      It’s based on Game of Thrones, The Wall is 700 feet high and protects the Seven Kingdoms from the Others. Castle Black is the headquarters of the The Night’s Watch, the group charged with patrolling the wall.

      I’ve never watched the show, but the books are great and I’ve been reading through them for the first time recently. Just know before you get into it that the author very notoriously hasn’t finished the series in like… 20 years, haha. There are 2 more planned books but the last came out in 2011.

        20 years?! We’re closing on 30!

        GRRM started writing aGoT in 1991, and published in 1996!

          I’d love to be wrong here but I’m convinced that man is going to his grave without writing another word for it. Which is fair, he’s written over 1.7 million words in ASOIAF according to Wikipedia.

            It seems likely, but he at least has chosen two people that get to take it over in that case who both know what he has planned.

              Are those two people called “ChatGPT” and “BingGPT” by any chance?

            He seems to start over all the time when writing. So maybe he is writing everyday but never to completion.

              Good point, I suppose more accurately I am convinced he won’t publish any more in the main ASOIAF storyline. If I’m wrong I get to be pleasantly surprised.

      It’s depicting a very prominent location from Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire.
