Game Of Thrones Quiz

Winter Is Coming: The World of Westeros

Game of Thrones was one of the most popular television series in history, airing on HBO from 2011 to 2019 across eight seasons. Based on George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novel series, the show depicted a brutal struggle for control of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, while a supernatural threat - The White Walkers and their army of the dead - Loomed from beyond the Wall in the north.

The show was known for its political complexity, morally ambiguous characters, and shocking willingness to kill off major characters. The "Red Wedding" in Season 3 - Where the Stark family is massacred at a wedding feast - Became one of the most shocking moments in television history. Major houses in the series include House Stark (sigil: direwolf, words: "Winter is Coming"), House Lannister (sigil: lion, words: "Hear Me Roar"), and House Targaryen (sigil: dragon, words: "Fire and Blood").

At its peak, Game of Thrones drew over 19 million viewers per episode in the United States alone. The show won 59 Emmy Awards - The most for any drama series. The final season (Season 8) was controversial among fans who felt it rushed the conclusion of several storylines. George R.R. Martin's remaining novels, "The Winds of Winter" and "A Dream of Spring," have not yet been published. The spin-off series "House of the Dragon" premiered on HBO in 2022.
