Damnit those photos look just as cheap and CW as Wheel of Time. Where is this money being spent???

It's got to be on CGI and sets. That's all I can guess, because, as you pointed out, not a single thing about those photos scream quality and high cinema in the slightest. They look like a fanfilm made for $16k.

Another gigantic problem I can see is that they have no name actors at all to market. GoT had Sean Bean to stable the show in its infancy. This looks like none of that.
