THE GAME OF THRONES INFOGRAPHIC YOU NEED
Last Sunday, HBO’s Game of Thrones returned to TV, laptop, and mobile screens everywhere- setting the modern-day record for piracy with over 1 million downloads in a 24-hour period. The epic is in its third season and as the characters pile up and begin to venture beyond their home base of Westoros, fans may be feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Luckily designer Nigel Evan Davis has created “Where have all the Wildlings gone?” - an incredibly detailed infographic for the series. His site comes complete with character sketches, a key of houses, and “the complete recorded history of Westoros extending back over 12,500 years”. Davis plans on updating as the series progresses so GOT-ers can have their cheat sheet ready at all times.
