About this episode
This episode explores the Winter Wolves and their fierce dedication to the dragon queen during the Dance of the Dragons.
“We’ve come to die for the dragon queen,” said Roddy the Ruin of the Winter Wolves, a group of fearless greybeards from the North sent in advance of Lord Cregan Stark’s greater forces, and the only army in the Dance of the Dragons that didn’t want to survive, let alone return home. We explore their glorious deeds and battles alongside the cultural history that drove them to fight as ferociously as they did.
