Whoa, HBO has already publicly announced the Histories & Lore featurettes which will appear in the Season 6 Blu-ray set.

http://watchersonthewall.com/game-thrones-complete-sixth-season-coming-dvdblu-ray-fall/ I love these things: they're written by Dave Hill and are a lot more info from the books that didn't make it into the live episodes (and give us an excuse to make articles on these things! :)


 * The Old Way - Euron Greyjoy
 * The Kingsmoot - Euron Greyjoy
 * Between the two of them I hope these two videos serve as an "Iron Islands regional video" like Dorne got last year and the others got before that. Just naming all seven islands.  "Old Way" will probably be the "Driftwood Crowns" early section of the ironborn chapter in Worlds of Ice and Fire.
 * The Sunset Sea - Euron Greyjoy
 * Summer Islands, Naath, Basilisk Isles, Sothoryos? Euron makes sense, more than Missandei:  he's actually sailed to all of these himself.
 * War of the Ninepenny Kings - Brother Ray
 * Yay! They have mentioned the war by name in two prior videos, in passing, but this should actually give focus on it.  Might we see young Tywin?
 * The Great Tourney at Harrenhal - Meera Reed
 * Makes sense, her father Howland Reed was a major figure there.
 * Robert's Rebellion - Jaime Lannister
 * We've had ones about him and the Kingsguard before but not his specific thoughts on Robert's Rebellion - plus his opinion of Rhaegar. Showing that Rhaegar was actually an honorable great guy; flashback scene from books in which Jaime begged Rhaegar to let him go to the Trident?
 * Northern Allegiances to House Stark - Sansa Stark
 * We've never had a video narrated by Sansa before! I was hoping for a House Mormont video, but maybe this is a very long video serving as a catch-all to talk about all of them (even though Jon already did a "North" regional video earlier?)
 * Children of the Forest vs the First Men - the Three-eyed Raven! Wow, Max von Sydow narrating, epic. This was expected:  should focus on creation of the White Walkers and everything.
 * Oldtown - Pycelle and Qyburn.
 * Expected and great; maybe Pycelle will mention that plague that hit in his youth?
 * House Tarly - Randyll Tarly
 * Expected and great. I hope they explain how the Reach used to be four petty kingdoms and Tarly was one of them.
 * Little Birds - Varys (expected this)
 * House Dayne - Young Ned Stark (Robert Aramayo). This should be the anticipated video focusing on "The Showdown at the Tower of Joy".  I'm surprised it's based on "House Dayne" - but hey, that lets them explain the history of Dawn and the Sword of the Morning, and the title is probably just an excuse to focus on the Tower of Joy in the second half.  I mean, it's narrated by Young Ned! - amazing.
 * Great Sept of Baelor - High Sparrow.
 * I anticipate that this video will explain how Maegor the Cruel burned down the Sept of Remembrance during the Faith Militant uprising and later the headquarters of the Faith moved from Oldtown to King's Landing under Baelor Targaryen.

Lastly, there are 3 videos which don't seem very necessary:


 * Brotherhood Without Banners - Thoros
 * Knights of the Vale - Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish
 * Riverrun - Brynden "The Blackfish" Tully

Well we actually never had a full video on the history of the Brotherhood before, Mummer's Ford and all that, so I guess this makes sense given their return now.

The Knights of the Vale and Riverrun do appear in this season but....how does that need further explanation?

Riverrun maybe talking about the castle layout and history, I guess, albeit a tad redundant with Brynden's earlier videos.

But "Knights of the Vale"? What could that be about?

'''What do you think of this list of videos? What are other videos you wish were on it or that you hope get made in the future?'''
