stand in front of the White Walkers. And now that the Children of the Forest and their magic are gone, only the descendants of the First men and their Old Gods can fight the White Walkers.
However, in the evolution of time, many people in Winterfell now believe that these sorcery and gossip of White Walkers are just rumors. And there is no need to talk about other kingdoms. The beginning of history ends here.
Thousands of years passed like this.
The story of the second phase of history, 300 years ago:
Aegon Targerian of the Targaryen dynasty and his two sisters attack the Westers on the backs of three dragons (I skipped the story a bit, and it's not necessary for a TV series). Although the Targaryen army was relatively small in number, the kingdoms of Wester were defeated in battle because they built their forts to repel human attacks, not to prevent dragon attacks. So when the dragons started firing from above, they just stared in amazement until they were completely reduced to ashes. The place where the Targaryen king landed is called Kings Landing. Making it their capital, they began to rule the Westers. For the first time, a mighty nation, like the First men, showed allegiance to the South because of the power of the dragons. The Targaryen king burned the swords of the defeated soldiers in the fire of the dragons and made iron thrones.
The blood of the Targaryens is called Dragon Blood, because they are not harmed by fire. To keep their blood pure, they used to marry brothers and sisters. Such incest shows signs of insanity in most Targaryen. Of course, the bravery of the dragon could be seen in some of them (like Mother of Dragon).
A king of the Targaryen dynasty captured the dragons. As a result, the size of the dragons became smaller. Again, when the conflict between them started, they would jump into the battle with the dragons, as a result, the dragons also began to die one by one. Gradually all the dragons died.
The second phase of history ends here.
The beginning of the last or present stage of history which started 17 years ago:
The Targaryen king about 17 years ago had his madness far more than any other Targaryen. She was called Mad King. I have said before that they were insane by nature for incest of blood. He would burn anyone he wanted. His favorite phrase was Burn Them All. His eldest son, Regar, kidnaps Liena, the only daughter of the then Lord Stark of Winterfell (although we do know that Rega married Liena with love's consent, not the abduction, but the Stark family did not know it). Lord Stark and his eldest son Brandon Stark went to the capital to protest. Eris Targerian burned them in front of all the people in the court. Meanwhile, the one who was supposed to marry Leena was Robert Barathion of Storms End. Edward Ned Stark, the second son of Robert and Lord Stark, both declared war on Mad King. Robert and Ned Stark were both extraordinary warriors. As a blessing, Lord Arin of Mad King Eris also instructed to join Robert and Ned Stark. Eventually the Targaryen dynasty, which had ruled for 300 consecutive years, was defeated.
Eris's infant son Viseris and his younger sister Deneris survived because they lived outside the capital. Robert ascends the Iron Throne. On the advice of Lord Arin, Robert marries Sarsi Lannister, the only daughter of Tywin Lannister, the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms, to strengthen the foundations of the kingdom. Robert made Erin his Hand of King, and his friend Ned Stark was appointed Warden of the North. Lord Erin, the Hand of King, died 18 years after his reign.
The journey of "Game of Thrones" as a TV series begins here.
