Illustrated guide based on HBO’s Game of Thrones mini-site
WARNING! This guide is based on all the various character pages on HBO’s Game of Thrones guide. I simply combined it into a one page infographic. Most people consider it SPOILER FREE but some (esp. those reading books) might consider information in this image as spoilers since it reveals all the names, backstory and relationships between the characters which occurred PRIOR to the events in the first episode of the HBO series. To view how information was revealed on the HBO show scroll down to Episode Specific Guides.

Houses Only
Illustrated map based on HBO’s Game of Thrones mini-site
House Locations
How All This Started:
I’m a huge fan of HBO’s new series Game of Thrones. I’ve anxiously anticipated the show since it’s been announced and simply can not get enough of it. In addition to viewing each episode TWICE I’ve spent countless hours on the HBO website looking through the character guides. There is a lot of back story for this show and the multitude of characters is almost overwhelming. Yesterday I started doodling the different relationships between the houses… and before I knew it I was at the computer creating a full blown relationship tree. This hasn’t been an easy task due to the sheer volume of characters involved but I’ve had a lot of fun trying to come up with an easy to understand guide.
SOME NOTES / Explanations:
1. Concerning the relationship between Loras and Renly. This hasn’t been explored in the series and I’ve tried not to include any future spoilers. For now I’ve put double quotations around their icon=).
2. Concerning Direwolf Lady. This is included in the episode specific guide.
3. Colors. I’ve seen some comments about the color choices for the different houses. I picked colors that make sense to viewers of the show who have not read the books
- Lannister – Yellow. Their symbol is a gold lion on a red background so yellow made the most sense. Also the actors are blond and Jaime’s Armor is kind of yellow colored. Nothing in the show made me associate them with red.
- Targaryen – Red. Red dragon is their symbol.
- Stark - Gray. Gray direwolf is their symbol. (OR GREY for you across the pond people
- Tully – Aqua. Fish is their symbol. Water = Aqua
- Arryn – Dark Blue. Their emblem is a falcon with a moon on a dark blue background. Pretty straight forward.
- Baratheon – Brown. A stag/deer is their symbol. Which I associate with brown.
- Tyrell – Orange. Well I didn’t want to use another yellow so there wouldn’t be any confusion.
- Greyjoy – Purple. It was the last color left in the rainbow. LOL! Well also squid made me think of purple.
Thanks for Stopping by & I hope you all enjoy my Game of Thrones Illustrated Guide.

Let me know if I’m missing anything on this one.
LOVE this!
Thank you =)
This is pretty great except that it’s House Greyjoy not with an A
Thanks for that. Fixed now =)
Still missing House Martell.
On the location guide, I mean.
Thanks I just added that on. I don’t think they have been mentioned in the series yet right?
Dorne is in the south, but since you specifically cite where Highgarden and Casterly Rock are, you might as well specify Sunspear rather than just the vague ‘Dorne’.
Done.
Gregor Clegane has a typo (Legane)… He is also banner man of house Lannister, not working with his Brother for Joffrey.
Ser is Jorah Mormont’s title not name.
Jon Arryn’s son is Robert not Robin.
Catelyn and Lysa Tully have a brother Edmure.
Other than that – Brilliant!
Thanks for those corrections Jason. I’ve just made those changes except for Robin.
I’ve been using the names HBO has assigned to the characters not the names in the books.
I believe they have changed Jon Arryn’s sons name to Robin so there wouldn’t be any confusion with Robert the King. That’s how he is listed in their guide. Unless that’s a mistake on their website.
OK… In the show Robert does say that the boy was named for him, i.e. true to the books.
It does appear that they’ve changed the name. Or at least on a post on George RR Martain’s blog it list’s the actor as playing Robin Ayrn. I’m sure the inspiration for the name change is Sansa’s nick name for him in the book “Sweet Robin” although mb it’s also just a nickname in the show and they use it in the credits to avoid confusion. We’ll see I guess..
