GoT Primer - Episode 5 - "The Greyjoys & the Iron Islands"

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. 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 5, we cover House Greyjoy and their domain, the Iron Islands.  How long have the Greyjoys ruled the Ironborn, and how have they influenced the history of Westeros?  Who is Theon Greyjoy, and why does he live with the Starks at Winterfell?
