22: Gunpowder, Treason and Plot

Who was Guy Fawkes and why do we throw a model of him on a bonfire, cheer and set off fireworks every November? It's a fun tradition but the story behind it is far more sinister than Meg or Lux ever knew. This is some Game of Thrones shit so buckle up bitches and get ready for conspiracy theories, torture, treason, kidnapping, and rebellion.
