Race for the Iron Throne is a blog by Steven Attewell, a policy historian who also writes heavily on political websites like "Lawyers, Guns and Money" and "Graphic Policy". He is also a trained historian who really does know medieval history and has a background in which to decipher the series's many Allohistorical Allusion.The blog does Chapter-by-Chapter analysis of the world of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire while also hosting reviews of Game of Thrones, some of the expanded universe of the series such as Archmaester Gyldayn's Histories and The World of Ice & Fire. As of August 2017, he has completed A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings and commenced A Storm of Swords.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Most of the essays are analysis of chapters found in the main series, but he also does essays as a guest writer for other blogs (which the blog provides links to). Most of his essays are in the popular fansite "Tower of the Hand" where he has done extended series on the "Hands of the King" we see in the books and cited historically, the Blackfyre Rebellion, and an analysis of the Politics of Essos (Free Cities, Slaver's Bay) and the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.He also did a "headcanon", "A Commentary on “The True Life of the High Spider”, detailing the life of Westeros' most corrupt and depraved High Septon Lewys Flowers, set two thousand years before Aegon's Conquest. | |

Culture Justifies Anything | |
| Race for the Iron Throne (Blog) / int_70447aa7 | comment |
Culture Justifies Anything: He's skeptical of any defenses of evil practices on the idea of culture or geography. He's especially critical of the idea that the Ironborn are doomed to remain stuck in Rape, Pillage, and Burn and wasting it on unprofitable wars that makes them despised across Westeros, citing how "the Old Way" has actually adapted and the attempts by some rulers of the Iron Islands to establish ties to the mainland. He also defends Daenerys' campaign in Slaver's Bay by noting that she is popular among the enslaved and the only way her campaign can be seen as imperialist is if you agree that the only culture that matters is that of the masters and not of the slaves. | |

Alternate Universe | |

| Race for the Iron Throne (Blog) / int_c67af1b0 | comment |
Big Bad Wannabe: How he sees Littlefinger, noting that he often pretends to be smarter and more knowing then he is, tends to be on the nose in his resentment and takes every slight, especially from Tyrion, personally. | |
