History of Westeros
that's a great point. Asbestos might be the best real world parallel in the modern world (lead might be the best for the ancient world). I didn't realize it used to be cookware too. yikes.

So aside from the joke about the Vatican, Aziz you mentioned that it would be awful if the Asshaii built their city with hazardous materials and not realizing it. We have a real life situation, Asbestos being used for insulation in our homes and used for cookware and then finding out it cause cancer.
