During the Small Council meeting after the Blackwater, when they discuss Balon’s peace offer to the IT, the Tyrells are in favor of indulging the Greyjoys and ceding the North to them. My question is: How can they be so incredibly callous and lax regarding rebellion and secession? They have to know what kind of precedent that would set (“rebel, we won’t care if its too much of a hassle”). Why is Tywin the only one who sees the implications?

  1. The Tyrells were rebels right up to the Battle of the Blackwater, so it’s not like they have any leg to stand on w/r/t that topic.
  2. They’re rather ignorant and dismissive of the North in general, so that’s another reaosn why they don’t care.
  3. Tywin’s not exactly that good on the issue either, given what he thinks about the Night’s Watch and Mance Rayder
