In the continent of Westeros, Warden of the North Eddard "Ned" Stark becomes "Hand of the King"
(chief adviser) to King Robert Baratheon. When Ned's son Bran stumbles upon Queen Cersei having
sex with her twin brother Jaime Lannister, Jaime cripples Bran. After moving to King's Landing, the
capital of the Seven Kingdoms, Ned discovers that Prince Joffrey and his siblings were incestuously
fathered by Jaime. When King Robert dies, Ned does not recognize Joffrey as the rightful heir and is
executed. Ned's bastard son Jon Snow joins the Night's Watch, an ancient brotherhood sworn to
watch over the massive Wall in the North, which separates the Seven Kingdoms from hostile tribes
known as "Wildlings" and mythological humanoid creatures known as "White Walkers". In the
continent of Essos, the exiled Viserys Targaryen, son of King Aerys who was deposed by King
Robert, marries off his sister Daenerys to the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo, in exchange for an army
