In this video I want to discuss the legends around Bran the Builder as well as take a look at what George RR Martin has told us about the age of heroes.

Specifically drilling in on the questions of was Brandon the builder even real? If he was then what was he like?

The ancient history of A song of Ice and Fire is messy but I do think there is enough information to put the puzzle together on a basic level.

This discussion comes up a lot in regards to weirwoods and the old ways and greenseers in my theories but I figured at some point it was probably worth its own video getting to the bottom of the Bran The Builder legends.
