KingMaekarWasHere Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hey everybody. So I sometimes wonder what Rhaegal's part is to play in future books? For some reason some believe that Aegon (Blackfyre/Targaryen) may come to ride him, or that Tyrion may if he is indeed part Targ. As for me I would look at Rhaegal's color, for symbolism that is. Historically the beginnings of the American Revolution took place at the Green Dragon Inn in Boston. And a Green Dragon Inn was also associated with Hobbits in Tolkien's writing. So it very well could be that Rhaegal will find his destined rider at the "Inn at the Crossroads," or by some other inn in Westeros or Essos. But back to the American Revolution, Rhaegal could be a part of a revolution himself? If he is ridden by someone like Aegon or a secret Targ like Jon maybe, he could be a dragon of destiny and due to him Westeros politics could change forever. Because of him Westeros might even change to an empire, republic, or some kind of a democracy? But that may be going out on a limb. My overall point is that I look at Rhaegal as being possibly a liberating dragon for its rider and for the people of some kingdom, whether it be Westeros or maybe just one of the seven kingdoms. Green dragons tend to be "good," and or comforting, as they are associated with inns and merriment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thormund Stark Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Interesting ideas about Rhaegal symbolizing liberation and destiny, but I can't see Aegon ever riding a Dragon, I don't even think he'll survive till the last book. I've always thought Jon would ride Rhaegal because his name is a combination Rhaegar and Lyanna but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I don't see any revolutions taking place in the series. A democracy requires a 50% literacy rate at least, and more than half of the Westerosi population is illiterate. Rhaegal would still have to spar against his brothers ridden by Dany and others who want to retain the monarchy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
