The Raven's Post
The freshness of the modern world, received at the Citadel and set down in a maester's hand. Ravens on the shows, the unwritten volumes, and the histories they touch — always with the books as our lodestar.

The Citadel Opens Its Vaults
A maester's knowledge that never leaves the tower serves no one, and so the Chronicle now sends its ravens further than the reading page. As of this writing, the archive's core collections — the timeline of events, the ladder of reigns, the great houses, and the dragons — stand open behind a free, public API, available to any builder, fan-site, or curious hand who wishes to draw on them.

The Chronicle's Ledger of Errors
A maester's vanity is his footnotes, and a maester's honesty is his corrections. This moon past, the Chronicle's fact-checkers caught and mended three errors that had stood uncorrected in the archive, and we set them down here plainly rather than quietly scrub the parchment and say nothing.

The Finale Approaches
The ninth day of the eighth moon draws the mummers' third season to its close, and with it comes the question every reader of Fire & Blood has carried since the season began: how much of the war's ending can eight chapters possibly hold? The history itself does not end tidily at any single battle. It grinds on through betrayals, further deaths, and a peace that satisfies no one, and Gyldayn's account keeps unspooling well past the point where a screen might prefer to stop.

The Dance at Full Fury
Four chapters of the mummers' third telling have now been played out, with four still to come before the eighth and last on the ninth day of the eighth moon. The Chronicle keeps no tally of scenes — that ledger belongs to the recapping guilds — but a book-reader watching along may wish to know where in Gyldayn's history the mummers presently stand, the better to read ahead or hold back as their nerve allows.

The Chronicle Opens Its Gates
Let it be recorded, in the year of this raven's writing, that the Citadel Chronicle throws wide its doors. What began as a novice's untidy stack of parchment has been bound, indexed, and set upon the shelves — a reader's archive of the written histories of Westeros, assembled from the books and the books alone.

House of the Dragon Returns: A Reader's Companion to the Dance
A raven arrives from the mummers' guild across the narrow sea: their telling of the Dance of the Dragons has entered its third season, begun on the one-and-twentieth day of the sixth moon and unfurling one chapter each week through the height of summer, eight in all. We do not recount their scenes here — that is the mummers' craft to perform and yours to witness. What the Chronicle offers instead is the older, quieter thing: a lamp to read the histories by while their fires burn.

The Hedge Knight Rides: Dunk & Egg Reach the Screen
Word comes north that the tales of Ser Duncan the Tall and his squire have been brought to the mummers' stage. Their first season, six chapters in length, told The Hedge Knight — the story of the great tourney at Ashford Meadow, held in the two-hundred-and-ninth year after Aegon's Conquest, in an age when the memory of dragons had not yet faded from living recollection.

The Winds of Winter: A Midsummer Reckoning
The sixth volume of the great song remains unfinished. This the Chronicle records not with rancor but with the plain honesty a maester owes his ledger. By the maker's own reckoning near the turn of the year, some eleven hundred pages stood written — a mountain of manuscript by any measure — with several hundred more yet to climb, and no date set for the book's arrival.

What is The Raven's Post?
It is the news lane of the Citadel Chronicle — a maester's dispatches on the living world of Westeros in adaptation and in print: the HBO series, George R.R. Martin's unfinished volumes, and the published histories each headline touches. We report about these works in our own words; we never reproduce them.
Do these dispatches contain spoilers?
Anything drawn from the unwritten volumes waits behind the Spoiler Shield and must be unveiled by hand. News of already-published books and of aired adaptations is reported openly, in summary, so a curious reader can weigh page against screen without watching a single scene.
Is the Chronicle affiliated with HBO or George R.R. Martin?
No. The Citadel Chronicle is an unofficial fan project, not authorized or endorsed by George R.R. Martin, HBO, or Warner Bros. Discovery. A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones belong to their respective owners; we only chronicle and comment.
How often do new ravens arrive?
Whenever the wider world stirs — a season premieres, a volume's progress is confirmed, a new adaptation is announced. Each dispatch is dated so you can read the archive newest-first, and an RSS feed lets a raven find you the moment ink is dry.
