-------------------------------------------

Map of the Known Houses of the North and Tour Through the Winterfell - Duration: 32:35.

Now I will tell you more about the houses and castles of the north.

Though not that much is known about most of them.

In the north, off the north-eastern coast of Westeros, in the Shivering Sea, separated

from the mainland by the Bay of Seals, lies the island of Skagos.

Three houses, or clans, as some refer to them, populate the island - House Crowl, Magnar,

and Stane.

Although they are considered a part of the North, they essentially govern themselves

and have little to no contact with the outside world.

A century ago the Skagosi unsuccessfully rebelled against the Starks.

House Crowl of Deepdown.

Deepdown is a fortified cave, not a castle, and the wedges on it's coat of arms symbolize

stalactytes and stalagmytes.

The words of house Crowl are: "Amid The Earth".

House Stane of Driftwood Hall.

House Magnar of Kinghouse.

Their name derives from magnar, an Old Tongue word meaning "lord".

House Karstark of Karhold.

They are a cadet branch of their overlords, the Starks of Winterfell, and are among their

principal bannermen.

Their founder was Karlon Stark, who put down a rebel lord and was granted lands for his

valor.

The castle he built was named Karl's Hold, but that soon became Karhold, and over the

centuries the Karhold Starks became Karstarks.

Karstarks are big, fierce men, bearded and long-haired, with brown hair and blue-grey

eyes, and favor wearing cloaks made of the pelts of seals, bears, and wolves.

The words of house Karstark are: "The Sun of Winter".

House Umber of the Last Hearth.

House Umber is an ancient house who once ruled as First Men kings.

They are hardy people, tempered by the rough northern climate.

After many struggles, the Umbers were reduced from royals to vassals of House Stark, the

Kings of Winter.

Their lands are in the far north of the Stark territories, just south of the Wall and the

lands held by the Night's Watch, and it is a place of wild hills and ancient forests

of oak and pine.

With the exception of the castles of the Night's Watch, Last Hearth is the northernmost major

castle of the Seven Kingdoms and it's proximity to the Wall puts Umbers at risk of wildling

raids and they have often been called upon to help defend the north against wildling

raiders.

Lord Greatjon Umber's cousin, the daughter of Mors Umber, was carried off in a wildling

raid.

Although they deny it, Umber lords are rumored to still practice the tradition of the lord's

right to the first night, which was banned during the reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen.

Amongst other possibilities, the Night's King is rumored to have been an Umber.

House Bolton of the Dreadfort.

An ancient and powerful house of First Men descent who once ruled as Red Kings from the

Dreadfort.

Since the Long Night the Red Kings were bitter rivals of the Kings of Winter, the Starks

of Winterfell.

The Boltons achieved some successes against the Starks, with Kings Royce II and Royce

IV burning Winterfell.

The Boltons are said to have flayed the skins of several Stark lords and hung them in the

Dreadfort.

According to rumor, some Bolton lords wore the flayed skins of their enemies—including

Starks, — as cloaks.

This practice has given the Boltons a sinister reputation.

Boltons had a long history of rebellion against Starks, to the point where they became known

as the "Bane of the North".

The last Red King, Rogar the Huntsman, submitted to Winterfell when the Andal invasion of Westeros

was beginning.

King Theon Stark, the Hungry Wolf, and the Boltons defeated Argos Sevenstar and his Andals

in the Battle of the Weeping Water.

Thousands of years ago, the Dreadfort rose in an unsuccessful rebellion with the Greystarks

of the Wolf's Den against the Starks.

The Boltons survived the rebellion, although the Greystarks did not.

During the Rape of the Three Sisters by the Kings of Winter, which occurred two thousand

years ago, Belthasar Bolton had a Pink Pavilion made from the flayed skins of a hundred Sistermen.

Approximately a thousand years ago, the Boltons bent their knees to Winterfell and agreed

to abandon their practice of flaying their enemies.

Also a thousand years ago, Karlon Stark built a castle on land taken from a rebel lord;

it is possible this land of House Karstark was taken from the Boltons.

For many centuries the Boltons have remained loyal to the Starks, although rumors persist

that they continue to flay their prisoners in secret and maintain a hidden chamber in

the Dreadfort to display the skins of their enemies.

When Lord Eddard Stark called the banners of the north to fight in Robert's Rebellion,

Lord Roose Bolton took up arms, fighting in the Battle of the Trident.

Afterward, he counseled that Lord Robert Baratheon should slash the throat of the legendary Kingsguard

knight Ser Barristan Selmy, but Robert sent for his maesters instead.

Dreadfort is a strong fortress, with high walls and triangular merlons that look like

sharp stone teeth.

It has thick stone walls and massive towers.

Its great hall is dim and smoky, with rows of torches grasped by skeletal human hands

jutting from the walls.

Long tables stand before a dais with a high table.

The hall has a vaulted ceiling and wooden rafters turned black from smoke.

The words of house Bolton are: "Our blades are sharp."

House Hornwood of Hornwood.

They are among the principal bannermen of Starks of Winterfell.

Hornwood and its lands are located between the Manderlys of White Harbor and the Boltons

of the Dreadfort and have been contested between the two in the past.

The Hornwoods maintain their independence from both due to their loyalty to the Starks.

The words of house Hornwood are "Righteous in Wrath".

House Flint of Widow's Watch, a minor castle that extends to the northern peninsula known

as the Bite.

They are probably the most powerful branch of House Flint.

Their words are: "Ever Vigilant".

House Woolfield.

A lesser house, connected to the Manderlys of nearby White Harbor.

House Locke of Oldcastle.

The Lockes ruled as First Men kings after the Long Night, but they were eventually reduced

to vassals by the Kings of Winter from House Stark.

House Manderly of White Harbor.

House Manderly were once a powerful noble house of the Reach.

Centuries ago they were driven out of the Reach and were given sanctuary and lands by

House Stark in exchange for their pledge of fealty.

Starks gave the Wolf's Den and the surrounding lands to the Manderly's, leading to the

creation of White Harbor around the Wolf's Den.

King Jon Stark founded the Wolf's Den, a castle at the mouth of the White Knife, after he

drove out sea raiders who were using the harbor as a base for raids inland.

For centuries the castle was held by various Starks and offshoot branches, such as the

Greystarks.

