The world of A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones for the non-book fans) is a vast and epic one. It’s hard to describe it in a sentence, a paragraph and even more. But a nice little colored story, depicting 26 of the characters using the A-Z system? Doesn’t cover all of it, but it’s certainly awesome.
Below this is the link to the full image, which just too big for out website. Like most ASOIAF posts, this has plenty of spoilers for those who are just following the TV series. If you aren’t that advanced, don’t scroll down. For the rest, enjoy, and there’s cheat sheet to help you identify the more obscure references in this awesome work by Curtana.
