Game of Thrones
The high-water mark for television scale, and a lesson in how hard endings are. Westeros, the great houses and their words, every Valyrian blade in the story, the eight seasons, and the six hours everyone still talks about. For the record: House Stark, all the way. Winter is coming.
When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.Cersei Lannister · A Game of Thrones
Seven kingdoms on one continent, held together by a chair made out of a thousand surrendered swords and nothing else. The Wall in the north, King's Landing in the south, and about eight hundred miles of people who would rather be ruling.
The blade is Ice: four hundred years of Valyrian steel, wide as a man's hand, and Ned Stark swings it himself because the man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. Tywin Lannister has it melted down into two smaller ones, which tells you everything about both houses.