Other families who were lords of the Wolf's Den in the past included the Flints, Lockes,

Slates, Longs, Holts, and Ashwoods, all tasked by Winterfell to defend the White Knife.

The ancient castle is now used as a prison, as the Manderlys reside at the New Castle

and receive visitors in the Merman's Court.

The Manderlys still keep many traditions from the South, because even though they are descended

from the First Men just like their fellow Northmen, they have long ago adopted the Faith

of the Seven and the culture of the past Andal invaders.

They are the richest House in the North through fish, grain and overseas trade.

Lord Wyman manderly is the head of the house, and he is so fat he can no longer ride a horse

and must be carried in a litter, leading to the nickname Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse.

He is nearly sixty years old, with a massive belly and fingers the size of sausages.

Wyman is amiable and has a loud, booming laugh.

He is mocked by his own people as Lord Lamprey.

By his own admission, and because of his physical appearance, Wyman is seen by many as craven

and foolish, however, this is a clever front; he is shrewd, calculating and intelligent.

He is also staunchly loyal to House Stark.

The proud and pale New Castle is built atop a hill rising above the city's thick white

walls.

The broad, stepped Castle Stair is a white stone street that leads from the Wolf's Den

up the hill to the New Castle.

There is a clear view of both of the city's harbors from the hilltop.

The Merman's Court is the great hall of the New Castle where the Manderlys hold court.

Chambers within the castle are handsomely furnished.

The household guard wear cloaks of blue-green wool and carry silver tridents instead of

spears.

The Manderlys decorate their castle with faded banners, broken shields and rusted swords

from ancient victories, and wooden figures from the prows of ships.

There is a secret passage beneath the Castle Stair that leads from the New Castle to the

Wolf's Den.

White Harbor is the largest settlement north of the Neck, but the smallest among the five

major cities of Westeros.

It is the north's primary trade port as well.

Its location on the mouth of the White Knife provides opportunities for trade further north.

City itself is clean and well-ordered, with wide straight cobbled streets that make it

easy to walk around.

The houses are built of whitewashed stone, with steeply-pitched roofs of dark grey slate.

Due to its location White Harbor has more contact with the south and there are more

knights and followers of the Faith of the Seven in White Harbor than anywhere else in

the north.

The Lord of White Harbor, Wyman Manderly, influences all lands and houses east of the

mouth of the White Knife, including Houses Locke, Woolfield, and Flint of Widow's Watch.

Their bannermen include a dozen petty lords and a hundred landed knights.

House Slate of Blackpool.

The Slates ruled as First Men kings after the Long Night, but they eventually submitted

to the Kings of Winter and became vassals of House Stark of Winterfell.

House Cerwyn of Castle Cerwyn.

They are one of the closest bannermen to the Starks, Castle Cerwyn being just a half day's

ride from Winterfell, and are among the most powerful as well.The words of house Cerwyn

are: "Honed And Ready".

The mountain clans or hill clans are groups of northmen who dwell in the mountains north

of Wolfswood and in the foothills along the shore of the Bay of Ice.

Generally considered petty lords, they should not be confused with the mountain clans of

the Vale of Arryn, who are considered savages.

The quarrelsome clans of the rugged northwest are a hardy people who, like other northmen,

claim descent from the First Men and worship the old gods.

There are roughly forty mountain clans, large and small, the most prominent of which are

the the Wulls, the most powerful of the clans, then - the Harclays, the Norreys, the Knotts,

the First Flints, called like that because the House Flint of Widow's Watch and House

Flint of Flint's Finger are cadet branches of the family, then, the Liddles, and the

Burleys.

Although they do not consider themselves truly highborn, the chiefs of these clans are given

the treatment of "lord" by their lieges, the Starks of Winterfell.

Given their high latitude and sparse resources, the clans suffer population strain during

winter years.

The young are sent to the Starks' winter town, and old men often announce that they are "going

hunting."

Some are found the next spring; more are never seen again.

The clans have often quarreled with each other, leading the Starks to settle the disputes

by force or by calling the chiefs to Winterfell.

These feuds are recalled in songs, such as "Black Pines" and "Wolves in the Hills".

The clans' territory has also been historically raided by wildlings and ironborn.

House Glover of Deepwood Motte.

The Glovers ruled as First Men kings after the Long Night, but they were eventually reduced

to vassals by the Kings of Winter from House Stark.

Deepwood Motte is a wooden motte-and-bailey castle.The lands of Glovers extend throughout

the Wolfswood.

Minor Wolfswood houses, like Boles, Branches, Woods, Forresters and others are their vassals.

Due to the location of their stronghold, Ironrath, on the edge of the Wolfswood, the Forresters

control the largest ironwood forest in Westeros, which has allowed them to enrich themselves.

They are bitter rivals of House Whitehill.

The words of house Forrester are: "Iron From Ice".

House Whitehill of Highpoint.

They are loyal vassals of House Bolton.

Their seat is the stone castle of Highpoint.

They are one of the few houses in the North to practice the Faith of the Seven.

The words of house Whitehill are: "Ever Higher".

House Mormont of Bear Island.

It is an old, proud, and honorable house of the north.

House Mormont is one of the few houses to have an ancestral weapon of Valyrian steel:

a sword called Longclaw.

However, due to Bear Island's lack of valuable resources, the Mormonts are a rather poor

house, that's why Mormont hall is made just of huge logs, surrounded by an earthen palisade.

On the gate is a carving of a woman in a bearskin with a child in one arm suckling at her breast

and a battleaxe in the other.

Like the other women of Bear Island, the women of House Mormont learn how to defend themselves

from ironmen and wildlings.

Island is densely forested with a large bear population which earned the island its name.

According to legend, in ancient times, Bear Island was ruled by House Woodfoot, who were

wiped out when the Ironborn conquered the island.

During the Age of Heroes, Rodrik Stark allegedly won control of the island in a wrestling match

with an ironborn.

Rodrik gave Bear Island to the Mormonts who have been loyal supporters of the Starks ever

since.

Lord Jeor Mormont arranged a marriage for his son, Jorah, to a girl from House Glover

when Jorah was still relatively young.

While the marriage lasted ten years, the couple had no children.

Jorah's wife eventually died after not being able to recover from her third childbirth.

By the time she died, Lord Jeor had joined the Night's Watch, where he rose quickly through

the ranks and was eventually elected Lord Commander..

