Episode 075: A Falling Dragon, A Shooting Star

In Episode 75, Matt and Scad embark on a journey through A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a series of novelletes surrounding the wanderings and adventures of Ser Duncan the Tall and his bald squire known simply as “Egg”.  In this first episode, Dunk buries his only friend, and the knight he squired for, and begins his own journey of knighthood.  He makes his way to a tourney at Ashford Meadow, and is joined by Egg whom he takes as his new squire.  From there it’s all about getting in the jousting lists, buying armor that will fit him as he is a beast of a man, flirting with a puppeteer, learning about his potential jousting foes, and trying to stay out of way of nobles and princes. Davos After Dark is still a thing, though you will hear us prattle on and on about what actually is a spoiler in this context.  In any event, we have done our best to avoid giving away any in-story spoilers in the main section of the cast, saving those for this special section at the end.  Also, pay attention for “Who’s That Dragon?”, a new little feature that lets us dive into a single Targaryen per episode. Nothing has changed on at least one front:  we love hearing form the khalasar!  So shoot us an email at [email protected], find us on twitter @davosfingers, join us on facebook, or find our tumblr at davosfingers.com.  Last but not least, if you want to throw a couple bones our way, join us on Patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers.   Selection Covered:  Our reading selection this episode covers roughly the first half of The Hedge Knight.  That is pages 5 through 67 in the paperback, culminating in the end of the first day of jousting.
