Originally posted by Tancred2001: Without looking at the books (nnnng) Good Because thats the way it was meant to be done [img]tongue.gif[/img] 1. There are seven Kingdoms in Westeros. What families rule each of the seven Kingdoms and where is their seat of power? (as of the beginning of Book 1) (EDITED because I forgot to include the cities) The North: The Starks, rom Winterfell The Vale: The Arryns, from the Eyrie Dorne: the Martells, from Sunspear The Riverlands: The Tullys, from Riverrun The Rock: the Lannisters, from Casterly Rock Iron Islands: The Greyjoys, from Pyke Correct on those six 2. Name all the people who have been king since the beginning of book 1. Been king, or been *a* king? I was aiming for all kings, even those who were self-styled Robert Baratheon Stannis Baratheon Renly Baratheon Joffrey Baratheon Tommen Baratheon Robb Stark Balon Greyjoy 3. Name the direwolves: Robb: Grey Wind Jon: Ghost Sansa: Lady Arya: Nymeria Bran: Summer Rickon: Shaggydog Yep yep yep 4. Who killed - Jon Arryn: Lysa Arryn Robb Stark: Roose Bolton The Red Viper: Gregor Clegane Joffery Lannister: The Tyrells, or possibly even Cercei Lannister (not sure exactly who) Afraid not Robert Barathorn: A boar, aided and abetted by Lancel Lannister, kind of Ser Mandon: Pod Payne All but Joffery are correct 5. Technically who is the rightful king of the realm? In my opinion? Jon Snow. Am pretty sure this is just going to come down to opinions 6. How were the Wights released? The wildlings under Mance Rayder's command raided their tombs and stirred them to life. Correct 7. Identify these house shields: A mockingbird: 'House Littlefinger'. Petyr's personal shield, the mockingbird, is different from the Baelish family shield, that escapes me for the moment. Correct, the Baelish family shield is in fact... well heh, lets not spoil it, bonus point to anyone who can identify it A lion: Lannister A stag: Baratheon A three headed dog: Clegane A direwolf: Stark A chain with green flames: ? A ship with an onion on it's sail: Seaworth A sun with a spear: Martell 8. Name the 3 dragons belonging to Dany and who they were named after. Er... Balerion... bah. Named after members of the Targaryen family. Not all were named after members of the Targaryen family 9. What do these people have in common at one time or another? Qhorin Halfhand, Sandor Clegane, Jamie Lannister I'm going to go out on a limb and say: they've all been attacked or struck by one of their brothers at one point or another (Qhorin by Jon, Sandor by Gregor, and Jaime by Tyrion). Good answer, not what I wanted though. Its far simpler then that. 10. Which house has the words... We do not sow: ? Winter is coming: The Starks - there's a nobrainer - yeah that was an easy one Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken: ? 11. Jon Snow is the Nine hundred and ninety ninth lord commander of the Nights Watch. Incorrect

Very well done there Tancred