When Lord Eddard Stark called his banners to fight in Robert's Rebellion, Jorah joined

the rebels, and fought in the Battle of the Trident.

Jorah fought during the Greyjoy Rebellion as well, and earned fame both in the war and

the subsequent tourney at Lannisport, held to celebrate the victory over the Iron Islands.

He met Lynesse Hightower at the tourney, and fell in love with her.

After winning the jousting, he crowned Lynesse his queen of love and beauty, and asked her

father, Lord Leyton Hightower, for her hand in marriage, which he granted.

However, life on Bear Island differed significantly from life at Oldtown, and Jorah spend all

of his money to keep her happy.

Finally, after trying to sell poachers to a Tyroshi slaver to increase his income, Jorah

fled from the north to the Free Cities with his wife upon learning that Lord Eddard Stark

of Winterfell was coming to Bear Island to pass on the king's judgement.

In the Free Cities, Jorah and Lynesse lived in exile in Lys, and Jorah became a sellsword

after they ran out of money in half a year.

However, while he was away, Lynesse became the concubine of a merchant prince, and Jorah

was exiled from Lys as well.

Jorah's aunt and Jeor's sister, Maege, inherited Bear Island after Jorah fled the Seven Kingdoms.

The words of House Mormont are: "Here We Stand".

House Tallhart of Torrhen's Square.

Torrhen's Square is a formidable stone keep.

The town surrounding it is protected by stone walls thirty feet high.The words of house

Tallhart are: "Proud and Free" House Glenmore of Rillwater Crossing.

They hold fielty to House Ryswell of the Rills.

The Glenmores have significant ties to House Tyrell, and are also on relatively good terms

with House Forrester.

House Ryswell of The Rills.

It is a proud and large house.

They rule over the Rills, a region located west of the Barrowlands.

The Ryswells, alongside Dustins, are the first to declare for House Bolton when Lord Roose

is named Warden of the North, due to the kinship between them.

They are among the very few truly loyal vassals House Bolton has.

An old story tells that when seventy-nine deserters left the Wall, one of them was the

youngest son of Lord Ryswell, who decided to look for shelter at his father's keep.

However, Lord Ryswell returned his son and his companions to the Nightfort, where they

were buried alive in the ice to forever stand the watch they had abandoned.

Late in his life Lord Ryswell took the black to end his days watching behind his son.

Lord Rodrik Ryswell hoped to advance the status of his House by marrying his daughter Barbrey

to a House Stark of Winterfell, but Brandon Stark, the heir of Lord Rickard Stark, was

instead betrothed to Catelyn Tully.

Barbrey instead wed Willam Dustin, Lord of Barrowton.

After Brandon and Rickard were killed by King Aerys II Targaryen, Lord Eddard Stark wed

Catelyn instead of Barbrey.

Both Lord Dustin and Ser Mark Ryswell died fighting beside Eddard at the Tower of Joy

in the aftermath of Robert's Rebellion.

House Dustin of Barrowton.

The Dustins claim descent from the First King of the First Men and the Barrow Kings of the

barrowlands, which they honor with the inclusion of a rusted crown in their sigil.

The First King was the legendary sovereign of the First Men when they first arrived in

Westeros around 12,000 years before Aegon's Landing, according to the people of the North.

It was under his leadership that the First Men travelled to Westeros from Essos.

The First King led his people across the land bridge called the Arm of Dorne; though some

legends from the Reach claim that Garth Greenhand was the High King of the First Men who led

his people to Westeros.

Singers claim the Barrow Kings fought against the Kings of Winter, the Starks of Winterfell,

north of the barrowlands, in the Thousand Years War, but runes of the First Men indicate

that the conflict lasted about two hundred years.

When the last Barrow King submitted to Winterfell, the Stark king received his daughter in marriage.

There are mentions of a curse that was supposedly placed on the Great Barrow, that supposedly

contains the grave of the First King of the First Men or a King of the Giants, and that

this curse is weakening and making corpselike any living man who dared to equal the First

King.

Some maesters think the corpse queen of the Night's King may have actually been a daughter

of a Barrow King, as they were often connected with graves.

Lord Roderick Dustin led two thousand northern soldiers, known as the Winter Wolves, during

the Dance of the Dragons, in support of Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Lord Willam Dustin was one of the six companions that fought alongside Eddard Stark at the

Tower of Joy.

His bones were buried in Dorne.

House Dustin controls Barrowton, occasionally called Barrowtown, that is a prominent town

in which contains Barrow Hall, the seat of House Dustin.

Barrowton is centered around the large hill Great Barrow, on which Barrow Hall was built.

The town itself is wooden and has broad straight streets.

Barrow hall has wooden walls and square towers.

There is an old windmill and a grassy courtyard located near the gatehouse.

Wide and wooden stairs lead up the hill to Barrow Hall's keep.

House Stout of Goldgrass.

It is a petty noble house who have a modest keep near the eastern gate of Barrowton.

It is sworn to House Dustin.

House Flint of Flint's Finger.

It is suggested that the Night's King was a Flint, among the many possibilities.

Lord Commander Rodrik Flint is regarded as one of the worst commanders of the Night's

Watch, for trying to make himself King-Beyond-the-Wall.

One of the darkest legends of the Wall is the rape and murder of brave young Danny Flint

in the Nightfort.

Flint's Finger is noted for being built over towering cliffs.

House Reed of Greywater Watch.

They are one of the principal families in the north.

Reeds control the vast area of swampland and bog stretching across the narrowest part of

the continent of Westeros, the Neck.

The Reeds and their vassals are Crannogmen, a distinct off-shoot of the First Men who

have adapted to living in the swamps of the Neck after, according to legend, the Neck

turned into a swamp when greenseers used the hammer of the waters.

Some maesters instead believe the landscape was caused by a natural event though.

Crannogmen are often called the swamp-dwellers, the frog-eaters, the mud men, and even bog

devils, by the ironborn.

The Neck was originally an independent realm ruled by the Marsh Kings, until King Rickard

Stark of Winterfell defeated the last Marsh King and married his daughter, annexing the

Neck to the domain of the Kings of Winter.

House Stark was able to preserve northern independence by holding the Neck and Moat

Cailin.

Some children of the forest may have fled to the Neck during the Andal invasion.

