About this episode

The episode explores the identity of the Last Hero and the significance of swords named 'Ice' in the context of A Song of Ice and Fire.

Who was the last hero? Was he a Dayne, a Stark, or even Azor Ahai himself? Where did he get his sword of "dragonsteel," and why have the Starks been naming their swords "Ice" for eight thousand years? And why did the Simpsons somehow know the truth of the Kings of Winter back in the 1990's? answers inside! ???? Join our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/davidlightbringer ????
