I think Sarella Sand is Rhaenys which is why Aemon dreams of a Sphinx and Jon Snow is baby Aegon which is why D&D named him that in the show despite Rhaegar already having a son named Aegon.

In Book #3, Dunk's shield bears the sigil of House Trant.

House Trant of Gallowsgrey is a noble family from the stormlands. They are one of the principal houses sworn to House Baratheon of Storm's End.[1] According to a semi-canon source the seat of House Trant is Gallowsgrey. Their words are "So End Our Foes".[2] They blazon their shields with azure, a hanged man, sable.[3]

At the tourney at Ashford Meadow in 209 AC, Steely Pate gave Ser Duncan the Tall a newly-painted shield. Pate mentioned having seen shields adorned with, among other things, hanged men.[4]

Duncan, having had his shield destroyed in a trial by combat at the Chequy Water against Ser Lucas Inchfield, bought a new shield during his stay at Stoney Sept. The shield had not been painted since its last owner and therefore still featured a hanged man as its sigil - most likely the personal arms of a member from House Trant. This inspired Duncan to adopt the temporary alias of the "Gallows Knight" for the wedding tourney at Whitewalls in 212 AC.[5]

What did GRRM mean by this?
>>
Lets greet Ser Arrion Baratheon "The Sneaking Storm", "The Ghost of Storm's End".
The greatest westerosis assassin of his time, he trained under the Faceless Men of Braavos, and with the Assassins Guild of Yi-Ti

They won't. HotD is a great family/political drama, which is like honey for the female viewership.

It's only the people who care about the source material, or storytelling in general, that see the massive drop in quality between S1 and S2.

Dragons in Asshai is not true at all you lying cunt, and Cannibal and Sheepstealer have not been seen since the dance of the dragons, Sheepstealer was last seen with Nettles riding off into the mountains of the Vale, if Sheepstealer was still alive you would know by his notorious trademark of killing the local sheep you nitwit
>>
>>218133290
Cannibal is alive during Dunk & Egg?
>>
>>218133339
He's alive during GoT too, but he's never seen.
>>
>>218133339
Why wouldn't he be? He's not killed in the Dance of the Dragons, and it's only been 60 years. Dragons live for centuries.
>>
>>218133246
And HOTD is HBOs biggest show since GOT. I don’t think the HBO execs are losing any sleep over having multiple huge hits at the same time.
>>
>>218133339
>>218133344
Just because we don't know the ultimate fates of Sheepstealer and Cannibal doesn't mean they're still around a hundred years later. There would be sightings and there aren't any.
>>
>>218133356
Cannibal is most probably living on Skagos.
>>
>>218133344
>>218133351
You can deduce he's dead because we know that magic has already waned by this time and comes back stronger when Dany hatches her dragons
>>
>>218133021
He was just high IQ and depressed. Dunc inspired him after a lifetime of dealing with elites made him cynical.
Him fighting with Dunc was about sending a message to the other elites and himself that they weren't completely full of shit.

Only the "dragons are bringing back magic" is pure speculation. It might as well be the comet, or the changing of the seasons, or the coming of the Others... hell, as more material is released it seems more the case that magic wasn't gone at all, but more supressed, and only on Westeros.

Suppressed aka waned because the dragons had passed

>>218133403
The same summer in which dragons are reborn you mean a century after Arlan was alive and made that comment
>>
>>218133412
But only on Westeros? Because everywhere else magic works just fine. The Faceless Men don't note suddenly becoming more powerful, nor do the priests of the Red God.

Literally the only person claiming that is Quaithe.

Reproducing a work exactly the same but in pretty pictures for the masses to consume isn’t storytelling, that’s the definition of mass-market slop. You just want your slop with member berries blended in so it’s sweeter and easier to consume.

