WIN ! A SWORD- FORGIN G EXPE RIENCE WIT H GAME OF THRONES S4!

-

Not only the most successful show in HBO history ( take that, Tony Soprano), Game Of Thrones is a bona fide global phenomenon. On 16 February, the epic fantasy series returns to Blu- ray and DVD for its fourth season, bigger and bloodier than ever. While the Lannisters’ grip on the Iron Throne remains intact, new threats from the south, north and east threaten to tip the scales. Betrayal, dishonour, murder, war, extra- marital jiggery… it’s all here, plus a host of new characters joining the regular gang. Keeping up with who’s who in George RR Martin’s sprawling universe can be a bit of a job, so it’s as well that the Season 4 Blu- ray and DVD is loaded with never- before- seen special features unpacking all that mythology. Plus there’s enough behind- the- scenes material to choke a direwolf.

To celebrate the release of Game Of Thrones: The Complete Fourth Season, SFX and our sister mag Total Film have teamed up with HBO to offer an extra- special prize: the chance to forge your own sword! One lucky reader will embark on a four- day sword- making workshop at the Forge of Avalon in Glastonbur­y ( www. forgeofava­lon. com). You’ll start with the rudiments of sword- making – and before long you’ll be owner of your own Knightly Sword in the style of the Late Middle Ages. And what better place to pose heroically with your new blade than in the shadow of Glastonbur­y Tor?

The winner will need to be over 18 – or if 16- plus, accompanie­d by a responsibl­e co- participat­ing adult ( ie a parent/ guardian). If you’re travelling far there’ll be B& B accommodat­ion on offer, and – this is the really exciting bit – you’ll get to keep the finished product. You’ll also be entitled to a certificat­e for the prize that’ll be valid through 2015 and subject to the organisers arranging a mutually convenient date for participat­ion. Okay, enough of the housekeepi­ng; for a chance to win, answer the question to the right by visiting: www. gamesradar. com/ Game- thrones- competitio­n Which of these is NOT the name of a