The Neck contains huge flowers, lizard-lions, and many snakes.

The trees are half-drowned and covered in fungus, and beneath the water, quicksand will

drown anyone who attempts to walk the waters.

The Neck is considered the key to any assault on the north.

Howland Reed was one of the six companions of Eddard Stark that went with him to the

Tower of Joy, and the only one that survived the fight against the three members of Aerys

II Targaryen's Kingsguard.

Eddard said that he would not have survived the battle if it were not for Howland.

He is said to have remained in the Neck since the end of Robert's Rebellion.

Greywater Watch, the seat of House Reed, is nigh-untraceable, as it is built upon a crannog,

one of the man-made floating islands of the swamps, and it does not stay in the same place,

making it impossible for ravens or enemies to find.

There is no maester there, nor any knights or masters-at-arms.

Ironborn and Andal warriors, including Freys, have attempted to conquer Greywater, but none

have been able to find it.

Many of the invaders rode into bogs and sank because of their armor.

House Reed has many sworn houses, through them: House Fenn, House Peat, House Cray,

House Quagg, House Greengood, House Blackmyre and house Boggs.

House Stark of Winterfell.

It is a principal noble house of the north.

In days of old they ruled as Kings of Winter, but since Aegon's Conquest they have been

Wardens of the North and ruled as Lords of Winterfell.

Their seat, Winterfell, is an ancient castle renowned for its strength.

Aside from the Karstarks of Karhold, the Starks of Winterfell may have other, distant relatives

in the north.

White Harbor and Barrowton are considered to be likely options.

Some younger Starks have also held vassal holdfasts for the lords of Winterfell.

The Stark look consists of a long face, a lean build, dark brown hair and grey eyes.

House Stark was founded by Brandon the Builder, a legendary figure who lived during the Age

of Heroes.Tales from the Reach claim that Bran the Builder was a descendant of Brandon

of the Bloody Blade, who is credited for driving the giants away from the Reach and warring

against Children of the Forest, slaying so many of them at Blue Lake it became known

as Red Lake.

Brandon of the Bloody Blade was supposedly a son of the mythical Garth Greenhand.

According to legend, Brandon built the Wall and Winterfell; some stories say he did this

with the help of giants and that he also sought assistance from the children of the forest.

Tales from the stormlands claim Brandon helped Durran build Storm's End when he was a boy.

Some stories claim King Uthor of the High Tower commissioned Bran to design the stone

Hightower at Oldtown, while others state it was Bran's son, who was also named Brandon.

It is said that Bran the Builder gave the Night's Watch Brandon's Gift, a stretch of

land 25 leagues wide, but some maesters argue it was another Brandon of House Stark.

It has also been suggested, that the Night's King has been a Stark.

The ancient Starks gradually defeated rival kings, such as the Barrow Kings to their south

and the Red Kings from House Bolton of the Dreadfort.

About four hundred years before Robert Baratheon's reign, the Valyrian steel greatsword was spell-forged

in Valyria and acquired by the Starks, who named it "Ice".

Winterfell is the greatest castle of the North.

According to legend, House Stark has held a castle at Winterfell for 8,000 years, since

the Dawn Age, though it has been considerably expanded over the centuries.

The castle is located alongside the Kingsroad as it makes its way from the Wall to the capital

at King's Landing, more than a thousand miles to the south.

Castle is located on a hot springs, the furnaces of the world—the same fires that made the

Fourteen Flames or the smoking mountain of Dragonstone.

The hot water from those springs circulates through the walls and helps to keep the castle

warm during the harsh, long winters.

The winter town, so called because it lies mostly deserted during summer, has rows of

small houses built of log and undressed stone.

Its streets are muddy during summer, when four fifths of the homes are left empty.

During winter even clansmen from the northern mountains come to winter town hiding from

cold.

During long dark winters, warming by the hearths, smallfolk tells stories of a dragon whose

breath heats water beneath castle.

The great main gates have a drawbridge that opens into the market square of the winter

town.

The market square has wooden stalls for produce and goods and a well at its center.

The local alehouse is called Smoking Log.

Kingsroad lies past the castle and town.

The inner walls of Winterfell, which were once the only defensive walls, are estimated

to be some two thousand years old.

In later years, a defensive moat was dug around them, then, a second, outer wall was raised

beyond the moat.

The inner walls stand a hundred feet high, the outer walls eighty.

There are guard turrets on the outer wall and more than thirty watch turrets on the

crenelated inner walls North gate of Winterfell is much taller than

the South Gate, and there is a narrow tunnel inside of the inner wall stretching halfway

around the castle, allowing travel from the from third floor of the South Gate all the

way to the first floor of the north gate without interruption.

Hunter's gate opens directly onto open fields and the wolfswood, so people can come and

go without having to cross through the winter town.

Kennels and kitchens are located near it.

The First Keep is the oldest surviving part of the castle but is no longer in use.

Long abandoned tower, round and squat and decorated with gargoyles.

Around it lies a lichyard where the Kings of Winter would lay their loyal servants.

Crypts are also located in the oldest part of the castle.

The crypt's ironwood door, which is located in the oldest section of Winterfell near the

First Keep, is old and heavy.

The cold and dark crypt is accessible by narrow and winding spiral stone steps which lead

to multiple levels.

One floor contains a long line of granite pillars, two by two, between which are entombed

the dead of House Stark.

While all family members can have tombs in the crypts, statues are traditionally only

made for Kings in the North and Lords of Winterfell.

The likenesses of these high lords are carved into the stone.

Large stone direwolves curl at their feet.

According to tradition, iron longswords across each lord's lap keep vengeful spirits within

the crypt.

The cavernous vault is larger than Winterfell itself, with older Starks buried in deeper

and darker levels.

The lowest level is said to be partly collapsed.

The most recent tombs within the crypts are those of Lord Rickard Stark and his children,

Brandon and Lyanna.

The tombs further back, empty and unsealed, are saved for future dead of House Stark.

The broken tower, also known as the Burned Tower, was once the tallest watchtower in

Winterfell.

A lightning strike set it afire in the middle of the second century after Aegon's conquest,

and the top third of the tower collapsed inward, but no one bothered to rebuild it.

It stands behind the old inner ward.

The glass garden is a greenhouse covered with thick yellow glass.