Oh lol it says specifically on his blog “Lysa’s son has been renamed for the series. “Robin” instead of “Robert,” as in the books. He’s still Sweetrobin.”
Ahh then it’s settled. Robin it is =)
Great work!
One other little spelling correction: Ser Barristan Selmy, not Baristan.
Joffrey – not Joffery. Awesome otherwise.
Thanks both Jeremy and Sarah. Noted and updated. =)
This is so SO COOL! Well done. Linking in my blawg and will refer back frequently, I’m sure.
The next stop could be plotting their locations on the Westeros/Eastern maps, with dotted lines to show who’s sailing/riding/walking where
When I watch with friends they get confused about WHERE everyone is at a given time, in relation to one another.
MKP recently posted..GameofThrones 104 – Would you like some exposition with your exposition
Thank you =)
And I’ve been thinking about the map myself. HBO has a pretty decent one except that you have to click each dot to know what is where. And only when it’s zoomed in. So stay tuned maybe I’ll do that before the next episode airs.
I wanna break down the character guide by each episode first. I think it would be neat to go back and see how the story progressed.
This is really awesome! I can only imagine how confusing it would be for people just watching the series without having read the books. Even in the books, I had to flip back and forth to the appendix quite a bit to remember who everyone was and who they were related to.
Really cool!

This is great. My wife is kind of lost and this should help her out.
Budd recently posted..Predators 2010
If my theory is correct, based off of the research I did at Kings Landing, I think you will find that Joffrey is actually the result of the incestuous relationship between the Lady Queen Cersei and her brother the Kingslayer Jaime Lannister rather than the trueborn air to Roberts throne as your chart suggests.
Winter is coming.
Yeah that’s what I think
The flow is wrong on Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen. They belong under Jaime and Cersei.
THOSE ARE SPOILERS!!!! This has not been revealed in the series yet!
agreed. tons of spoilers in this map for people that haven’t read the series yet. character revelations are a huge part of what makes this series so compelling and many of the most important ones are already outlined on the map.
Trying to fix some of the spoiler problems right now… BUT you have to remember this guide is based on the Television Series NOT the books. So there is a lot of information revealed in different order.
The quotation markss around Renly/Loras’s star are hilarious.
You should also know that “Septa” isn’t a name, it’s a title. Kind of like a nun or a priestess.
Any spoilers in these? I’ve only just started reading A Game of Thrones. HBO will have to wait until it comes out on DVD….
Don’t look at the map as it contains episode event locations… but the Guide itself IS spoiler free. I will create a separate version to update changes as the series continues.
made my day! just started reading the first book and can’t wait to finish so i can (a) start the second and (b) start watching episodes.
You should also know that “Septa” isn’t a name, it’s a title. Kind of like a nun or a priestess.
I should have taken a screen shot of HBOs guide. It seems like now Septa is Septa Mordane. Unless it was like that the whole time and I missed it. I shall add that on then =)
On the Locations Guide, should be “Seize him” instead of “Cease him” for the episode 4 event.
Also, “Roads” instead of “Roades” on the legend.
Great work!
Fixed. Thank you =)
Where’s the men’s bathroom?
Excellent stuff! How do I print it?
It should be Tully on the Houses Only infographic, not Tulley
Thanks I just uploaded the correct version. =)
Sansa’s direwolf “Lady” should have a “deceased” icon since Ned executed her at the end of episode 2. Excellent work!
The Hound and Ser Gregor should have a ‘nemisis/rival’ connection… no that is not a spoiler it is just their history even if it hasn’t been fully explained to the viewer before episode 4… (or book 2/3, depending on if you approve of episode 4′s added scenes)
Littlefinger kind of explained this in the last episode. I’ll add this on. Thanks!
Just had to say, excellent work! I’m bookmarking this.
DDX@Bonjour Tristesse recently posted..64th Cannes Film Festival 2011 Opening Day
Wow, these are really beautiful and fun. I hate to join the crowd of people pointing out small errors, but I will in the interest of improving the awesomeness of your designs. On the map, you have Bear Island under a Stark flag, when it should have its own bear flag. http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/Entry/House_Mormont/
Westeros.org is a great resource, especially their heraldry site: http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/Heraldry/
Thank you for the link. I actually put the Stark’s banner there on purpose because when Jorah was telling Dany his story he said the Starks took his home. Should it be both?
