[quote=Silver Carrot]But I bet you've watched the series. I haven't, and I'm not going to until I've read the books first.[/quote]

That's awfully poo-pooy of you (family saying, I know it's weird.) I hadn't heard of A Song of Ice and Fire until Season 1 had come out and I pretty much devoured the books after the first few episodes. 

[quote=Silver Carrot]And I know who the Greyjoys are but not the Martells.[/quote]

I doubt you know the Greyjoys outside of Theon's inner monologues about them in Clash, unless of course you're at Feast, in which case excuse my ignorance.

But good sir, I'm sad to hear you haven't yet met the awesomeness personified that is House Martell/Dorne in general. I at least hope you've seen Oberyn in the books, since he's the one House Martell will be focused around in this seeing as Doran's busy having gout. Which I hope isn't too big a spoiler but y'know.