It is heated by the hot springs, which turn it into a place of moist warmth.

It is used to grow fruits, vegetables and flowers.

A small ancient Godswood, covering three acres, is enclosed within the walls.

It has stood untouched for 10,000 years, At the center of the grove stands an ancient

weirwood with a face carved into it, standing over a pool of black water.

Across the godswood from the heart tree, beneath the windows of the Guest House, an underground

hot spring feeds three small pools, with a moss-covered wall looming above them.

The godswood is enclosed by walls, and is accessed by a main iron gate, or smaller wooden

ones.

The small sept was built for Lady Catelyn Tully, a southron, by her husband, Lord Eddard

Stark.

The Bell Tower is connected to the rookery by a bridge.

The bridge is covered and runs from the fourth floor of the tower to the second floor of

the rookery.

The maester's turret is located below the rookery.

The Library Tower houses the library at Winterfell.

A stonework staircase winds about its exterior.

The Great Keep is the main part of the castle complex.

Its walls are made of granite and it is connected to the armory by a covered bridge.

From a window on that bridge, one can see the entire yard.

The Great Hall is used for receiving guests and the place where the household would dine

together, including the lord of the house.

The Great Hall is very large.

On the outside it is enclosed with grey stone and covered with banners, with wide doors

made of oak and iron, which opens to the castle yard, whilst a rear exit leads to a dimly-lit

gallery.

Inside it can hold eight long rows of trestle tables, four to each side of the central aisle,

and can seat 500 people.

There is also a raised platform for noble guests.

The words of house Stark are: "Winter is coming" one of only a few house words to

be a warning rather than a boast.

Thank you for the attention.

Give signals to your maesters to send ravens to house scrivatv by pointing your thumbs

up.

Sometimes life is better with "Intentional Scarcity " @lifeasusualblog - Duration: 3:05.

Today I'm going to talk about why taking

things away might be the best thing to happen to you.

This is Life as Usual

a video blog dedicated to making you a

more impactful leader through ideas of

direction self-awareness and execution.

Today I want to talk about why it's

best to take things away from yourself.

The concept is "intentional scarcity." We

all have limited focus and we all have

way too much coming in. We all have too

many notifications, we all have too many

emails ,we all have too many clothes and

toys and video games everything. We all

suffer from what Pat Riley calls the

sickness of more. It's always more more

and more.

The problem with more more and more is

that you start taking away your focus

from everything else.Tt's like when you

eat there's a reason why really good

restaurants put a very limited selection

in front of you. They want you to

actually taste the food as opposed to

just getting samples of everything. You

can't focus on great foodThe same way

if there's too much of it it's best to

have very little and that's intentional

scarcity. It's taking away the things

that don't matter and being intentional

about it in order for you to have the

focus on the things that matter. This is

important for leaders because as a

leader people are going to come at you

with almost everything.

Because as a leader they expect you to

solve their problems or they expect you

to at least be "in the know." Well, the truth

is you don't need to know everything you

just need to know the right things so

being intentional with intentional

scarcity and focusing on the right

things that matter

creates a situation for you to have

more impact in the place around you.

Intentional scarcity is important

because as an impactful leader you want

to have impact on the things that matter

and not the things that don't .My

challenge for this video

simple take a look at something around

anything notes on your office desk or

particular emails that can be filed away

in a folder that doesn't get a

notification text app and get rid of it.

Stay away from it for about a week.

When you're done send me an email my

email will be in the description box and

tell me how it went

make sure you use the subject line

Iintentional Scarcity

What Noise Does A Bug Make? - Duration: 4:04.

(playful music)

- [Teacher] Alana, what noise does a cat make?

- Meow?

- [Teacher] Very good!

Graham, what noise does a cow make?

- Mooo.

- [Woman] Excellent!

Petey, F-what noise does a bug make?

(loud rip)

- [Petey Voiceover] F-what kind of stupid-ass question

is that?

Last I checked, bugs don't make noise.

This is some Zen Buddhist koan about one-hand-clappin'

John Cage 4'33-type bullshit, am I right?

(babies cooing)

- [Teacher] Wanna give it a try, Petey?

(horror music)

- [Grasshopper] Hey, kid.

(oriental music)

Woof.

- [Teacher] Come on, Petey.

Give it a try.

What noise does a bug make?

- Woof.

- [Teacher] Aww, Petey, you're just not getting

animal noises, huh?

(crying) - [Petey Voiceover] What?

Are you kidding me?

I nailed that.

- [Teacher] Okay, maybe somebody didn't get enough sleep

in at naptime?

(cage closing)

(lullaby music)

(oriental music)

- You!

Why'd you play me like that?

I said what you said and got it wrong.

(smooth jazz)

- I said, "Woof," because the What Noise game

is a real zonk to the head.

- Huh?

- They're not teaching you to speak.

They're teaching you to categorize.

Not all bugs make the same noise, ya dig?

Maybe this little buggie just wants to woof.

- I think it's fun to go "woof."

- See, that's thinking for yourself.

And teachers should be teaching you how to think.

Not how to recite back the answers they wanna hear,

Patty Cakes.

- I like to play Patty Cakes.

Wait.

Am I a conformist because I like to play Patty Cakes?

- If you like Patty Cakes, play Patty Cakes.

But don't play Patty Cakes because they told you

to play Patty Cakes, you dig?

- Umm... yeah.

I dig.

- Just because someone is in a position

of authority, it doesn't mean they have all the answers.

- Even you?

- Like the Buddhist said,

if you see me on the edge of the windowsill,

squash me.

- Okay.

Squash bugs.

- Metaphorically.

- Right.

Yeah, I knew that.

- And if you wanna say "woof," say "woof."

- Woof.

- Also.

Chemtrails have chemicals that the government

sprays from aircrafts to control the populous.

Good bye!

(mysterious music)

- I learned more in one session with that bug

than I've learned from all of the iPad

object permanence games my parents downloaded from me,

combined.

Not the chemtrail stuff, all the stuff before that.

About not letting school get in the way

of your education and stuff.

- Hey!

Baby.

Before I go, there's one more thing I think you should know.

Always, and I mean always be sure t-

(squish)

(baby crying)

- [Mother] Oh drat.

Where'd it go?

Did I get it?

(baby crying)

(oriental music)

(baby cooing)

- [Mother] I dunno if I got it.

