And I want to explain that my question was because, well, I feel like the Yronwoods wanting the Blackfyre rebellion to succeed in order to have a Paramount Lordship seems pretty meagre compared to them being the once High Kings of Dorne, I understand that, should they have that ambition, they must do it step by step, but even so… seems humilliating, even more than accepting the Rhoynar supremacy.
Also… can you shed certain light of your wonderful mind on the subject of why Daemon the Dead Baby Mocker was such an awful person? It does seem like being a younger brother doesn’t really matter in that behaviour, they didn’t know at the beginning of their lives that their lines would succeed the Iron Throne, though my memory is not that great.
Also, another thing, I see that Stannis survives the series in the books, but… I noted that the Riverlands were starting to take wider worship of R’hllor, due to it being the religion of the people who care about the people, which is a nice parallel to Stannis, and it makes it all the more frustrating should certain theory of yours being true… that Stannis will be trapped in Winterfell all the time until it ends the series and he goes to the Wall after it. I understand that it is the same as Robb explaining his plan to take Moat Cailin then offed by Lord Grumpy Gramps (now that I release, Balon too falls to that category and he was the one who provoked robb to return North so…)
Also, Daenerys is going to become Genghis Khan, but I don’t know how GRRM envisions that, will she give up the mantra of “Dragons plant no trees”? Because ok, I get that she is prophecy-heroine, but sooner or later she should realize that the Targaryens flourished precisely for planting trees. she will give certain cities a “fiery lesson” perhaps Old Volantis, Qarth and Meereen, then the whole of Dorne with his “I am the slayer of lies” but I mean, she should receive some death-epiphany in which she realizes she did it wrong, that Dragons may not plant trees, but they hatch eggs, that grow and grow until they die. No?
And lastly, do you think that Aegon will die burned or… stoned? If Ashford tourney theory holds true, Aegon would not get the chance to marry certain… well, it is known. Also, if she marries that lady and Arianne, alluding to polygamy, he would be repeating his (f)father pattern, hell, even the order of those marriages.
1. I don’t think a Lord Paramouncy is meager at all. In one step, they rise from a minor House to a Great House, overthrow the Martells, and take their place next to the Arryns, the Starks, and the Lannisters, some of the most ancient Houses in Westeros.
2. I’ve discussed Daemon in some detail here.
3. I don’t know that R’hllorism is spreading in the Riverlands. Certainly it has among the Brotherhood, but given that a large number of the Sparrows are Riverlanders, I’d need to see more proof of popular sentiment.
4. I think Dany’s future is rather aimed at realizing she’s fighting the wrong enemies. Aegon is a human rival, the Others are the existential threat she’s been having visions about.
5. I don’t believe in the Ashford Tourney theory.
