where is game of thrones supposed to be
Game of Thrones Set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos, Game of Thrones has several plot lines and a large ensemble cast but centers on three primary story arcs. The first story arc centers on the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms and follows a web of alliances and conflicts among the dynastic noble families either vying to claim the throne or fighting for independence from the throne. The second story arc focuses on the last descendant of the realm's deposed ruling dynasty, exiled and plotting a return to the throne. The third story arc centers on the longstanding brotherhood charged with defending the realm against the ancient threats of the fierce peoples and legendary creatures that lie far north, and an impending winter that threatens the realm.
Samwell Tarly Sam is portrayed by John Bradley West in the HBO television adaptation.[2][3][4]
The City & the City A four-part television adaptation by the BBC was broadcast in 2018.
Game of Thrones The series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism.[8][9] George R.R. Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy, with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles, political intrigue, and the characters, believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre.[10][11][12] Martin has stated that "the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves."[13]
Gendry Gendry is portrayed by English actor Joe Dempsie in the HBO television adaptation.[2][3][4] He and the rest of the cast were nominated for Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2014.
