Welcome to the first installment of our Game of Thrones Primer. There's been a lot of excitement for the new TV series on HBO, and we here at Fully Integrated Geeks have been trying to think of content we can provide new fans of the franchise. Here's what we've come up with. We're going to record mini-podcasts that provide some of the depth and details that can't or won't make it into the TV show. These are bits of history, geography, and legend that careful readers of the books have been able to pick up over the last 15 years. One final, very important note: these Primers are not full of spoilers. We won't be discussing anything that happens once the books begin, and we won't be discussing any "secrets" that are revealed during the course of the books. We're only interested in helping you fill-out your knowledge of the lush world George R.R. Martin has created for the Game of Thrones.
----------
In Episode 1, we cover the recent history of Westeros. Who are the Targaryens? If they were in charge before, why aren't they on the throne anymore? Why does King Robert hate them so much? And how did he become King Robert in the first place?
