They are not the same age in the TV show. Virtually everyone except Sansa has been aged up. Dany, Robb, Jon etc are all 18. Boys rarely got married at puberty and back then puberty would often... |

I agree lets agree to disagree on ASOIAF Turin is one of my favourite characters as well. We see him striving to do the right thing. Yes he does some very bad things, but he usually repents and... |

Yes it's a generalisation, but it would be accurate to say that the majority of citizens have been loyal to the Federal government. No you brought in words like patriotism, which I actually said... |