To be honest, I’m not sure how they’re going to play it out in the show, but in the book it remains in the Mormont family. Jorah’s sister becomes the Lady. Maybe when he said they took it from him, he was being figurative?
Just checked HBO’s guide and they have both house emblems under it.
I still have to make icons for the other houses not yet mentioned I’ll add Mormont on next go.
Ok, that makes sense, since the Mormonts are subject to House Stark. looking forward to the update. Also, did HBO create a graphic for it, or will you make one from scratch?
They created one it seems but for now it’s very tiny next to Jorah’s name. It looks like a brown bear on a greenish background. The one on the map is not very big either and just black and white.
Here’s an image I screen-capped from The Maester’s Path. Probably not any better than the HBO map image.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/mormont.jpg/
These are absolutely brilliant, and so much fun to look over! Thank you for all your obvious effort and enthusiasm!
Thank you that means a lot =)
I would say that if you are calling what Robb and Jon have a friendship than you have to say the same of Arya and Jon.
Also, it’s sort of a bum rap that Tyrion caused his mother’s death. His birth caused her death, something he has little say over.
Thanks for those notes.
I haven’t really noticed a friendship between Arya and Jon yet. But Jon specifically asks Tyrion to say hello to his brother for him. To me that showed he cared for his brother more than the rest of the children.
And I’ve added the icon for Tyrion causing his mothers death because he mentions in one of the episodes that his mother died in childbirth and hence his father hates him for it. I thought that was a relevant event to understand the dynamic between him and his father.
Remember that Jon had Mikken the Blacksmith create the sword Needle for Arya before they left Winterfell.
“Stick them with the pointy end!”
I’ll second the Arya and Jon friendship. Jon didn’t have the option of asking Tyrion to say hello to Arya because she had already left Winterfell. Also, we have the scene where Jon gives Arya ‘Needle’ as a gift.
Are you going to shade deceased direwolves to that of a clear outline that deceased people are shown with? If so, you’d need to change Lady’s from solid to clear. Or, is the clear direwolf ONLY used for Jon’s direwolf “Ghost”?
Aside from that, nice job on the whole page !!
Great graphics. Although, as much as I love how they look, I wish there were photos to look at too. It’d be cool to have a version where you can hover-over the characters to see a photo of them.
There is already one created with the pictures http://screenrant.com/game-of-thrones-character-guide-infographic-mcrid-111205/.
It’s not as comprehensive but it works if you just want to remember actors faces and who they play.
Great work! I love these.
Minor nitpicks: “Grey Wind” with an E. “Shaggydog” is one word. I love those direwolves!
Thank you & Thanks for those edits. Just updated.
AWESOME!!! I LOVE THIS. IMAGINATION GOING NUTS!!!
Arya and Jory? Did I miss something implied in the books?
Yeah, I’m not sure about that either. Also, “GreatJon” should be “Greatjon”. Keep up the good work, Magda!
Utterly brilliant! I’m really looking forward to the episode-specific evolution.
As the various family trees get fleshed out, and the Small Council and the Court shift, I think you may have to settle for giving them icons to signify those positions instead of visually grouping them under a common background. Trying to imagine how to reshape things to fit Eddard on the council instead of Jon Arryn is already giving me a headache, and that doesn’t even touch on all the changes that happen later.
Thank you SO much for this! Now all of my friends who haven’t read the book (myself included) will be able to stop bugging the ones who have! This will make our Game of Thrones viewing get-togethers much more enjoyable for everyone
Dustin recently posted..Farewell to 24 fps
It is really a great image, thanks very much.
