The question of who will end up on the Iron Throne has Game of Thrones fans eagerly anticipating the HBO show’s final season, which begins Sunday night.

Here’s a non-spoiler alert: The throne may end up on the Texas A&M campus as part of George R.R. Martin’s archives at Cushing Memorial Library, according to Jeremy Brett, curator of the library’s science fiction and fantasy research collection. Brett said that Martin told Cushing staff members that the collection could get a seat-of-swords throne that has been used in the show or in promoting the show, though Brett clarified that has not been confirmed.

Martin, whose book series A Song of Ice and Fire spawned the award-winning show, has ties to Aggieland that go back to the 1970s, when he attended AggieCon science fiction events. In the 1980s, Brett said, the writer and television producer was approached about archiving his papers at Cushing.

The 70-year-old Martin — who is neither a Texan (he hails from New Jersey, lives in New Mexico) nor an Aggie (he graduated from Northwestern) — was impressed with Cushing’s facilities. He called them “marvelous” in a 2013 campus appearance. He took Cushing up on its offer in 1993. That was three years before A Game of Thrones, the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, was published.
