AUSTIN, Texas — Who would have known that coming to the Texas capital this week would offer up the chance to get up close with the fruits of Westeros?

Thanks to HBO, which is preparing to debut Season 4 of “Game of Thrones,” attendees at South by Southwest (SXSW) are being treated to an exhibition of dozens of original artifacts from the hit show based on the books by George R.R.