I am not sure how you can claim there are no spoilers though. i can’t imagine any bigger spoilers then the “skulls” and the characters they involve. Lots of information there that has not been revealed by Episode 4 in the HBO production
Bear Island should not be “Previously of House Mormont” because it is still in House Mormont. Jeor is Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, and Jorah is in exile… But they still have family, and Bear Island is ruled by Jeor’s sister Meage Mormont. I realize it’s not yet revealed in the TV series, but neither is House Mormont losing Bear Island.
sara recently posted..FART JOKE
Reading over the other comments, House Mormont are bannermen to House Stark, the wardens of the north, which would the Stark banner would be flying.
Whoops! Jeor Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch! I need to not post when I am sick
Really, really cool and awesome work. I’ll be checking back to see how the graph evolves.
Anne recently posted..Software Management Advice Courtesy of Game of Thrones
Great Work, I absolutely enjoy this!
Where is the Blackfish Brynden Tully, should be next to Hoster?
And there are the Brothers of Balon Greyjoy Euron,Victarion and Aeron, otherwise absolutely great!
You could also add Khal Drogos Bloodriders.
It really gets complicated when you throw the Freys into the mix:)
I believe the producers said the Blackfish is not included in the show yet, at least for the first season.
Awesome work!
Simply awesome work Magda. Loving the show so far, though I’ve never read the books. It’s been confusing putting everything together =D so staring at this for 10 minutes has certainly cleared things up.
Thank you much and great work.
Magda, do you have any that are print quality? I have many friends reading the books and would love to have this on paper while reading! Great, great work.
Stacey
As soon as I get a chance I’ll post it in PDF format so folks can print it out.
This is staggeringly good. I’ll link to it, possibly a hundred times.
Chris David Richards recently posted..Seven Kingdoms Scale of Evil
Thank you =) and LOL!
Really well done. I’ve been reading the e-books so I have needed a map to know what is where and yours is great.
Sandor Clegane is servant to Joffrey, not the other way around, or am I reading it wrong? (I would point the arrow the other way)
I agree that was a bit confusing. I’ve made this change now. Thanks.
Absolutely fantastic! I love the infographic style; colour choice, humanoid icon representations (especially the dress length and the sword design in order to denote age.)
I’ve been vainly right-clicking, trying to set it as my desktop wallpaper in Windows7 but can’t. I may have to resort to a screen capture-and-trim-in-Paint, unless I’m missing a direct link (or a caveat on your site that says you prefer we don’t download…?)
I’ve included a link to a full size version image for printing that you also can save.
Love this but “Wylla” falls squarely in the spoiler category. I just started Book 3 and there’s been no mention that anybody will find out the identity of JS’s mother.
*** SPOILER IN HERE****
Ned reveals her name to Robert in the 2nd episode of the television series.
Same issue with how Joana Lannister dies. Major character revelation that happens about 2,400 pages after the beginning of GoT.
Should be “omitted” instead of “ommitted” in the box on the right.
Thanks for that. Fixed now.
I think that wasn’t mentioned before. Maester Luwin is a healer and counselor not just a healer, the same as Grand Maester Pycelle is. All Maesters are IIRC.
Great work btw!
Awesome work – I love it! One question, do you typically receive this same level of feedback from all your clients or are GoT fans a little more “detail oriented”
lol… Geeks are the best =)
Ha ha, I am such a closet geek – i.e. I’m into GRRM, Vernor Vinge, and China Mieville, while most of my friends may get as far as the local sports page (upon learning that I visited an impressionist exhibit at the De Young Museum in SF, my brother-in-law commented, “huh, doesn’t he likes to read books too?”)
Great job! But i noticed on previous epizodes that King Robert have a bastard (Ned is saying after speaking with armorer) is it true?
Thank you. And yes.
This information was revealed in episode 4. And I’ve included it in Ep 4 guide since that would be a spoiler for those just turning into the show.
