Briefing on Game Of Thrones
Most of the action takes place on the continent called Westeros which is roughly similar to medieval Europe in terms of technology, culture, and Society. The continent over a long time was divided into kingdoms each ruled by a family of nobles. 300 years before the events of the novel, The Targaryens who were a noble family from a neighboring continent and apparently who were the last people of the earth who could hatch, raise and tame dragons invaded the continent of Westeros. With their power of controlling the dragons and their skill at forming alliances and exploiting the divisions in Westeros, the Targaryens easily and quickly conquered most of the continent.

Now there is a critical backdrop to all of this. The northernmost kingdom which is often referred to as the North terminated in a massive 700-foot high wall that stretches from one coast to another. Behind the wall is a rough and cold land which is not subjected to any laws or any government. Ancient legends say that thousand of years ago, the white walkers used to stay in the northern Land bringing winter, cold and death with them and had nearly wiped out the human race until they were driven back to that place by the word heroes who then erected a wall to keep them from coming back.

The Watch was considered to be one of the noblest and honorable callings, but with time lesser and lesser people believed in the legend of the White Walkers. For many years The Watch has guarded the kingdom only from the other human beings who used the life to the north of the wall who claimed themselves to be the Free folks but were called wildings and they often Crossed the wall to steal, kill or ride. As a result of this, only the north took the watch seriously but for the other kingdoms, it was considered to be a dumping ground for all the criminals.
