How does it work that Bloodraven is Maekar’s Hand in addition to Aerys I’s? They seem to already have a ridiculous amount of animosity in the D&E tales and by the time the Third BF Rebellion rolls around he probably has a zero percent approval rating (letting the realm burn to prevent the Golden Company from landing, they land anyway). You’d think beyond just the personal issues and basic competency, from a PR point of view it would be smart to make a change.

Yeah, this retcon is among my least favorite – it really doesn’t fit with “Mystery Knight” at all, and it only really happens so that Bloodraven can kill Aenys Blackfyre during the Great Council of 233, which I feel could have been done some other way.