I think ur doing a great job so far and it shows from the series cause till today I did not know that this was a series of books and was totally lost. I will defentily be back for catchup and to read everyones comments. I am going to start the books very soon too…But quick question for u and all the Thrones fans r the books in better detail then the show and worth reading if ur watching the shows at the same time. I love to read but its got to be intresting and just as dramatic as the show thats is how started with Twlight and fell in love with the books. But after the last 2wks of this series I wanted to know more to find out and got on the computer and found out alot from many, but so far this the best help I had found. GREAT JOB!!!! An can’t wait to see the new ones.
An to add Robert the king has more then one bastard child after the series ended on Sunday, who wouldn’t with that much sleeping around! lol! sorry just had to add that in.
Hey, awesome stuff. One other connection you’ve missed (which has been discussed in the show) – Ser Jorah Mormont is the son of Lord Mormont who is the lord commander of the Nights Watch on the wall (his name is Jeor Mormont), you should consider adding him in.
But yeah, really nice graphic, well done.
Thanks for that note. I have to expand the size a bit to fit Lord Mormont. I want to include a few of the characters from the wall as well. Just need to find the time =)
This is an incredible work, please keep updating it!
Thanks, thanks a lot!!
Wanted to add my profound appreciation for these graphics. As one who’s not read the books, this reeeeeealy helps keep things straight—especially as new characters are introduced. Excellent work. Very slick. As a graphic designer I can appreciate having to fit all that info into a recognizable structure. well-done.
Thank you very much!
Terrific. Must have been a lot of work and clearly a great knowledge of the books and the series. Thanks from a fan from across the pond.
Thanks Leo.
Great infographics!
One tiny detail, it’s “The Eyrie”, not just “Eyrie”. (HBO website map agrees.)
Thanks I’ll fix that on the next episode update.
Just noticed one more minor correction:
Rhaenys Targaryen was the daughter of, not son of, Rhaegar Tarygaryn and Elia Martell.
can’t believe no one has caught that before. Thanks!
This is truly beautiful…THANK YOU for your effort and enthusiasm! I was seduced by the HBO series and am now almost finished with the second book. Your relationship chart is a delightful thing! No corrections here, just THANK YOU.
Thanks Ashley.
Loved the guide and the drawing style
Please do more as the show progresses.
Just a minor detail on the Westeros Map: If Bear Island has a Stark banner on top of its own banner, why doesn’t the Twins have a Tully banner over it? It won’t come as spoilerish anyway since House Frey has been mentioned as a Tully banner when Catelyn recruited some random men in the inn.
Wicked awesome. I only wish I could mouse over and get the characters face (as available).
Good point. I’ll add that in. Thanks.
Highgarden and the Tyrells are green – you can use that color, its not been used elsewhere.
I was saving green for the Dothraki. Eventually I will need to double some colors.
Wow, this is awesome! Thanks!
Speaking as someone who has only seen the series and hasn’t read the books yet. Everything is awesome and makes sense, except i don’t understand what is with the red crown next to Tywin.
Ps: looking forward to future updates.
That one is a little tricky. Tywin was the hand of the king for the Targaryen’s… Hence the little red crown next to his hand, LOL. It totally made sense to me but I guess not so much.
Will you continue with this? Since episode 7 there is no update
Yes I’ve had an insanely busy work week. The missing updates are coming tomorrow!
and the 8 and 9 episodes???
The missing updates are coming tomorrow =) I’ve been very busy with work. Hope folks can still keep up =(
The latest two episodes are great. A few minor things:
1) Barristan Selmy is no longer head of the Kingsguard: Joffrey removed him at the end of Episode 8.
2) Any chance of adding Lord Jeor Mormont, head of the Watch, or Maester Aemon (Targaryen), or Sam Tarly, to the Wall cast? Or any of the engagements to the Freys?
3) Shouldn’t the death at Ep 9 caused by Joffrey be a dotted line? (Also, shouldn’t Ilyn Payne take some of the credit?)
4) The Eyrie’s still just listed as “Eyrie”.
Minor things — this is great work, and a titanic endeavour!
wll done! you help me alot!
Is this final three?
