Although a generally faithful adaptation, Game of Thrones has consistently and deliberately cut nearly all mentions of the history of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros in an effort to trim as much narrative fat off of the plot bone as possible. While this has served the show in fine stead for its first five seasons, season six has unexpectedly had this 12,000-year-long history come popping up into the main story, setting the stage for the series’s final two (partial) seasons and attempting to provide as much of the same payoff as author George R.R. Martin will do in his final two upcoming novels as possible.
