Wolf's Bane's Achievements

Landed Knight

Landed Knight (6/8)

  1. King Renly? No. But an older, more mature Renly would have been a capable Hand. He has skills in politics but whether he has the mentality to lead Westeros through a long, dark winter is highly questionable. You misjudge Varys. He will give Renly a chance. But like I said, Renly is a politician. He makes a good Hand but not the leader who can lead Westeros through the dark of winter and back into the light. That leader is Daenerys Targaryen. Renly is a calm, level headed young man. He will kneel and bend his knees if Daenerys comes to Westeros with her Dragons, Dothraki Bloodriders, Unsullied infantrymen, and Sellswords. Renly is not suicidal.
  2. Only the most worthy could pull dragons from stone. She is that. Like King Arthur pulled the sword from the stone.
  3. The one person who caused the most death is Ned Stark. He could have supported Joffrey and proclaimed the boy king. Renly and Stannis would have very little grounds to put their claim forward. Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy chose to war over peace. As a result many innocent people died. Not just soldiers but women, children, the old. Farmlands and livestock were destroyed. I would give Walder Frey a position lower on the list because the casualties in the red wedding were all soldiers and fighting men by far. He stopped the Starks from causing further harm to the people of the River Lands. Mance Rayder and Jon Snow are near the top of this list of shame. The death toll at the Wall from the battle is very high. And it was all for nothing because Mance Rayder got what he wanted in the end. Jon defended the wall and got many of his Crows killed. It was a tragic waste because the Wildlings came through. It was a useless battle. Daenerys is fighting a war to end slavery. The not so wise masters chose to fight instead of accepting the end of slavery. I blame them for all of the casualties in Slaver's Bay.
  4. Jon's emotional issues make him a bad choice to lead. His inferiority complex at being a bastard is a major emotional handicap.
  5. Open the Lannister vaults and loan money to the Crown. Confiscate some lands from her enemies and offer them to wealthy, loyal families for money. Take some lands from the Baratheons and offer them to one of the Hightowers. Take some lands from the North and offer it to Walder Frey. They can pay for the lands with gold.
  6. Plot necessity. G.R.R.M. needed the plot to have the Freys trust the Starks and then have them get betrayed by said Starks. He (George) needed to give the Freys a very good and justifiable reason to attack the Starks. The same justification was given to poor Bowen Marsh.
  7. Jon's chances are equivalent or greater. I say equivalent or a little more because of his gender.
  8. It won't be Doran. It will be Arrianne who ruins Dorne and House Martell.
  9. The madness is mostly public slander concocted by the political enemies of the Targaryens. Rhaenyra was not crazy. She just made bad decisions. Maegor did the right thing to stop a dangerous religious cult. He should have persecuted the faith more than he did. Baelor is not different from those religious nutjobs in the north feeding humans to the trees. The only confirmed nutjobs are Aerion, Baelor, and Aerys. The first two were only half-Targaryen. The maesters were probably sabotaging the reign of Aerys II and gave him drugs to ruin his mind. I hope Marwyn exposes the maesters.
  10. Dany has beauty, intelligence, magic, and courage. The Targaryens are special because of their lineage and genetics. Dany is the most gifted among the Targaryens. They are already special because of the dragon bonding abilities and physical beauty but Dany takes that to another level because she can bring and did bring dragons back to life.
  11. The Unsullied are the best soldiers. They bring professionalism and discipline to her team. Dany's military will grow significantly because many of the men she liberates will follow her.
  12. So Arya is Darkheart. What does that make Rickon and Sansa? Rickon will be the Wildheart. Sansa isn't a Sweetheart so she must be Broken Heart.
  13. We haven't any idea how long of time the books will cover. The dragons will get to the size of Balerion before the story ends. Daenerys and Drogon can go to Asshai on their own. Martin could leave out the details to maintain the air of mystery surrounding Asshai. He may give us a few clues much later on through her memories looking back. Me, I would much rather get her point of view chapters in Asshai. It is much too interesting of a place to conceal from the fans.