Great work!!! =D
Waiting for episode 10 update. you only need to remember of Barristan, as he is no longer captain of Kingsguard, but its awesome anyway
Since the episode was 2 days ago, I think there are no spoilers anymore, so, things that needed to go in the update:
- Lancel relationship with Cersei
- Mirriz Mar Dur killing Daenerys son
- Danerys putting an end to Drogo
- The dragons
- Yoren taking care of Arya
It would also be nice to put Lord Commander Mormont of Nights Watch as Jorah father. =D
Nifty stuff, well done!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this! It’s wonderful.I have been trying to read the first book, but I put it down and pick it back up so infrequently, that each time I get lost in who is who. I was thinking about writing down a family tree but this is so much better!!! I am totally printing it out!
This is awesome! Can’t wait for Episode 10 guide.
i notice you do not have a connection between lord mormont and his son jora, or no connection between the old blind man at castle back to daenerys
I honestly don’t think I would’ve been able to keep all the Houses and characters straight without this infographic(s). It’s so elegantly designed as well. Thank you!
Wow! This is great ^^ I often get confused with the characters but I love the show so I watch it over again. I so excited for season 2!!! XDDD
I forgot to say “THANK YOU SO MUCH!!” ^^
Waiting for the episode 10 update, plz!!!!!!
This guides are excellent. =)
Hi there! First of all, great job!
Just wanna make a simple correction. After Chapter 7 Jofrey, Myrcella and Tommen are known as Cersei and Ser Jaime sons (both Lannister), so they should be yellow as all Lannisters are. They are no more from the house of Baratheon.
Keep the good work!
Waiting episode 10, hope you do this again in season 2. its really good.
I know the series has seemingly abandoned him, but please, please, please put Brydon “The Blackfish” Tully up there
he is lord hosters younger brother and a complete badass
and he is a Ser, so it would be Ser Brydon Tully, “The Blackfish”
I think that there is no real reason to put him in this guide, he has no important role in the 1st season. Otherwise the guide should have like 100 characters, and not only the important ones.
I know that I died, but I still think I deserve the last episode illustrated guide!
))
Thank you for doing this! It’s awesome. But only if there was pictures of the characters and your infographics… I barely remember them with their names :/
Luiz Felipe recently posted..ok spam is over
Man, the guide is fine the way it is, its impossible to put pictures for everyone. =p
im so hooked on that series. cant wait x season two!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psbBi7dLnT4&feature=related
The new book has more info about Jon Snow’s mother. Might need to edit that in.
But the guide is only about the tv show.
Best info graphics I’ve seen for the series, capturing the complexity of the relationships and clarifying them too. Brilliant and obviously done with love. Major kudos to you.
Thanks for this great chart, it’s nearly impossible to read the books or watch the series without such a guide. I hope you’ll consider putting them together for the rest of the books.
Rhaenys, child of Rhaegar and Elia, was a girl. The icon shows a man.
Thank you sooo much for this! We’ve passed this around amongst everyone in our company and it’s done a great deal in getting people to read the book and watch the show!
I am on the second book “A Clash of Kings” and even though there’s so many people pointing out little (sometimes irrelevant) mistakes on the first chart, I do so hope that you’ll consider doing one for the 2nd season or “A Clash of Kings”. As it stands, I am only in the 2nd chapter and I can see my confusion starting to take form.
Anyway, thanks!!!!!
Love your guide! Will be blogging about this. Thanks!

If you plan on continuing to add branches to it I warn you it’s going to get _big_.
Wow, that is intense, I am going to have to share on my facebook page. You must have went through an enormous amount of trouble to make such a huge diagram of the family relationships.
these illustrations are a genius.

Hi Magda
Your illustrated guide is the best I have ever seen.
I would like to improve some of my content by adding your images on my Game of Thrones Books website.
Do you allow me to use them(with the watermarks)?
If you have any regards or issues, just ask.
Looking forward to your reply
Thank you for another great post. The place else may just anyone get that kind of info in such an ideal approach of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I’m at the look for such info.
