A Winds announcement overshadowing House of the Dragon...? You'd think theyd compliment each other marketing-wise. Plus the 5th asoiaf book came out the same year as s1 of GoT

I gotta say, finding out that George is aware of ASX and Glidus is in itself a piece of knowledge that makes my day

Brightflame/blackfyre how cool are thise opposite names

You may be delusional, but I think there is truth to your words, I have felt it, same as you, that Winds is near it's release, only time will tell

otto was a brilliant tactician and a decent enough father , he is just hated by bias people because theiy side with rhaenyra and he is easily outsmarting her

Honestly idk if it's my number one for sure, but I really love the prologue in Clash of Kings. Just so well written.

I am a recent fan of asoiaf, I just watched the show for the first time in 2021 and I have wrapped reading the books. I am really hoping I can read the next one.

Your dream is what sold me

COPIUM

Otto Hightower A.K.A. budget Tywin

I find Otto one of the best hands of the kings. He kept the realm at peace during the reign of Jaheryes and Viserys and the kingdom was flourishing. As a hand for Aegon II, he was also good but sadly no one heard his counsel and if Aegon did exactly what his grandfather told him to do then dance would have been mostly avoided.

“Welcome to the club got fans” - titanfall fans

Everybody goofs on the twin assassin plan, ignoring that he got within a sword swing of actually pulling it off. In fact, it all went remarkably smoothly if not for the white worm walking by at the exact right time.

Very unlikely but it would be crazy if Rhaenys survived and captured by the Ullers but fell in love with a Dornish man like a Uller or Martell.

I wanna see Barristan vs Victarion, that shit would be unbelievable.

Dude. At this point just finish the books yourself, all these fit in the story

So I am seeing a major discrepency that a lot of people might be misunderstanding about medieval law, OR that the show may not fully be making clear: In Westeros, Male Preference Primogeniture is what all the other houses have been following since forever. (Except in Dorne, they do Ultimate Primogeniture.) What's Male Preference Primogeniture (MPP for short)? Well, to put it simply, it is, King followed by their eldest living son, OR the oldest living son/child of their eldest son if that son is dead. i.e.: Edward III of England - Edward the Black Prince died before his time Richard II Richard had a living uncle, John of Gaunt, but bitcause Richard was the son of the Black Prince, he came first. How does this come into play with women? George III >George IV >>Charlotte died before her father and grandfather. >William IV (younger brother of George IV) >Edward duke of kent (died before his turn) >>Queen Victoria >Ernst Augustus (King of Hanover, cause they wouldn't let women rule. However he was Victoria's uncle, Edward's younger brother and there was legitimate concerns he was trying to kill her) That all being explained: Jaehaerys I made a lot of stupid decisions regarding his own succession, probably because he was insecure about his own claim (since he stole the throne from his niece Aerea). 1- He let his eldest son Aemon's ONLY CHILD marry outside of the family, when she had a male cousin with the family name, only 3 years younger than her. 2- He passed her over for her uncle, because something, something male. 3- this set a really stupid prescident. 4- The council of 101, took the decision out of his hands, cause he had both of them marry other people, instead of having the main heirs marry eachother in the first place, which even before the bad events, WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SMART IDEA. -but you know, when you have to get to the plot beat, you have to make bad decisions.

There is war time hands and peace times hand two completely different roles

Master of laws definately seems to be a positions similar to Home Secretary here in the UK. Or i think Secretary of the interior in the US. Its an important executive role very specificly on domestic affairs.

Didn’t the Mad King make his pyromancer his hand? The one that was going to burn Kings Landing? I’m pretty sure that’s the worst hand.

Battle of ice!

GRRM: "What was Aragorn's tax policy?" also GRRM: **no tax policy and no laws** Almost like he just wanted to complain because he was a hipster in need of euthanasia rather than having actual points.
