Hi Throners! Ashton here, and today we want to know which historical character you would love to see on the show. We are throwing logic out the window, and we are choosing, of these historical icons, which one you would find most intriguing to see on the small screen. This is Part 2 of this series, as there were originally ten options and I did not know the max poll amount was changed to five :sweat_smile: Anyways, to me, this is such a difficult decision because all of these figures are shrouded in mystery or made themselves very, very prominent on the political scale (I'm looking at you Nymeria). Let's get into the options. For Part 2, various individuals from different houses and regions:
Lann the Clever

The founder of House Lannister. I'm obsessed with the Age of Heroes as it is, but his story especially interests me. He somehow takes over Casterly Rock, and no one truly knows how he did it as there are multiple stories. I would love to see him purely to know what the VERY FIRST Lannister looks like and how he actually went about acquiring the Casterly stronghold.
Nymeria

Who wouldn't want to see Nymeria and her 10,000 ships? I would love to see her perspective in order to see her interactions with her people and the ancient Valyrians she had skirmishes with. Also, I would love to see the lands she visited whilst traveling to Westeros. Moreover, I would love to see her interactions with the Dornish once arriving to Westeros. GIVE IT TO ME.
Garth Greenhand

A historical figure from the Age of Heroes. Had a shit ton of famous kids. He was regarded as the High King of the First Men. I would love to see his shenanigans in the Reach. He is said to be the father of Brandon of the Bloody Blade, who is the predecessor to House Stark, as it is rumored that he is the father of Bran the Builder. He is also rumored to have been the father of the likes of Florys the Fox and Lann the Clever. Basically this guy is behind most of our current Houses in Westeros. I would love to see this.
The Grey King

Styled as the High King of the Iron Islands, almost all houses of this location claim descent from him. He is said to have ruled for 1,007 years and has a very interesting history. He slew the sea dragon Nagga, took a mermaid as his wife, brought fire to the world, and made the very first longship from the wood of a flesh eating tree. I would honestly love to see any of these things happen on screen. Gives us more perspective on the Ironborn side of things, which has never been my favorite part of the ASoIaF story.
Brandon the Shipwright

A legendary King in The North. He built a Northern fleet and sailed West across the Sunset Sea and was never seen nor heard from again. I would love to know what happened to him, specifically if he encountered any new peoples or lands.
Andddddd that's it! Hope y'all enjoyed. I really like making this poll series, so if you'd like for me to keep going, let me know as we definitely have an abundance of historical characters to talk about. Until next time...

Brandon or Grey King.
The backstory of Nymeria is one of my favorites! I would love to see that on screen. Great poll! :+1:
Nymeria was the only one that was real, the rest (I think) were myths

Myth or not, they are discussed in A World of Ice and Fire. So for the sake of the post, we are assuming they are real, or at least the person was real even if their story was exaggerated (like Garth Greenhand and the Grey King). Brandon the Shipwright however was 100% real. He was a King in the North and his son after him (Brandon the Burner I believe) burned the Northern fleet as a result of his father's disappearance at sea

There is no certainty with The legends surrounding these figures. But assuredly, there was a founder of House Lannister, The Ironborn, the Reach/Stormlands...
So, while their actual deeds may be hard to , every house must have a founder.
Brandon the Shipwright was different, he has more historical basis than Lann or Garth.
