Calexico found this from the DVDs explaining the basis for religions in Westeros at the start of the series.
Not to spoil stuff, but...it gets company later...
Now you know what I've been working on for months.

Here's further proof that A Game of Thrones is indeed a big deal in fantasy: it has its own video games. How many games did those crappy Shannara books get? How about Terry Goodkind's laughable, sociopathic Sword for Truth series? How about Robert Jordan's....well, there actually was a decent game based on The Wheel of Time back in 1999. But A Game of Thrones is standing proud right now. So Atlus, HBO, and developer Cyanide Studios are assembling an action-RPG based on the TV series and, by extension, George R.R. Martin's original A Song of Ice and Fire novels. What can we expect when the game arrives early next year? Judging by the newest trailer, we can expect a wall. OK, so it's not a wall, it's THE Wall, a massive fortification that separates the semi-civilized realm of the Seven Kingdoms from a lawless northern waste. It's only part of the sprawling medieval-fantasy world that Martin crafted for his novels, but it's the focus of this trailer, which plays like a standard-issue Dragon Age cutscene despite the voice of James Cosmo. There's more to the game, however: it follows Night's Watch guardsman (and animal-controlling warg) Mors Westfold and Red Priest (and magic user) Alester Sarwyck, neither of whom are seen in the novels (yet). The two of them follow different paths across the Seven Kingdoms, encountering several established series characters along the way--and Jeor Mormonth's just one of them. There's another trailer for the game, and in between the generic milling around, you can catch sight of Varys the Enuch and possibly even Martin himself.
That said, Cyanide Studios also made A Game of Thrones: Genesis, a strategy game that pleased very few fans earlier this year. And the early footage of their new A Game of Thrones title for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3 looks no different than every other Western-themed RPG out there. Perhaps that's because Martin's setting is fairly mundane at a glance. It's set apart not by improbable world-building, but by realistic power struggles and drastic plot twists (and some downright creepy stuff, but that'll likely get toned down for the game). In RPG terminology, it's more like a dirty version of Tactics Ogre than a Final Fantasy or World of Warcraft.

Really?!?!? I tried reading the first one and it was so badly written. I knew lots of people like the books so I kept thinking maybe the plot would draw me in. But no, I quit about half way through. Tolkien this guy is not.Fuck yeah...I am going to re read all the books.
