The Noble Houses and Key Players
Before you test your wit against the Westerosi winds of the Brainfall quiz, let's sharpen your knowledge of the Game of Thrones Season 1 nobility and their intricate web of relationships.
Starks of Winterfell: Honorable to a Fault
Meet the Starks—the epitome of honor in Westeros. Eddard "Ned" Stark, the head of House Stark, holds the north with a firm but fair grip. His offspring, including Robb, the stoic eldest son, Sansa, whose dreams of royalty are... well, complicated, Arya, with a rebellious streak a mile wide, Bran, who learns to fly in his dreams, and Rickon, rarely seen and even more rarely heard, are all brimming with family pride. And let's not forget the brooding Jon Snow, the bastard with a heart of gold—whose direwolf Ghost, is as silent as his name suggests.
Lannisters of Casterly Rock: When You Play the Game of Loans
Gold and green as their colors, the Lannisters sure know how to keep things in the family, sometimes uncomfortably so. At the head of this golden-haired pack is Tywin Lannister, a man as rich in coin as he is in cunning. His children? Jaime, the Kingslayer, who loves his sister more than the law allows; Cersei, the queen whose whispers echo through the halls of power, and Tyrion, the imp who's the tallest when sitting atop a mound of clever quips.
Baratheons and the Iron Throne: A Royal Pain
King Robert Baratheon, the man whose rebellion put him on the Iron Throne, is a stormy presence with a penchant for wine, women, and wild boar hunts. Around him swirl the whispers of various alleged heirs, including his brothers Renly and Stannis and his queen's children—whose golden crowns may hide slightly less golden locks.
Targaryens: Fire, Blood, and Bad Hair Days
Exiled and eager, Viserys Targaryen is the beggar king with a crown of molten gold dreams, while his sister, Daenerys "Dany" Targaryen, begins her journey from a pawn in the great game to the Mother of Dragons. Aided by her loyal yet exiled knight, Ser Jorah Mormont, and her new husband, Khal Drogo, Dany finds that fire cannot kill a dragon—nor temper bad hair days.
Notable Supporting Cast: Friends and Foes Alike
Every hero is only as good as their sidekick—or their nemesis. Peter "Littlefinger" Baelish and Varys, the Spider, are the schemers in the shadows, tugging on the strings of power. Bran Stark takes tutelage from Osha, the wildling with a heart, while Syrio Forel teaches Arya that the greatest sword is the one your opponent never sees. Across the Narrow Sea, the Dothraki provide a crash course in horseback diplomacy to Dany and company.
Recap this house roster, remember the faces, and keep the family trees straight—if you can. Now, go forth and tackle your quiz with the confidence of Tyrion Lannister walking into a wine shop!
Memorable Moments and Scandals
Dive into the treacherous waters of Westeros where the boundary between friend and foe is as thin as Valyrian steel. Ready your wits, for you'll need them to navigate the iconic scenes and unforgivable trespasses of the first season.
Dire Situations and Direwolves: Furry Companions
The Stark children found more than just pets in their direwolves; they found fierce protectors and symbols of their house. Remember when Bran Stark was saved from a wildling ambush by his direwolf, Summer? Or when Sansa's dream of having a lady-like direwolf came crashing down, mirroring the Stark family's fall from grace? Quiz your knowledge on these furry companions and their fates.
Shocking Twists and Savage Betrayals: Keep Your Friends Close
You thought you had friends in high places? Just ask Eddard Stark, beheaded on the steps of Baelor at the whim of King Joffrey, which ignited the war of the Five Kings. Petyr Baelish's ("Littlefinger") treachery still stings, doesn't it? Put your memory to the test and see if you can trace the web of deceit that altered the course of the Seven Kingdoms.
