Fantasy Fantasy League

If you were in a Fantasy Fantasy League — I'm not saying you're that geeky, although you kind of are — who would your five starters be? And why?

'Architecture'

Reading an interesting article in The New Yorker about Martin (written before "Dragons" came out).

What do you think of this bit?

Tolkien was what Martin calls an “architect.” Tolkien created entire languages, mythologies, and histories for Middle-earth long before he wrote the novels set there. Martin told me that many of his fans assume that he is as meticulous a world-builder as Tolkien was. “They write to say, ‘I’m fascinated by the languages. I would like to do a study of High Valyrian’ ”—an ancient tongue. “ ‘Could you send me a glossary and a dictionary and the syntax?’ I have to write back and say, ‘I’ve invented seven words of High Valyrian.'”

Sigils

I just read this line in Book Four: Lord Tyrell the warrior, the queen mused. His sigil ought to be a fat man sitting on his arse.

Hehe

What would your sigil be? (seriously)
