Game Of Thrones Prequel Series: 10 Things It Must Include

5. Legendary Figures

As the name tells us, the Age of Heroes is littered with legendary figures who may or may not have ever actually existed, some of whom need to show up one way or another in the prequel series.

The likes of Bran the Builder and Lann the Clever are musts, and it'd be great to see warriors such as Symeon Star-Eyes and Serwyn of the Mirror Shield, and other notable figures such as Durran Godsgrief.

There's the potential to introduce these characters but also play around with the legends and show us the truths of them, like explaining how Bran supposedly built the Wall, founded House Stark, helped build Storm's End, built Winterfell, gave the Gift to the Night's Watch and so many other deeds despite apparently being just one man. Is he truly the greatest person to have ever lived, or a bunch of different Stark kings rolled into one over time? How did Lann really win Casterly Rock? These are the myths and legends that the show can revel in.
