Many of us are aware that with the Andal invasion along came the new faith, the Faith of the Seven. Did they maintain this faith throughout and in every region ? If not, why ?
Who is the Hollywood star that starred in a production with Iain Glen that his wife left him over?

As you know, I had a bit of trouble finding it *hides in shame* and now I don't remember where the poster is.! Arrrg.

I'm not counting answer ten because you did not give the words nor the region they came from. Man there are some really easy ones in there.
Lets see: Arryn-The Vale (The Eyre)
Martell- Dorne-Sunspear-Unbowed, unbent unbroken (I like those words)
Lannister-Casterly Rock?- Hear me roar
Baratheon-Storm Ends-ours is the fury
Stark-Winterfell-Winter is coming
Targaryen-King´s Landing-Dragonstone?-Fire and Blood
Tully-Riverrun.
oh, I forgot the Greyjoys- Iron Islands (Pyke)-We do not sow
That´s it. Give me another trophy.

Region, not capital, perhaps I was not specific enough. House Targeryen is not one of the 8 principal houses. But you are getting there. I'll fill in the blanks, starting from the North. House Stark, The North, Winter is Coming House Greyjoy, Iron Islands, We do no Sow House Tully, Riverlands, Family, Duty, Honour House Lannister, Westerlands, Hear me Roar House Arryn, The Vale, As High as Honour House Baratheon, the Stormlands, Ours is the Fury House Tyrrel, the Reach, Growing Strong House Martell, Dorne, Unbent Unbowed, Unbroken
I did this from memory lol, obsessed much!

Congrats Mr's H'ghar, you got 3 and 2 thirds correct.
Unless all of question 10 is correct I don't make it count.
you got 2,3,5 correct with 2 out of 3 on question six.
It's funny how everyone thinks 1) is Sansa.

Wow Macha very well done! You are the new champion, just edging Andrew out with 5 and 1 third
you got 2,5,8,9 and 10. Question 6 you got 1/3
While showing more insight than other ons question 7 you are still far from being correct. Crownlands fell within the Baratheon lands at the start of AGOT. There's a very specific reason why the 7 became 8 or 9 as you put it.
__________________
AS private parts we are to the gods, they play with us for their sport.
The answer to question 7 why are there only Seven Kingdoms when there are 8 regions ruled by 8 Principal Houses, 9 if you count the Crownlands? The answer is, when Aegon invaded, the Iron Islanders were kings of the Riverlands as well. The Tully's rose in rebellion to join Aegon. As a reward, Aegon made House Tully the principal River Lords and gave them the fertile Riverlands as a reward. Thereby splitting one of the kingdoms and making 8 regions. This is the reason why the Greyjoys and Iron Islanders lost so much wealth and power.

You just made the point that there are 9, which I conceded. But on the subject of the question you just said there was war in the Riverlands. It was during Aegon's invasion, there was war everywhere.