I printed out this entire “tree” and kept w/me at all time while reading Book 1 (on my kindle) (after having watched the series but having forgotten much!) … Am just starting book 2 & am wondering if there is or will be anything similar for that or if it is not really needed? Either way, this is/was a wonderful resource to have!
this is the most amazing thing ever.
Great work. It helps so much understanding the relationships. Greetings from germany.
I have never watched the series and just started the books few days ago, but I can already say to you that this infographics are fucking awesome!
Thank you for doing that to us, I don’t even know if you profit with this in some wierd way but independent of that your job is very organised and beautiful.
Thank you for helping me understanding the whole context of the history.
I am sorry for spelling and grammar mistakes, I am from Brazil and so English is not my first language.
Regards.
EFING AWESOME!!!!!
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
I am currently reading the first book in this series. Dany is only 13, and this site says shes 17. Just thought i would point that out.
BTW, THANKYOU for the char listings guide, I tried to make it on my own and it can be very confusing. So thankyou thankyou thankyou, best peice of information so far!
These are wonderful!!
I would love to see you do a version of the world map (http://www.sermountaingoat.co.uk/map/versions/speculative_map.jpg) with overlays of the character’s journeys/routes.
Hi Magda. What a fantastic guide you have here. I was wondering…would it be possible for you to provide a PDF version of the guide, please?
I was watching the premiere last night and noticed that having the images open on a laptop while watching was clunky so I tried looking at the guide images on both an iPad and Kindle Fire. The only issue here was of course the scaling of the PNGs. I’m hoping you can put up a version of the guide in a vector format, like PDF for us tablet users. That would be so awesome.
P.S. A couple of the guide images at 300dpi help a bit, but the others are still at 72dpi.
Thanks I will look into it. Seems like most of the PNGs look fine on my iPad though. Must be a few stray ones
Have they mentioned Ser Brynden Tully in the T.V. series? He should have been at the Bloody gate in the Vale of Arryn. Anyways, he is Hoster Tully’s brother.
When can we expect maps for season 2?
Yep I would love to see maps for season 2! these are awesome by the way
Actually, red is referenced to the Lannister House in the show. First, their battle camps/tents are adorned with red, as is their royal guardsmen. In addition, there is an omen associated with the comet, in which the color red signifies a victory in battle for the Lannisters (during the scene in which Brahn and the northern lady are at the pool following his dream). Anyways, great work on the site!!
Hi !
Are you gonna do the same for season two?
It’s actually a great and helpful piece of info. I am glad that you simply shared this helpful info with us. Please stay us informed like this. Thanks for sharing.
web design wolverhampton recently posted..1
Since Dorna Lannister (random in my opinion) is included then maybe you should add that the lady of Highgarden/mother of Loras and Margaery Tyrell is Alerie Hightower.
Please make one for season two!
I hope all the people correcting you didn’t discourage you to do another.
This is awesome! I also hope you have time to make one for season two. I’m still pretty lost trying to remember who’s who!
Thanks!
Wow this site is awesome. I finally took a look at Episode Spoilers and they just blew me away. Congratulation on a job well done!
Love these!! Would libs to see them continue into season 2+
You simply rooooooock!!
I’m not at all familiar w/ the functions of HauteSlides, but the guides you created are so beautiful and vividly understandable.
If not for your illustrated guides, I’ve forgotten what most characters do since I skimmed through the novel 8 years ago…(Seriously, I’ve seldom seen a relationship tree so resembling a blueprint of a machine work, and remembering all the names in foreign language added more confusion—-I was reading a Chinese-translated version back then…but honestly, the translated V. did the story a fair job). When I think it over now, I see the novel must be really fantastic to have driven most main character’s names and traits in my mind till today, and with your help, the lost parts were completed. Thanks again!
Oh, I forgot to say, for my fellow fans of this series, check “Southparkstudios.com” on May 25th for the episode “Cartman Finds Love”(They’ve just taken this episode down after its debut week as pertaining to the rules, so plz exercise some patience)
In this episode, Mr.Garrison (the kids’ teacher) gave some “pro” intro to the relationship between houses in “Game of Thrones” during his teaching time (I’d rush into this class if I could). Really classy, don’t miss it!
