We take a small detour from our regularly scheduled bullying to play as Captain Spirit. There are no little brothers in this but there is a drunken father, so we’ll have to take out our aggression on his mac and cheese.
War is coming to Westeros. Queen Rhaenyra does her best to prevent a schism in the kingdom. It’s not easy when your husband is Daemon.
