Game of Thrones is a fascinating narrative with a long and engaging tradition of in-universe fiction. Folk tales, old superstitions, and questionable historical accounts inform the actions and beliefs of central characters. Every major family ties their legend back to one or two heroes from the distant past. Some icons in the series have personal mythology, which can provide a powerful reputation. Dagmer Cleftjaw, for example, has a few good stories, but his actions are slightly less impressive.
