Lomas Longstrider & the Wonders Made by Gods
Long before humankind existed, let alone raised structures of note, the gods shaped the planet’s natural wonders via their whims and wars for people like Lomas Longstrider to discover and catalogue for others. In this companion episode to Lomas Longstrider and the Wonders Made By Man, we explore the natural wonders of the world according to his book “Wonders”. He named 7, but we only know 1, so we’ll be going through the best candidates from all over the world to make our guesses!

Lomas Longstrider & the Wonders Made by Man
When we think of explorers we think of the Sea Snake and Elissa Farman, who had an urge to discover. Or Nymeria and the Rhoynish refugees, who were forced into seeking new lands. Notably these names are all nobles. They had their own ships, their own crews, their own funding, and all the security and safety that brought with it. Our subject today is Lomas Longstrider, who explored farther and wider than any of the above individuals, without any of their advantages. But even more interesting than the character of Lomas are the locations he visited… or may have visited. In this episode we’ll discuss what he dubbed “Wonders Made by Man”.

The Missing
Throughout the series, a large number of characters have gone missing. Some have run off of their own accord, others perhaps seized against their will. Some we last saw in great danger while others, well, they’re not so easy to categorize. This episode is dedicated to those characters who have been on the pages but don’t have known locations, let alone fates. This includes a very wide variety of individuals large and small like Tyrek Lannister, Stonesnake, Tysha, Tanselle, and Benjen Stark.

House Karstark: The Sun of Winter
A thousand years ago, Karlon Stark put down a rebel lord and was rewarded with lands and a castle he named Karhold. The Karhold Starks became House Karstark, greatly benefiting Winterfell and the reverse to the Dreadfort. Over the centuries, the Starks and Karstarks would intermarry several times, renewing their ancient ties through marriage alliance. But the events of ASOIAF have seen great change, as Rickard Karstark went from staunch ally of King Robb Stark to the execution block. There’s now a rush to claim Karhold - his daughter Alys married Sigorn, son of the man who led the attack on Castle Black and they’ve got 200 Thenns backing them, but the lawful heir Harrion Karstark is still alive in the south and Arnolf Karstark has conspired with the Boltons to betray Stannis to claim the castle for his son Cregan.

Customer Reviews
The Standard
This is the show that sets the standard for all ASOIAF content. I’ve been listening loyally since 2016 and will continue to do so.
Flaws Keep Podcast From A 5
Overall great content and Aziz is great host. Some agenda topics of Ashaya and guest keep total rating down. Would be nice to just enjoy commentary of the content without trying to inject social issues/politics. Asha’s stoner/valley girl voice is super annoying and it is tiring listening to her trying to spin every topic into a pro-female character dialogue. According to Ashaya, only the female characters are worth discussing. Push your agenda on others and allow us to enjoy the show.
Yikes
Here’s the thing…..These guys know an INSANE amount of GOT-related history, but when attempting to make the story analogous to actual history, etc., they are almost always laughably inaccurate. Maybe more personal time dedicated to learning about real history and less dragons and magic, but I digress. It’s a show for GOT nerds, so it stands to reason it would lend itself to absurdity. The biggest problem (and why I had to stop following) is the frequency with which Aziz laughs at his own jokes. It’s insufferable. It comes off more as a nervous tick than a sincere appreciation of his own dopey musings, but it’s really uncomfortable to listen to.
