We believe that George R. R. Martin has put a lot of effort and thought into creating a deeper dimension of archetype and symbol in his writing. He’s created connections between past and future, between sky and ground. He’s built on classic figures from world mythology and twisted them around in new and incredible ways to fashion his own archetypal characters whose divine roles are played out by the characters in the story. He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but because he’s actually participating in a grand tradition of esoteric, symbolic art. Keeping this tradition alive is of critical importance and tremendous value to society, and that is why I believe this facet of A Song of Ice and Fire is so worthy of study. This podcast is intended to be our vehicle to explore these inner workings, and it is fueled by enthusiasm, yours and mine.

Where did the Dothraki Come From? Culture & History - A Song of Ice and Fire - A Game of Thrones
My ultimate guide to Dothraki culture, religion, and history begins with the question "where did the Dothraki come from?" They do have an origin that predates their presence on the Dothraki sea, and to uncover it, we'll follow the twin trails of historical / physical evidence and religious / mythological evidence. Plenty of Essosi history, plenty of Dany and Drogo, and even Great Empire of the Dawn mythology included as well!