Did I get it?

- She didn't get it.

Some people never do.

(inspirational music)

- Yoo-hoo...

The MATH of time travel REVEALED Scientists says we CAN travel in time - Duration: 7:12.

The MATH of time travel REVEALED Scientists says we CAN travel in time

According to a new study, time travel is�mathematically speaking�possible.

A researcher has concluded that space should NOT be divided into three dimensions�where

time is separated.

Instead, four dimensions need to be imagined simultaneously as a space-time continuum in

which the different directions are connected.

While time travel has only been possible in popular movies and books, a scientist has

found that in reality, there�s more to time travel than what we previously believed.

A researcher has created a new, revolutionary model that reveals�mathematically�time

travel is in fact possible.

While it seems to work mathematically, experts have yet to come up with the �right� materials

to create a working �time machine�.

The study was recently published in the IOPscience Journal Classical and Quantum Gravity and

argues that mathematically speaking we can travel in time:

In this paper we present geometry which has been designed to fit a layperson�s description

of a �time machine�.

It is a box which allows those within it to travel backwards and forwards through time

and space, as interpreted by an external observer.

Timelike observers travel within the interior of a �bubble� of geometry which moves

along a circular, acausal trajectory through spacetime.

If certain timelike observers inside the bubble maintain a persistent acceleration, their

worldlines will close.

Our analysis includes a description of the causal structure of our spacetime, as well

as a discussion of its physicality.

The inclusion of such a bubble in a spacetime will render the background spacetime non-orientable,

generating additional consistency constraints for formulations of the initial value problem.

The spacetime geometry is geodesically incomplete, contains naked singularities, and requires

exotic matter.

Ben Tippett, a mathematics and physics instructor at the University of British Columbia�s

Okanagan campus has revealed that time travel is at least mathematically possible.

�People think of time travel as something of fiction, and we tend to think it�s not

possible because we don�t actually do it.

But mathematically, it is possible,� revealed Tippett,

According to a newly-published study, Tippet concludes that space should NOT be divided

into three dimensions�where time is separated.

Instead, Tippett says four dimensions need to be imagined simultaneously as a space-time

continuum in which the different directions are connected.

Time travel.

Based on Einstein�s theory�the researchers argues that the curvature of space-time is

responsible for the curved orbits of the planets in the universe.

The researcher argues that if space-time was not �curved� planets in the universe would

travel in a straight line.

Imagine yourself standing next to a MASSIVE STAR.

There, space-time geometry becomes curved making all straight trajectories of nearby

cosmic bodies to bend, following a curved path around the star.

�The time direction of the space-time surface also shows curvature.

There is evidence showing the closer to a black hole we get, time moves slower,� says

Tippett.

�My model of a time machine uses the curved space-time � to bend time into a circle

for the passengers, not in a straight line.

That circle takes us back in time.�

For the study, Tippett came up with a mathematical model called Traversable Acausal Retrograde

Domain in Space-time or more charismatically called TARDIS.

Tippett describes it as a bubble of space-time geometry which is able to carry contents back

and forth through space.

This �bubble� moves through space-time at a speed greater than the speed of light

times 8, which consequently allows it to move backwards in time.

�Studying space-time is both fascinating and problematic.

And it�s also a fun way to use math and physics,� says Tippett.

�Experts in my field have been exploring the possibility of mathematical time machines

since 1949.

And my research presents a new method for doing it.�

However, while the researcher says its mathematically possible to travel in time, he doubts that

anyone will ever build a working time machine in the near future.

�HG Wells popularized the term �time machine� and he left people with the thought that an

explorer would need a �machine or special box� to actually accomplish time travel,�

Tippett says.

�While it is mathematically feasible, it is not yet possible to build a space-time

machine because we need materials � which we call exotic matter � to bend space-time

in these impossible ways, but they have yet to be discovered,� concluded Tippett.

How to Sew Art (Part 2 of 2) - SEWING WITH NANCY - Duration: 26:47.

Today on Sewing With Nancy we continue with the mini series

of "How to Sew Art"

starting with a photo, choosing fabric

and then following steps

to turn a common digital image into great wall art.

Welcome back Tammie Bowser

who is really an innovator in this industry.

She'll show us how to transform

basic, ordinary batik fabric into fine art.

Tammie, it's treat to have you here.

Nancy, during the first episode we detailed how to use

a digital image from your camera

to create a pattern.

In this second episode the magic happens

cutting and adding the fabric, plus stitching the design.

"How to Sew Art"

That's what's coming next on Sewing with Nancy.

Sewing with Nancy

TV's longest-airing sewing and quilting program

with Nancy Zieman is made possible by

Baby Lock, a complete line of sewing, quilting

and embroidery machines and sergers.

Baby Lock, for the love of sewing.

Madeira, specializing in embroidery, quilting

and special-effect threads

because creativity is never black and white.

Koala Studios

fine sewing furniture custom-built in America.

Clover, making a difference

in sewing, quilting, crafting, and needle arts

for over 30 years.

Amazing Designs and Klassé needles.

During the first episode of "How to Sew Art"

Tammie and I showed how to create the pattern.

The pattern we created is going to make

the picture of her granddaddy.

Now, we don't expect our viewers to do your granddaddy, right?

Of course not.

We have a free trial for them of my software

they can download and do their own pictures.

So you can put in your own picture.

We're going to give you a review

of how we got to where we are today

but before that let's show you

some others of the great works of art that you've created.

The Trombone is one of my favorites.

It is, it was actually the first one

when I came up with this technique.

That's when I knew I had something magical.

And there are only how many fabrics in that quilt?

It says 12.

12 fabrics, it looks like 90, don't you think?

But it's not.

And then The Trumpet is not a person.

Most of your designs include people.

This is an inanimate object, and it's striking.

Yes, and what I like about this one

is that I had a lot of background space

which I usually don't have

so I start playing around with the stitching and texture.

So that's really awesome.

The bass player, the name of that piece is "Joyful."

Yes, it's "Joyful" because you can see

the joy in his face.

And it's really awesome that you can capture that emotion

in the fabric.

It's amazing.

So to work with any art design with the batik fabrics

you're going to start with an image.

The granddaddy image was one of his press shots

when he was an actor.

Yes.

And what a fun shot.

Let me get the glare off of there.

But it's a big image.

