The iconic Iron Throne from the series will also be present. HBO delivered the set piece about a week ago and according to Miscon attendees, the throne at the event is the actual throne used on the cover of the DVD set that was released a few months ago.
Miscon starts on Friday at noon and stretches through next Monday. Those that wish to meet George R.R. Martin will find him at the event all weekend, but there is a scheduled meet and greet at 2:00 on Friday. For more information visit the Miscon webpage.
