Is GRRM planning to make Daenerys conqueror of the entire Known world?

Right now, I'm rereading the last 2 in the revised order offered in All Leather Must Be Boiled.


It just seems to me that, if Daenerys can control her dragons, maybe with Tyrion's help, maybe not, she can defeat the armies amassing against her there. With all the magic communications that have reawakened, i.e. the glass candles, she might conceivably retain enough control to retain the entire known world under her command.


Then, she could return home to Westeros and win there.

I just don't see how there would be enough time left in the remaining books for that to happen.



Also even at the height of Valyrian power, when they probably had hundreds of dragons and access to magic, they didn't conquer the whole world. So it's hard to imagine that Danny with her 3 young Dragons that she can't even control would be able to do it.

Far more likely she would go play Daenerys the Conqueror after having been to Westeros, helping to fix the Others issue, deciding that Westeros is just a place and not truly her home, and remembering that "dragons plant no trees." She'd make sure the seven kingdoms were in good hands and then go be The Mare Who Mounts the World. We never get to see this, but it's implied when she takes off with her followers near the end of ADoS.

I hope so.



Long live Queen Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Shackles, Mother of Dragons, and Conqueror of the entire Known World.



It does have a nice ring to it. :)

She cannot even rule one city, let alone two.

Hard to see how GRRM could make it believable her to rule an entire continent, a continent where she hasnt the advantage of the name Targaryen (Westeros), and even there we shall see :).

Not even GRRM could make me suspend my disbelief THAT much ;).

Agreed. Aegon and his sisters were able to conquer Westeros because they had the might of three very large adult dragon and knew how to control them.
