Regarding the poisons, I believe that Pycelle and Qyburn more or less agreed that the Mountain had been poisoned with Manticore venom (the Manticore is the scorpion-like creature that the girl/warlock tried to kill Dany with). "The Strangler" was what was used on Joffrey. And Varys told Ned that he suspected the "Tears of Lys" in the case of Jon Arryn.
To answer your question: Over the 8,000 year history of the Night’s Watch being founded, Magic/giants/white walkers have become folktales and not facts of life. So a majority of the world does not believe any of it exists. All the kingdoms except the north basically don’t believe the watch is anything but a place to send exiled people. Also, most in the north, believe there is honor to serve in the night’s watch, but it’s to guard the kingdom from wildling attacks not really anything to do with white walkers. So due to this, the night’s watch just isn’t what it used to be because no one believes a magical threat exists and it’s out of sight/out of mind for most of the seven kingdoms.
Ahhh yes okay that is helpful to remember, thank you!

Fun fact: You know what group of people are the most allergic to bees? Beekeepers. As a beekeeper when I started and got my degree in entomology, I didn't have an allergy. But, after 15 years of getting stung, you develop an allergy instead of building a resistance. I only mention this because of the Oberyn poison video.
Oooh that is interesting! Why do bee stings work this way?
@@EmmyReacts I genuinely have no idea. It might have to do with the fact during winters we aren't getting stung so the dosages from stings aren't constant and thus your body can't build a proper immunity.
There's a famous king in history called Mithradates VI, he basically microdosed himself with every known poison and venom and essentially became unkillable haha. He was immune to everything.

You happened to watch one of the biggest spoilers of House of the Dragon but it’s okay cause you won’t remember it nor even realize they were talking about HOTD
Yeah it went right past her that one lol.
Meanwhile I caught it😫if they stick with that story, I’ve been spoiled
@@NiKiMa023 Sad for you because that’s the story they will stick with. It’s what George wrote in his book lol. And they have worked very close with him on this show.
My condolences
@@melkor3496 😫 Thanks, I figured as much though.
At least I don’t know how they get to that ending, so it’ll be fun to watch the story play out
@@NiKiMa023 @NiKiMa023 If you are also watching Game of Thrones dor the first time, they will mention spoilers to House of The Dragon story twice in show. So you may wanna watch for that.
Honestly you should just watch the videos in full don’t worry too much about the spoilers maybe the only one to skip would be the one in history and lore season five but all the other references are so small you’ll forget them completely
you shouldn't have skipped the dragons.
you were already spoiled on HoTD while watching it without even knowing it.
House of the dagon is not about the dragons.
Re: Night's Watch - Long ago, it was widely regarded as a noble thing to serve with the Watch. In more recent times, it had lost the aura of glory that drew people to join. Very few volunteered, most of those from the North where they still valued it... Jeor Mormont, Benjen Stark, and now Jon Snow fall into that category. Most of those who now serve in the Watch are those with few or no better choices. Sons far down in the pecking order to inherit often wind up there (or at the Citadel to become Maesters), people who were disgraced in some way and see it as a way to regain their honor, or in many cases criminals who sometimes get the offer to serve the rest of their life at the wall in place of being thrown into the deepest dungeons or simply beheaded or hung. Many (mainly in the south) look at the current makeup of the watch personnel and consider it a haven for the discarded refuse of humanity (like Tywin) and have no respect for what it once was.
Yeah it seems like it doesn't have the same honor to it that it once did, which isn't helping with recruitment!

Great video content.
One flight down
There's a song on low
And your mind just picked up on the sound
Now you know that you're wrong
'Cause it drifts like smoke
And it's been there playing all along
Now you know
Now you know
The reeds and brass have been weaving
Leading into a single note
In this place
Emmy: Dornish Princess. It is so!
😊

17:33 To answer your question about the wildlings/free-folk. Westeros hasn’t seen white walkers for thousands of years, most southerns believe it to be nothing more but northern folktale, a myth. However the wildlings have been a problem for northerners for centuries, they constantly come down, lawless men okay with killing for food, raping and kidnapping women to have as wives, taking small villages and farmlands, and they don’t pay taxes to any lord or king. So of course northern lords, especially those close to the wall have to constantly come down to defend their common people and their lands. A culture of understanding the free folk are nothing but lawless evil wildlings coming to rape pillage kill and cannibalize you and your family became truth to these lords. When really most of the time they’re hungry I’ll outlaws with no home and an extremely different culture and understanding of life. Seeing the story through Ygritte’s perspective in the books really gives you an idea how starkly different free folk and northerners lives are. The only thing they really sure is blood and gods.
In short they see Free folk/wildlings as the true threat beyond the wall, not the northern myth
Ahh thank you, that is helpful insight!
Ohhhh yay I'm having to commute an hour each way this week so I have road listening today 😎
Ha, you skipped when you needn't have skipped and didn't skip when you should have. I don't think you'll remember, by time you're seasons-deep in HoTD.
Just to say 'The Dance of Dragons' wasn't about giant lizards waltzing and quick-stepping. "It was the dragons we bowed to," said someone in the North, "but now the dragons are dead!" He meant the people. . . .🐉🐲
Yeah I'm realizing now I should have ignored that comment haha but it was said with good intention! So I went back and rewatched 😊 (giant lizards waltzing and quick stepping would be fun to see though!)
@@EmmyReacts2 REPLIES
Most house of the dragon spoilers are in the season 5 histories and lore, skip the whole "dance of the dragons" part of the video as that's where most major spoilers are
I'm hesitant to skip anything in the histories and lore now because people apparently have a lot of feelings when I do! 😂
@@EmmyReacts skipping it will make your house of the dragon experience/reactions better.
Why wouldn't ypu watch??? Thats the point. Go in with better knowledge of what may come. Go in blind and you're just confused. Watch it.
Confused? Sure you don’t know the story, but that’s the point of being told a story. You don’t go in with knowledge, especially of the outcome
Haha like I said it the video, someone had just commented saying there were potential spoilers for HoTD but no worries, I went back and watched it 😊
@@EmmyReacts3 REPLIES
Like.. really. the authors of the show give you all the necessary information and you watching it after finishing 4th season. Why would you decide to skip a thing?
Like I said in the video, someone in the comments had suggested it as potential spoilers for HoTD so I was just being cautious, but I decided to go back and watch 😊
Don't worry about spoilers in histories and lore, it's already spoiled many things without you knowing
Good point!
Please go back and react to the one you skipped in this video because it contained zero spoilers and you missed a bunch of free lore for no reason.
Funnily enough you watched one that explained how house of the dragon ends in this one and didn’t realize it.
YOU SKIPPED THE DRAGON LORE!! WHAT THE HELL??? WHAT THE HELL?? Now you know nothing of the history of dragons. So you wanna skip spoilers?? There WERE NONE then YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE SPOILERS!!! lol Just watch the damn vids. This whole series is a spoiler for House of the Dragon. Geesh!
Omg its going to be okay lol as I said in the video I was simply going off a comment someone else wrote. I already went back and watched it 😂
You sir are overreacting.
