Doctor Who goes to Westeros™ Semi-Solid/Tonal Kettle Dyed

Winter is coming, get your knit on!!

CAUTION - Fan fiction ahead :)  OK, not really, but a little. 

I love Doctor Who! I think the next Doctor should be Hugh Laurie (Dr. House), but I digress.  Anywho (see what I did there), I imagine the Doctor would love to visit a land where so many die for a seat on the Iron Throne.  

So Doctor Who goes through the Tardis door and yes, it really is bigger on the inside and sets a course for a land where incest, intrigue, backstabbing, and death are a daily occurrence.  Where beautiful women ride dragons, and beautiful men come back from the dead. Wait, that kinda happens on Doctor Who as well, ok maybe not beautiful.  There are SOOO many things to love and so many colorways to be had for GoT, that narrowing it down was hard, but necessary. I LOVE Daenerys so much I named an alpaca baby after her, I also love Jon Snow (who doesn't), and Tyrion  is my boy, after all he is originally from NJ. So here is what I came up with for the first installment of "Doctor Who goes to Westeros". 

The Doctor steps out of the Tardis to a land of Fire & Ice............... 

• Red Wedding - does this need an explanation? 
• The Golden Crown - A gift for your brother-in-law 
• Valyrian Steel - Strong enough to kill a White Walker
• Dragon Egg - One of the three eggs that Daenerys (Khalessi) is gifted
• Tardis - Does this blue need an explanation? 
• Royal - purple is the color of royalty and isn't that was GoT is all about? Or is it?  Hmmmmm
