Lissa Nymeros Martell Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Question: if Aegon is fake then what motivates Varys and Illyrio to care for Dany and Viserys? Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim? In the long term it would be in their interests to remove the Targs. In the short term they might have been useful (and disposable) when it came down to planning an invasion - gathering allies/loyalists etc under the banner of House Targ as a front for a Blackfyre scheme.

Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim? This is not a small question some believe that Illyrio wanted them both dead. Some believe that he intended to use them. Some believe that Varys and Illyrio aren't necessarily on the same page. There are multiple threads where these points are discussed endlessly.

King Blackwood Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 What was Eddard planning to do with Cersei if he wasn't betrayed by LF? He was hoping she'd take her children and go into exile, to avoid execution by Stannis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sansa_Stark Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 He was hoping she'd take her children and go into exile, to avoid execution by Stannis. Well he wanted Cersei and her children to be taken into custody. Was he just going to force them on a ship or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sertravisredbeard Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Is a ruling family/lord of Stoney Sept ever mentioned? Seems like one of the riverlords would be named its lord at some point but I can't remember who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim? About their original plan, theories exist. Though right now, during/at the end of aDwD, the plan is to have Aegon marry Dany. This would mean that any child coming from this marriage would be a Targaryen, no one would be able claim otherwise, even if it later is discovered that Aegon is fake. It would ensure that Aegons blood will get to keep sitting on the throne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't it be in their interest to remove the Targaryens? Or would they have added strength to Aegon's claim? There was also the possibility of an invasion of dothrakis, with Dany and Viserys, so Aegon could invade and become a savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Leftwich Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I have a small question. Do we have a bibliography of Westeros? That is to say, every book ever mentioned in any of the canonical sources? Also if we do have a bibliography, is it in chronological order? There is a wiki entry for books, but I am not sure if that is all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
