Lady Gryphon's Mythical Realm Presents

I am so excited for this new HBO series to come out! George R. R. Martin's best-selling 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series of novels is one of my all time favorites. Seeing this preview it looks like HBO did an amazing job. The dipiction of the Others had me jumping out of my skin. Definitly a must see!

"In the Game of Thrones Television show, the term 'White Walkers' is used as an alternate name for a species normally called the Others. They are held to be myths only. According to legend, the Others were creatures of ice and cold who, more then eight thousand years ago, came from the uttermost north during a winter that lasted a generation and a night that covered the world, the Long Night. The Others were defeated in the War for the Dawn by a great hero wielding a sword of flame. After the Others' defeat, Bran the Builder constructed the Wall with magic and artifice to ensure they could never return to threaten the people of Westeros and the world beyond. The War for the Dawn apparently unified the peoples of the North under the rule of the Starks and saw Winterfell built shortly thereafter.

The Night's Watch was founded to guard against the return of the Others, but this task is generally forgotten today. The Watch is instead believed to be guarding against the human wildlings who hold the lands beyond and occasionally try to raid across the Wall into the richer lands to the south."
