Enjoying GoT so far. So much gratuitous nudity sprinkled with bloody ultravi.
Some sword points: Needle is a single-ring courtsword which didn’t exist contiguously to the arming swords everyone else is carrying. If they had the metallurgy to produce fine epee blades, everyone would be wielding them because it’s a far more efficient weapon (Needle is my fav sword so far). The Dothraki curved swords are basically haladie which are not - as described - good for horseback combat. Haladie were African swords were they didn’t use much cavalry. They are better at reaching around shields. — Sword-nerd drops the mic.