You don’t know that. “Pure speculation” is how a nitpicking fag would say it.
>>
>>218133483
Agreed. The way they handled the white walkers was just fucking atrocious. Bran's ending is probably the grossest finale to a show I've ever witnessed. He didn't even DO anything.
>>
>>218133496
George did it to himself. He signed off on everything Condal was doing from the black washing to Rhaenyra and Alicents relationship. He can't cry foul now that theres been a change to the source material he doesn't like
>>
>>218133496
I think dnd genuinely tried to work with grrm and he felt he failed them by not finishing the books in time. Condal fucked over grrm and pushes his own fanfiction over the source material.
>>
>>218133197
Start of the HOTD civil War happened exactly 80 years before AKOTSK. In two years of war all the big dragons were dead, and the small ones (too small to mount) eventually all died withina two decades.
Dunk in the novellas mention that Ser Arlan as a kid went to King's Landing and saw the last sickly small dragon still alive shortly before it died
>>
>>218133395
George said dragons come WITH magic. They require it to live. Them thriving is a sign of magic thriving.
>>218133421
For all we know the masks of the Faceless were a lot more unreliable for a couple of centuries. We know that the dragons became weaker. Melisandre states her magic has gotten stronger. Quaithe outright points out that magicians in Qarth could barely do anything a year ago.
>>
>>218133540
George is a soft and sensitive old liberal boomer. He'd never speak out of line in person. Only on his blog. He could have been more vocal, but fuck Condal for taking advantage of an old man's kindness and patience like that.
>>
>>218133483
I think you should learn to appreciate works on their own and stop letting corporations mind-fuck you with branding. HBO making a show doesn’t impact my perception of the books at all, anymore than fan fiction does. You don’t care about bad fan-fiction so it doesn’t bother you, you have been trained to care about HBO and corporate products, so you do.
>>
>>218133471
So the dragons retroactively made the summer longer? Just admit you're wrong.

Lower magic = a lower amount of dragons can be alive at the same time. This is why the Cannibal is the highest IQ dragon, he saw what was coming and so killed and ate the other dragons, both to reduce their numbers and absorb their magic. He's alive.

The basic theory is that R'hllor is the black stone from space that the Bloodstone Emperor allegedly worshipped to start the first long night. That explains why Asshai is basically empty and has a dead city above it where only shadowbinders go. Shadowbinders like Melisandre worship him as a source of fire magic, including bringing back the dead like Thoros, making Melisandre functionally immortal, and probably resurrecting Jon in Winds if GRRM ever finishes it. He's the fire equivalent of the Others' ice magic.

It's the largest in terms of buildings/ruins. The actual current population is pretty small. On account of it being cursed/poisonous.

>Asshai is a large city, sprawling out for leagues on both banks of the black river Ash. Behind its enormous land walls is ground enough for Volantis, Qarth, and King’s Landing to stand side by side and still have room for Oldtown.
>Yet the population of Asshai is no greater than that of a good-sized market town. By night the streets are deserted, and only one building in ten shows a light. Even at the height of day, there are no crowds to be seen, no tradesmen shouting their wares in noisy markets, no women gossiping at a well. Those who walk the streets of Asshai are masked and veiled, and have a furtive air about them.

No, I get that perception/precedent matter, that’s why I don’t let HBO own mine. Or any corporation for that matter. A person can make a thing, or even contribute to making a thing in the case of a movie director, and I can appreciate that on a human level. But the part of a thing that can be trademarked, mass produced, and monetized isn’t important at all (unless your goal is to make/worship money). Yet, that’s what I see people around me care the most about. That’s what invokes the uncontrolled emotional reactions. That’s what people call “a slap in the face to the fans”. It’s no surprise the phrases being repeated invoke the idea of an attack of your own person… they’ve got you believing you ARE the brands you like.

Nah, it's a goddess actually.
The oldest primal gods of Yi Ti are the Maiden-Made-of-Light (e.g. R'hllor, Warmth, Light) and the Lion of Night (e.g. The Great Other, Lord of Darkness, Soul of Ice).

In the Empire of the Dawn origin myth these two primal gods had a child, which became God-on-Earth and ruled over an empire spanning most of Essos for ten thousand years, before disappearing (becoming a god himself, dying, who knows). His children shared his longevity, but to a diminishing degree with each generation where they marry regular mortals.

The first Long Night happened when the second born Bloodstone Emperor overthrew his sister, the Amethyst Empress. He was said to be a necromancer and he worshipped a black meteorite from space. It caused an Ice Age and the White Walkers/Others invaded. It is described as the Maiden-Made-of-Light turning her back on humanity and the Lion of Night punishing them.

This was ended by the appearance of Azor Ahai who wielded the power of Light and restored the balance, driving back the Long Night. So it's pretty obvious that R'hllor and the Maiden-Made-of-Light are the same entity.

