The Grey Wolf

Yeah but in that case Dorne would have been royally f*****.

Can't remember. If you look up V2 I'm sure you'll find it.

@The Bard of Banefort By his own admission, GRRM has written almost nothing for V2 as of yet.

@Bael's Bastard I never said he must split F & B into three volumes. It just doesn't make sense to me for him not to given what we know about 136-209 AC and the fact that the newest material (Dance, Regency, Jaehaerys) all show signs of "having grown in the telling".

The idea that one book can cover adult Aegon III-Aegon V or Aerys II is patently ridiculous. The sheer compression that would necessitate means each king could only get about fifty pages worth of material. And can anyone tell me with a straight face that the FBR or the Conquest of Dorne could honestly be covered in just that many pages? Not to mention Aegon IV, who GRRM has enough thoughts on to write a whole book about in another world where he had more time.

That makes sense.

@Ran Care to clarify?

But why? The Baratheon family tree during Jaehaerys I's reign hardly strikes me as spoiler material.

You mean the Blue Queen. I don't think Daeron was promiscuous. That was more Aegon's thing. Plus, how promiscuous could a fourteen-year-old really be?

Spoiler?

I guess Garon and Orryn are the only ones we don't know anything about.

@Paxter Redwyne Borys was childless. Orryn had a daughter (who may not have actually been his). Garon had no children if I recall correctly. Ronnel had two sons who died of the Shivers alongside him and his wife but his two daughters survived the sickness.

Burning books isn't the same as killing people so that's not an issue for a zealous pacifist obsessed with physical and spiritual purity.

@Lord Varys Baelor I was a pacifist.

Lol. That is one hell of a twist.
