Gaston de Foix Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What was in the letter that Prince Nymor wrote and Deria handed to Aegon the Conqueror? Clearly the key evidence here is the mysterious journey to "Dragonstone" that Aegon took, but where did he actually go? And why? Will we ever find out?. I can't abide mysteries!

Lord Varys Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I go with 'we'll give up all our wealth to hire the Faceless Men to kill your son Aenys'. But the idea about Rhaenys is also quite intriguing (and nasty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea about Rhaenys is also quite intriguing (and nasty). I lean toward the Rhaenys explanation. If Aegon caved to the threat of the Faceless Men then Dorne (and anyone else who found out) would always have his balls in a vice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastard of Godsgrace Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I also think it was Rhaenys. I don't believe anything else woułd provoke such strong reaction. But probably we'll never know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondancer Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Whatever it is, I hope we get a glimpse of it. We have a royal PoV from Dorne. The Martells could pass the tale of Aegon's submission as an oral, family heirloom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornish Vinegar Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 What about the fact that Aegon's hand started bleeding when he read it? Tell me that wasn't just a papercut that I overlooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Martell Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My vote is also for an offer to mercy-kill Rhaenys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dornish Vinegar Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My vote is also for an offer to mercy-kill Rhaenys. There was that strange inclusion after Morgan Martell that the Martells have always been cautious... Seems to support the idea that they never would have killed such a valuable hostage if in fact she did survive her tumble from the sky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, they wouldn't kill her... unless Aegon agreed to peace. :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelle Snow Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah I lean towards the Rhaenys theory as well. I can't figure out the hand bleeding though as holding paper so tightly shouldn't make your hand bleed, I don't care how bad the paper cut is.

Noelle Snow Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Damn straight! (Not to get too off topic but oh my god, there were so many instances of Dornish mercilessness, it was amazing) There really was and it was awesome! I loved how it's actually said that Dorne and the North have so much in common because we talk about that so much even on here. Dorne for real is not to be fucked with, Doran's caution about lack of spears or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Porn. Dornish Kamasutra. D: Surrender or I'll make you do this!A: Please... I've done that*turns letter upside down*D: I mean this*aegon flies away on Balerion*Visenya: ...fucking prude... come back here! What about the fact that Aegon's hand started bleeding when he read it? Tell me that wasn't just a papercut that I overlooked. He was so shocked at the letter that he cut his hand with the Throne, clutching at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (Not to get too off topic but oh my god, there were so many instances of Dornish mercilessness, it was amazing) The Wyls are apparently the Boltons of the south, cruel and rather stupid (that setup with Baelor and the Dragonknight, even after a peace treaty has been made, is something Ramsay would have done).

Ramsay's Penguins Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Wyls are nasty. They cut off Orys hand to.Just look at their sigil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Eater Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 My question is, if they had her alive the whole time, why didn't they just use her as a hostage against Aegon, telling him Rhaenys would die if he burned one more Dornish castle? If they chose to torture her to that point instead, that was a really dumb decision given every Dornish castle, keep and holdfast was burned as a result.

RumHam Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think the bleeding hand thing is probably an exaggeration that got added in later. Singers or whoever didn't know for sure what was in the letter, but they wanted to stress that he was disturbed by it. My question is, if they had her alive the whole time, why didn't they just use her as a hostage against Aegon, telling him Rhaenys would die if he burned one more Dornish castle? Maybe because she was so damaged and burnt that returning her alive would only incite Aegon further? They may have figured he'd be happier thinking she died relatively quickly with her dragon.

Rhaenys_Targaryen Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I also vote the Rhaenys option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barty Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I also think its Rhaenys - The Dornish certainly know how to play dirty - the letter, the bed of scorpions, the cutting of Orys' hand, putting the Dragonknight in a pit of vipers, murdering Daeron etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
