Jaime has sinse been risen to the left hand of Robert, finding himself a royal guard (sort of like a praetorian guard to the Roman emperors), making him, along with Cersei, more difficult to approach with a retaliatory dagger. Bran, the second to youngest of the Stark boys, is directly affected, and Jon Snow, making a name for himself with the Night's Watch, feels an overwhelming sense of familial loyalty to return to his father's side. We see one tit for tat move after another in the daylight, and one assassination attempt after another after night has fallen. Problems emerge when Robert's wife, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey, 300, The Brothers Grimm), diverts herself from her loveless marriage to fornicate with her twin brother, Jaime - a move which ultimately places Houses Lannister and House Stark at each other's throats.

Ned is soon called to the side of Robert, as the king wants his old friend to serve as the King's Hand - his right hand man, the chosen one in charge when Robert is gone or too drunk to wield his royal scepter. An outcast in his own castle, Ned's bastard son, Jon Snow, quickly says his goodbyes to the siblings who count him blood before departing for the ominous Wall and its Night's Watch, where black clothing and animal fur cloaks and the occasional coal-burning fire rule the mountainous, dismal landscape. Ned is a man of principle, integrity, highly likeable to the viewer along with his sons and their pet direwolves, willing to protect them at every dark turn. The man of the House, Eddard "Ned" Stark (Sean Bean, Troy, Silent Hill), has been appointed Lord of Winterfell by his old war buddy Robert Baratheon (Mark Addy, Robin Hood, A Knight's Tale), royal crownholder of the seven kingdoms. The one of House Stark is probably the most noteworthy, every bit as dismal and fierce as the landscape they call home, featuring a large grey direwolf with fangs poised for the mauling. The book as well as the show features several families battling it out to preserve their legacies and dynasties, all flying high their own personalized banners and coat of arms. Game of Thrones follows the book that inspired it, written by George R.R.