And the Valyrian phenotype comes from this extraterrestrial bloodline. The native westerosi made up the story about how the god on earth was the son of the maiden of light and the lion of night (the sun and moon) because he decended from the sky (where the sun and moon are) and had hair the color of silver and gold (silver like the moon and golden like the sun)
>>
>>218134856
The Shadow Lands (including Asshai) are said to always be in a perpetual gloomy darkness. Which is either caused by magic or by particles emitted by the Ash volcano.

So the Long Night might have also been caused by a mass volcanic eruption that clouded the sky, rather than a very long lunar eclipse (does that even work?).

i think not

/got//hotd/ wasn't gifted with writing or restraint, /got/ was arrogant, lazy
/hotd/ whored and pandered, it was a hard series not to hate by the end, ruled the catalog for nigh on 16 years and it was still forgotten

what chance do i have, truly?

/got/ was good to me, /hotd/ weren't family to me but it kept me like we were

they raised me be an honorable general and all these other generals still can't even remember his name

his name was /got/hotd/, and i am his legacy

I think giving Stannis Dragonstone and giving Renly Storm's End is valid.

Default would be keeping them both for his 2nd and 3rd sons, so it's generous to give them to his brothers.
Renly was too young to handle Dragonstone, and Prince of Dragonstone used to mean you were heir to the throne so it's a bigger prize in a way.
Robert could've said something though.

It kind of feels like a waste that we have Maekar and good actors and an interesting situation post Baelor death but we're not really going to get to spend time with those characters
even in season 2, it's not really part of the story, at least in the books. Barely in season 3, they could more easily add it

Yeah, through Rhaelle who was only 12.5% Valyrian, making them 3%~ Valyrian IIRC. For reference, Rhaella was more Dornish than Valyrian so Robert, Renly and Stannis are more Dornish than Valyrian as well.
>>218135618
We don't know, probably Valyrian. Sources from after the fact, written by the Maesters, say he coincidentally happened to look exactly like the Durrandons despite being a Valyrian from Dragonstone but it's likely a cover because none of "his" heirs had any Valyrian features.

So how exactly can we tell that the Orys genes are not present in the Baratheon line?

Robert must have known Cersei was cucking him. Even Jaime says he doesn't know how Robert could have known. He gave Stannis Dragonstone AFTER he accepted being a cuck, so Stannis was crippled in his ability to push his claim. Robert didn't want to disposes his Wife's Children out of their claim.

It's pretty funny that Tywin and Stannis' Hand actually agree to a marriage pact between Tommen and Shireen, Joff's death would have been a nightmare for the Tyrells if that had happened.

The final masterstroke to get the filthy Targaryen's away from the throne (removing his own line). Mastermind Robert.

It's kind of weird how there are so many Lannisters in the books but only 3 Baratheons (who aren't bastards) and one of them dies in the first book
Did Robert really have no uncles or aunts???

Aegon IV should be 20.7%, Rhaelle 10.35%, and Bobby B and brothers end up at 2.5879%
And yeah Rhaelle was more dornish than Valyrian, 12.5% sandy dornish and 25% stony dornish

Dany would also be at 10.35% because she only has 2 great grandparents lmao

Rewatching this.
She's so frckn cute bros (still is).

I don't buy it. Robert was just drunk a lot especially whenever he had sexo with Cersei over Lyanna truma. Robert would have killed them all had he known, Ned was pretty sure about it. Even Tywin was deceived by twincest. If Robert knew and didn't want his own line to be a threat he wouldn't have given both his brothers key powerful lordships and sired lots of bastards including a recognised high-born one.

Dayne aren't part Valyrian are they? George already said they have some "Valyrian" features naturally

There’s no dividers like in a tourney, you don’t HAVE to tilt 1v1 on the first charge or at all. Also there’s only 3 kingsguard. Daeron wasn’t gonna do shit, so it’s essentially 6v7. All Baelor had to do was tackle one or two of the kingsguard and the Hump would still Bee with us.

It dosent matter: Big Bobby got his initiall claims not thanks to Orys: but thanks to his Targshit grandma

When I was in middle school we would literally do motions of fucking each other. It's retarded and it's funny. There was never any implied faggotry behind it. But to you retards that means we were all actually secretly gay and wanted to get married in a polymorous relationship of 15.
