    Make a better OP and people will post in it instead

    Because this is seriously a lame, beat-everybody-to-the-GRRM-punch OP

    I feel like that Rhaegar image is suggesting to other soldiers "Don't die a chumps death like Rhaegar here! Do it from behind!"

    I thought the old thread got locked a day or two ago.

    But maybe I'm thinking of something else.

    No.

    It is emphatically not about wizards. And when there IS magic involved, it's more Lovecraft than Tolkien.

    Read it.

    You're in luck then because this is mostly about kick-ass knights killing each other with big swords.

    It's mostly about medieval politics and knights, with some ancient evil in the north.

    There's some magic, but not a lot. There's also some dragons too, but they all died out
    ok, yeah there are some living dragons, but you have to read a bit before that happens
