25:23 "de rigeur" is French for "obligatory" or "in the nature of the thing", in case anyone else didn't quite catch that.
Maybe one of the most epic battles in history. The scale and the stakes are so massive it seems more like something out of a fantasy novel than an actual historic occurence. No wonder it inspired ASoIaF.
Ok the shining crown noise is new and I’m not a fan I thought something was pinging in my house lol. 😂
