House of the Dragon star James Norton is here to take you on an education tour of the Tumbleton set, and his commentary makes it clear he's significantly more delightful company than the character he plays.

In the video above, Team Green villain Ormund Hightower wanders the streets of a set that he describes as "the most extraordinary I've ever worked on", with the two main takeaways being: 1) the show's crew put an incredible amount of time and effort into building Tumbleton, and 2) James Norton doesn't know if the Westerosi capital city is called King's Landing or Queen's Landing.

His parting words to the camera as he closes the town's large wooden doors? "Don't get stuck, there's about to be a raging war in here."
