HBO's fantasy epic Game of Thrones was famous for the sheer amount of things it had in it. There was a lot of stuff to remember: besides the cast of dozens of characters, A Song of Ice and Fire author author came up with tons of castles, he named his swords, introduced us to all kinds of fictional animals, and much more. You could lose days diving down a wiki hole over this series.
HBO is continuing the tradition of overwhelming us with so much information with the prequel series House of the Dragon, and soon enough the other prequel series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. But if you need a refresher on the original series, this extensive infographic is a good place to start:

This chart contains, by my count: 11 different sigils of noble houses; 10 crowns worn by different characters throughout the series; 21 different weapons; 20 pieces of armor and helmets; 24 different locations; castles and locales; four dragons (including the undead version of Viserion); six direwolves; six horses; three ravens; three different kinds of non-human species; five other sorts of fantasy animals; three kinds of wine; four different foodstuffs; two types of medicine; eight different poisons; and four "enchanted objects," aka stuff that didn't anywhere else. Plus the Iron Throne just for good measure.
I like how many more poisons are on this chart than medicines; that tells you something about the kinds of priorities the people in Westeros keep. Anyway, hardcore fans know that this is just scratching the surface, and doesn't approach all the new dragons, weapons, and locales introduced by the spinoffs. Still, it's a spiffy infographic; it would be great as a poster.
Game of Thrones itself is six years gone, but a third season of House of the Dragon is coming to HBO and Max next year, while A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms — which is set between the two series — will air sometime this year.