Yes, it is a big image.

We learned how to crop the image

and just take the most important part

which is his face and his shoulders

and make a nice portrait.

Here you can see how it's been cropped.

This is what Tammie was talking about.

At howtosewart.com you can get the software

to play around with

and then you adjust it to make a pattern.

Yes, you adjust it by

first of all you can crop to whatever

portion of the picture you want

and you can decide how many fabrics you want to use.

For this technique we use somewhere between six and 12.

And on the left side of the software

there's a little nob and you can--

There's a little slider that will let you choose.

And then you also smooth those pixels out

with the shape smoothing slider.

That will take away all those little pieces

and merge them into bigger pieces.

It's really fascinating.

And then you hit 'print'.

For this instance there were nine 8-1/2" by 11"

sheets of paper printed out.

I'm just going to show you

where this falls on the picture

it's in the upper left-hand corner.

I think you can kind of see how the hair continues

and the background is there.

And all those little dots are numbers

they're numbers one through six

because you chose to have six fabrics.

You'll see that in a minute.

Then you tile this together.

Yes, and you'll notice it says rows and columns.

It has a little numbers for the rows and columns

right on top.

That's to help you put it in order

tape it back together the right way.

Doesn't it look fun?

Like a cross-stitch

but it's going to be a lot faster.

And then, if you watch the first program

at nancyzieman.com, if you missed it

you'll see how to create a fusible web and parchment paper.

And then, Tammie, you've kind of smoothed--

Excuse me, smoothed out some of the lines.

Yes.

We were able to determine, since we're going to

simplify that background, we found the edge

of his hair and his shoulder

so that we can make this one big piece and simplify

and make it simple.

Then the fabrics, Tammie has a

great way of auditioning fabrics

so that you get six fabrics, light to dark

and they aren't going to be all mediums and all lights.

They're going to be light to dark.

And we auditioned and we used this value isolation tool.

You can see clearly

if the fabrics are lighter or darker

by just comparing them when you--

It's like going to the optometrist and saying

do you like A or B? B or C?

Exactly.

So we're giving you the little condensed version

of how we got to where we are right now

but this is where we ended up

in our first episode.

Now we'll set up the table to start making new magic.

In addition to printing out the tile pattern

the computer program will also print out

this value chart of one through six

light to dark.

You can see that Tammie has attached the six fabrics

that coincide with the numbers.

That's what's going to work with the pattern.

So you're going to work with fabric number five

I'm going to work with fabric number one.

First of all, let Tammie show you how this works.

This is quite phenomenal.

Remember, we found in the first episode

I showed you how to put together

this sandwich of fusible web.

It starts with a layer of parchment paper

and then we have a layer of fusible web

that has been sprayed with basting spray.

So it's sticky.

That's important, because it holds the fabric in place

and we'll never cut this.

Then there's the pattern underneath.

You can see right through the parchment paper

and right through the web

to see the pattern right through it.

So you're going to start from the outer edge

and trace a piece around your--

Yes.

You start from the edge.

I'm using a red pen so that you can see what I'm doing.

You just trace the first piece.

And this is fabric number five.

Then you peel the paper back.

Remember, you never, ever cut this web.

It's what's going to hold all the pieces together.

I'm cutting the--

I'm pulling back the paper.

It'll be easier to do

when you're not doing it upside down, right?

Yeah.

It's easy to do.

I'll move over here a little bit.

And you don't have to be super exact.

I mean, you follow the numbers

but if you go off the line a little bit--

I'll do it up this way so I can see.

Just cut it off and it'll be fine.

What if we tilted it this way?

Yeah, looking at it backwards too works.

Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, perfect.

And since this piece is a little bit big

I put it on, this is fabric number five.

You can see that it's fabric number five there.

I use a couple of straight pins

to pin it right to the paper.

This paper becomes my pattern piece.

I'm just putting in a few pins so it doesn't move.

This becomes really important when you have a piece that's--

This one is a pretty easy shape, kind of a rectangle.

But if it's a really weird shape

you just put more pins to keep it from moving around.

Yeah, so you can get the curves and the contours that are there.

If it's a really strange shape

you want to make sure you maintain that shape.

Then you just cut around the edge

leaving 1/8" or 1/16", just slightly bigger.

Again, you don't have to stress out

or be too worried about getting it wrong.

There's almost no way to get it wrong.

We've done all the prep already

so it's pretty guaranteed to be right.

And you know, Tammie's a really laid back person

and she takes it one step at a time.

I saw this whole thing and I thought

how am I going to get it all done?

Well, you just take it a little bit at a time

and really you can accomplish a lot.

After she gets this cut out then it will stick

to the tacky part of the fusible web.

We're almost there.

It's one big chunk of fabric that's done.

There we go.

That's the piece.

We take the pins out.

You have right sides up.

Yup, right-side up.

You don't have to remember to do some turning

of something upside down.

And then the paper becomes trash.

Then you put the fabric right in that spot.

You know exactly where it goes because--

And it sticks.

It sticks.

Now in this opposite corner

I've traced out one section.

They were almost all number ones.

This is of his collar.

Then I can place that right here.

And you're not having it exact.

An 1/8", 1/16" of an inch or whatever

we can lift this up a little bit

so we get it on the webbing.

But you can see how that positions into place.

Then you could do a big section

of his shirt collar over here

and just keep cutting and marking.

Let's go to the other one

and show them how to cut a small piece.

Because, you know, you might guess, we have a sample.

Of course.

We kept going, didn't want to make you wait.

So you can see how the magic is happening

piece by piece by piece.

But when you get into the face

you keep a lot of the detail.

You don't make big collars or whatever.

Yeah, you keep all the detail

and another thing, if there's

a bunch of little pieces that are the same number

and they're lined up next to each other

you can group them together, make it one bigger piece.

Let me see if I can show you.

See, right here it might look like

there's a bunch of little pieces

but really it's one big piece.

So you just make that one piece

cut it out.

Here's a number five that's been cut out.

You'd stick it on the fabric as Tammie's going to do.

There you really don't even have to--

It's small, so you can just hold it with your finger.

With the big one I wanted to show you

how to do a big one and use the pins.

Or if it's small, like this one

you could just hold it with your fingers.

Okay.

And I'm just cutting it slightly bigger.

And work on it a little bit at a time.

You don't have to do it all in one sitting.

