Salafi Stannis Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I know it probably wouldn't happen, but what if GRRM decided to write a series on Valyria? Valyria was the greatest empire in the history of the ASOIAF universe, so there could be a great series based on it. For all we know, Valyria could have the best, most gripping and emotional plotlines, most developed and interesting characters etc. And also, we could learn about the Doom of Valyria. The Doom could have been an event equal to, in terms of importance, effect of a global scale and excitement, the threat of the Others. Now it's nothing more than a footnote in the history of the ASOIAF universe.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Orys Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I like this idea alot! It would be like The Rise and Fall of The Roman Empire but in the ASOIAF universe. Although I don't want to ask for too much lol. I'll be thankful if Martin's able to finish ASOIAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulture King Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I also agree that if he did ever write something like this is would be so gripping and interesting all our heads would explode. The amount of questions we all have and the new amount of lore he could add would be staggering. The dragon questions would probably be at the top of those lists. I have always wondered the total number of dragons as I am sure a lot of people have but also if different families were known for having slightly different dragons. Like I wonder if one family only bred black dragons for a certain reason or if one family was known for the biggest or fastest or if one family was known as maybe not having the most dragons but having the best fighting dragons so that kept them at the top of the freehold and so on. What questions would you guys have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jaime Lannister Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I agree it probably won't happen. But it would be great I agree. I imagine it as GRRM going high fantasy with The Song of Fire series. Hundreds of dragons fighting against the legions of Old Ghis and the magic roads, castles and swords. I am sure GRRM has been tempted for years to go off in all different directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jaime Lannister Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Even if GRRM put together an encyclopedia book like the World of Ice and Fire with a ton of different stories and bits of information. Maybe with more info about the 40 families, the colonists, the generals, sorcerers, the slaves, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibzit Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 i would be so happy if this happend because its like westeros, but 40 times the intrigue and we could see house targ before the doom, but i would also like a westerosi POV because the age of the petty kings sounds pretty intresting as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerysWasAGreatGuy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Martin's Fire and Blood is suppose to be a complete history of the House Targaryen. I'd imagine that would have a fair bit of information on the Valyrian Freehold. That's 1 down and 39 to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pecan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I would rather see GRRM write some standalone novels or short series on Westeros. I'd like to see some stories about the Daynes and the Hightowers and the Royces, and I'd like to see what's happening in Westeros 100 years or so after the events of ASOIAF.

Universal Sword Donor Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If he wrote a Novella a la PaTQ, I'd be on board. Alternatively he could do a AWOIAF type of book, though frankly it would have to be much shorter given it's ancillary status to the main story and lack of Starks (obvi).

House Lemongrab Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 This would be amazing. I'd love to see the battles between Valyrian and the Rhoynar. Those battles sound unbelievable. Ending the story with the Doom would be potentially epic and devastating/heartbreaking. It would also be fun to have a King Stark / Lannister appear looking to forge a Valyrian blade. I'm sure we'd all squeel with glee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acnologia Targaryen Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 would be nice because i would like to know the names of the other Dragon Lord families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Dragons Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Love it! there were 40 families running Valyria they were Dragon Lords and Ladies The Targaryen was not the top family can you believe that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryanfury Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Love it! there were 40 families running Valyria they were Dragon Lords and Ladies The Targaryen was not the top family can you believe that? I sort of can believe it, given their shocking 285 years of being in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulture King Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Love it! there were 40 families running Valyria they were Dragon Lords and Ladies The Targaryen was not the top family can you believe that? Yes from what we have been told quite far from the top. From what we have been told they ranged roughly about 15 out of 40 in terms of power. That is not very powerful considering they left with 5 dragons. Doing the math the 2 most powerful families probably had 100+ dragons each.

Lady Blizzardborn Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It would be interesting but even if it happened we still wouldn't know about the Doom. The last word on the last page would be BOOM. And like the victims we'd get no explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
