Update: Summerhall and Asshai (Patreon)

I thought this Summerhall video would be short and simple, because there’s so little information about Summerhall available. But the video’s going to be a ~24-minute monster, because there are so many fascinating possibilities of what might have happened at Summerhall. It covers King Egg’s reign, wildfire, magic sacrifice, dragon dreams, conspiracies, thematic meanings, and helpful advice on how to avoid explosions at your next baby shower. The video’s almost done, and will be out for Patrons this week.

Also, we’re working on a really cool collaboration to make a video about Asshai. Asshai has been a popular topic in Patron votes for years, and now’s the perfect time to finally make the video – because the artists behind Unseen Westeros are creating an exhibition of artwork all about Asshai. They’re working with Elio Garcia, co-author of The World of Ice and Fire. To promote the project, we’ll make a video about Asshai showcasing the artwork – just like our old “East” video showcased the original Unseen Westeros art. The project isn’t done yet, so I don’t know all the details or timeframe yet. But there'll be an extremely cool Asshai video in the near future. A sample of the artwork is included above – and there’s much more to come.

So yeah, Summerhall will be done soon, Asshai is in the works. We'll hold that Jon/Daenerys/Tyrion vote soon. Dune is on the radar. A special Expanse thing may be happening. And there are a couple of more experimental videos in the works, including a sci fi story called All Tomorrows, and a possible video about the video game The Binding of Isaac. So as ever, I'm not sure exactly which videos will happen when, but I am sure they'll be really awesome videos.

Also, my arch-nemesis Alt Schwift X has made some videos lately that may be of interest – an exploration of ASOIAF theories, and an appearance in a Glidus video ranking every Game of Thrones episode. He has also, inexplicably, started a gaming channel. I've heard rumours he's planning a charity livestream soon, which will undoubtedly be a shambles. Personally, I don't see the appeal of Alt Schwift X, but YMMV.

Thanks for your support!