Nope.

This is something that you do while you're relaxing.

If you're normally a little high-strung

and stress yourself out

this is a time when you learn to take it easy and relax

and follow the plan.

Just add piece by piece.

I hope you can see how the process is done on this quilt.

The next thing we do

after filling in all the images

is to do the stitching.

After all the pieces

have been positioned on the fusible web

it's time to separate the fusible web

from the paper backing.

Now, I know, we didn't get this all completed.

But I know Tammie

will finish that after the taping of the program.

Here you can see that we can just

peel away the paper backing.

Or excuse me, the web from the pattern.

Then, Tammie, on the design that

you're going to do the stitching

you've already backed it with batting and backing fabric.

Yes.

After peeling off that pattern off the back

I just put the whole webbing

and the fabric that's attached

right on top of the batting and iron it down.

You fuse it in place so it doesn't move.

Now the stitching is going to be free-motion stitching

so you're going to lower the feed dogs

drop them or cover them depending upon your machine.

Place a quilting, a free motion foot

on you machine, and then choose threads.

These are variegated threads

much like the batik fabrics we worked with.

Choose variegated threads in light, medium and dark

and do a little auditioning before you do the stitching.

Let me peel this back to show you.

In this corner we have a medium color.

Just unwind some of the threads

lay it on the fabric to see if it blends.

You don't want to change the value of the fabric

you just want to enhance it.

So use the variegated thread.

Cotton works really well for this instance.

Then you're going to let some of the magic happen

to liven up the fabric that hasn't been stitched.

Okay.

When you start stitching

I have a medium here so I'm going to stitch

on this medium fabric.

I'll pick an area and just surround it.

That's how, in the quilt of the granddaughters

you see the girl's face in the back

because I followed the shapes.

That made the picture show up in the thread too.

I'll start off by encircling the outside

and then I kind of scribble or do some sort of

repeating shape on the inside

of that outlined area.

I also like doing little circles too.

I'll show you that in just a second.

After you keep each section you might even do

a different design.

At the end it looks like you did a whole lot of fancy things

but really it feels like you're doodling.

There's nothing wrong with doodling.

No, I like doodling, myself.

So I did that whole little section

just that quick.

My suggestion, if you're nervous about free motion

just practice for a little while

and get comfortable with your machine.

Make yourself comfortable

and whatever you do just do a lot of it.

If you have a little crooked line

and you just have one crooked line

it's just going to look like a crooked line

but if you have 100 of them

it's going to look like you're a genius.

[laughter]

And that you are.

Now Tammie mentioned the granddaughters art quilt.

Here you can see it again.

The image of Avery and Luella

cute little girls, of course.

Then I'd like to show you

how she followed

when doing the stitching

the image itself.

Now here's a close-up.

You get the whole image further away

but as you get closer up you can see the detail

of how she stippled around the edges

and then used different colors of thread.

And as we turn to the wrong side

you can see the face come alive again.

So not only do you have

an image on the right side

but you have an image on the wrong side.

So you can see, you just follow the fabric

that has been cut out.

Now if we look

at the image of Duke Ellington

this is really a pretty amazing scene.

There it is on the right side

and then, Tammie

you did some changes with the bobbin thread.

Yes, I changed the bobbin thread

with the top thread

and I was surprised to turn it over

and figure out that the picture

showed up in the thread on the back.

Not that you're going to see this

but this is just kind of a surprise image.

It's sort of a little special surprise.

But there's more than just stippling

that you have embellished with your quilts.

Yes.

Sometimes I like to add a little bit of sparkle.

Here's some--

Metallic fibers.

Yeah, metallic fibers are really beautiful

and they come in lots of colors.

I picked this nice dark one

to go with the flower.

The way I use it is

just break off a little bit

and just sprinkle it

wherever I want the sparkle.

I'll do that.

And then I'll just do the free motion

right on top

and let the stitching catch it.

I'm going to do some little spirals.

The stitching just holds it down.

Here's a finished image of B.B. King.

You're uncle was a professional photographer

and did this image.

Here I have the image, or the actual quilt

and you can see

that the metallic fibers

have been added in this area

just a little glitz, a touch of sparkle.

It adds such interest to this area.

But you have to have a little concern

about that when pressing, correct?

Yes.

It kind of melts, so you don't iron on it.

That's the very, very last step

before you do the binding.

It adds a lot of interest and brings focus

if you want something to be the center of attention.

Sure, of course.

Now speaking of binding, you have about the simplest

binding technique I have ever seen.

Yes.

It's okay not to bind.

To bind or not to bind.

Who needs all those rules?

You could just not bind it.

So on the granddaughters quilt

the edges have just been cut and stitched.

You could secure stitch around the edge

but that's it.

Then you could add a sleeve to the back

so it could be hung in a very traditional way.

So that's one way

of really not finishing it.

This is a raw edge appliqué.

It's okay to do this very untraditionally.

Then on the Duke Ellington quilt

you just stitched a binding to the fabric

and brought it to the wrong side

and hand stitched it into place.

So that you do not have a traditional binding

like we put on, cut a strip 2-1/2"

and do all fancy stitching.

This just brings it to the back

stitch it, and Wow.

That's it.

It makes it clean--

like a painting with no edge at all.

Tammie, I want to thank you for your inspiration.

I am going to create one of these.

You gave me the ways of doing it.

I know our audience will be encouraged to do it too.

Thanks for being with us.

Thank you.

I'm pleased to have been able to teach you today.

And you too can make art

with all these step by steps

and enjoy the process.

When you think of sewing or quilting

I'm sure some of the first thoughts, of course

are fabric, needle and thread that come to mind.

Well, how about adding the noun 'song.'

With me today is

folk artist, performer, songwriter, Lil' Rev

who has a special song in his heart

for those of us who sew and quilt.

Welcome back to Sewing With Nancy, Rev.

Yeah, it's good to be back.

You know, we had great comments

the last time you were on.

It was fun being serenaded.

So here you are, back again to sing some more

of your historical songs that include quilting.

I'm going to start out with one called

"The Quilter's Shanty."

If you can image, oh, about 100 ladies

at a quilting guild singing along

your viewers can join us.

Their part will be to say

"these hand are made for quilting."

Okay, sing with me so I'm not the only one.

Okay, here we go.

Here we go.
