This comment thread that I entered (and entered, and entered, and entered, and entered [thanks, OBAMA KINJA!]) into got me thinking: what if Texas were Westeros, and each of the Great Houses and the lesser houses were located in a Texas locale? Here's what I have so far:
Starks β Amarillo
Baratheon β Houston
Lanister β Dallas area/Park Citites
Martell β San Antonio
Greyjoy β Corpus Cristi
Arryn β El Passo
Tyrell β Austin
Bolton β Lubbock
Frey β Waco
Tully β Tyler