Exelent work I love it
Correction: The direwolf Lady was dead
Great job!
Correction to House Greylord: Balon’s sister is Yara, not Asha. Osha is a wildling in the north captured by Robb Stark and is now servant to Bran in Winterfell.
Edit: Your guide is correct for the books, but in the HBO series, Asha Greylord’s name was changed to Yara to avoid confusion with Osha the wildling.
Magda, I’m very glad to see episode 10 update and hope you keep going with season 2! Just would like to kindly ask you to keep the original png ratio 1716 x 1188, it is better to read from it. Very thanks!
Splendid.
Could we have one with actor’s faces? I get confused each time I watch the show.
Thanks.
1) Stannis is married but his wife cannot produce a son, thus he turn to Melisandre for a ghost/light child.
2) Renly was killed by Stannis’ Ghost/light son thing.
3) Shae is in love with Tyrion
4) Lancel is also a lover of Cersei
Wow! Great site you have here. You’ve obviously put a great deal of work into it and it’s really appreciated. Love the “family tree” – super helpful.
Cheers
Catherine
Awesome!! Print out nice and big at work. Now we have a ‘go to’ wall!
Muy buena serie TV!
VERY GOOD TV SERIE
Hey, how about Melisandre?
Wanna make one for season 2?
So, some of the graphics are clear (ball and chain most likely means imprisoned… by whom?), but the chair is… ambiguous? Does that mean en-throned (for how long)? Also, it looked like you had the people set up in size categories, so we knew who was eldest, etc… but that appears to not be the case currently?
An interesting way to do this would be with different charts, depending on which episode you’re talking about, so reveals happen in a progression.
Also, your comment submission box doesn’t like long submissions and doesn’t scroll to allow you to see what you’re typing.
Elia under house Targaryen is actually a Martell from Dorne. She should be listed in a different color (like Kahl Drogo) or the Martell’s should be added.
House mormont should also include Joer Mormont (the Old Bear) as it’s head, along with his wife, and Jorah Mormont under them. There should be a line from the old bear to the wall.
Thanks for creating the family tree.. I’m sure it took you a lot of time. It helped me out a lot and it looks great. It’s very good and easy to understand with all the symbols. It was so hard to keep everyone’s relationships straight in my head.
THANKS!
Do you might have a spam problem on this internet site; I also am a blogger, and I was questioning your scenario; weve created some nice approaches and were searching to trade solutions with other people, be sure to fire me an e-mail if interested.
Only 1 episode left for Season 2!! Winter is coming!
This is really helpful. I’m a bookreader, but for the life of me, I had no idea that there was a master of laws and master of ships. I’m sure you made quite the effort to squeeze in everything in the infographic. Kudos to you!
WOW! Amazing.
Minor Correction:
The link between Maron + Rodrik Greyjoy and Robert Baratheon has two arrowheads.
Great infographic
in the books they actually think that Jon Snow is not Eddard Stark’s son. they actually believe that it is Lyanna’s son
2 errors.
Missing the blacksmith bastard of the king.
Geoffrey isn’t related to the king.
This is amazing!!! I am listening to the books via Audible and this is such a great help since I don’t have the visuals and it can be quite confusing. LOVE Game of Thrones!!! Thank You!!
Will you make ones for the episodes in Season 2? Love, love, love the episode by episode guide! Has made my viewing so much more enjoyable as I can understand all the characters and relationships as known that far in the series without spoiling anything.
Absolutely perfect!
Magad – Please tell us that you WILL be making one for Season 2 along with Epsiode Guide versions?…?
This is fantastic! Thank you so much!
Apologize for the typo/misspelling of your name….. “Magda” of course
This is really amazing! I just have a question though… isn’t it Littlefinger who’s interested in Catelyn, not Pycelle? Or are they both?
Nevermind I misread the thing
Is there any way we can buy these as posters?
Thanks for all your hard work. This is awesome.
