he Citadel, the archive of A Song of Ice and Fire lore, aims at being primarily an informational resource for George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire. From a collection of house heraldry to an exhaustive compilation of thematic details in the Concordance, the main goal is to provide factual information.
However, not all sections of the site have this aim, such as the sections devoted to reviews of books (both ASoIaF -- and the spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones provides a great introduction to the series -- and non-ASoIaF) and the prophecies encountered in the books.
We hope to gradually expand and improve on our existing resources, and to complete some planned ones, over time. For now, feel free to explore what we have available.
As we add content to the various sections on a gradual basis, spoilers for any of the books or stories may appear within any of these sections. See the note for each section for more information.
If you have any questions and/or comments about this site, please don't hesitate to contact us at webmaster@westeros.org.

So Spake Martin

Concordance
An exhaustive compilation of thematic notes. It contains direct spoilers for pre-book history and indirect spoilers through the facts noted down for events in the books.

Heraldry
Graphical representations of almost all known banners as well as info files for houses and individuals. Minor spoilers in the actual listings of Houses, while major spoilers are placed in specially marked files except when it concerns banners belonging to individuals: these files may contain major spoilers right off.
Characters
This section is under construction.
Prophecies
A compilation of prophecies, visions and dreams which appear to reveal something about the future. As we note when we believe a prophecy has been fullfilled, spoilers for the various books and stories are mixed in throughout this section.
Books
ASoIaF reviews as well as a growing collection of both reviews of and recommendations for both fiction and non-fiction we feel ASoIaF fans might like to try. The reviews are relatively spoiler free.
Gallery
A small (so far) collection of ASoIaF fan art. Some of the art reveal spoilers as they depict specific scenes. Also scans of the various maps that have appeared in the books and scans (coloured and ready-to-use) of the heraldic images from the appendices.
Please note that both this search will search all of Westeros and a query might very well come up with a result that contains spoilers. So if you're concerned about being spoiled it probably isn't a good idea for you to use it.
Important to remember is also that much of what you might find on the Blood of Dragons pages is non-canon information produced by us for use on the MUSH.
