Faceless Men & The Iron Bank (2019)

History Of Westeros
About this episode

From the livestream on Tues July 2nd. Since it's been fairly well established that GRRM is, in part, using F&B to set the table for future ASOIAF events, and given that the Faceless Man and Iron Bank are mentioned quite a bit in the book... then we should pay attention! Published July 14, 2019.
