Episode 172: A STORM OF SWORDS, DAENERYS II: ”Legion (Part 1)”

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

 

In this episode, Dany descends into hell, aka Astapor, our first city in Slaver's Bay.

 

This week, we: 

 

- Introduce Slaver's Bay as the major new setting in ASOS

- Dig into the hellish imagery of Astapor specifically

- Explore the cultural context of the history and language used here

- Take stock of the horrors involved in the training of the Unsullied

- Analyze Barristan's role in Dany's decision-making process

 

Next week: we finish up Dany's introduction to Astapor in ASOS, Daenerys II!
