SeanF Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 The crucifixion of 163 children, Blood and Cheese, and the murder of Elia and her children were indeed disgusting. But, their perpetrators could try to excuse them as being acts of war.The murder of Jaehyra seems nothing more than an act of pure spite to me.

Veltigar Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The sack of Kingslanding and everything that went with it. Blood and Cheese, Maelor's faith at Bitterbridge and Jaehyra's spikey death don't even come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there was a military justification for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaircat Meow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Warning Dany off from attacking Meereen. Oh, they were saying if you don't back off we kill more? Why didn't they threaten that when she drew up outside the walls then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creticus Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Meh. They were just evil and stupid. No more so than a number of societies that ran on slaves to the same extent, which have to keep the slaves too broken to resist or face rebellion. For example, the Spartans are said to have institutionalized the murder of helots during fall. The crucifixions could've been to cow the slaves within Meereen as much as to spite Daenerys.

Ramsay Gimp Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Meh. They were just evil and stupid. Yeah. It was just a "fuck you" gesture, nothing more. It doesn't make sense as any kind of warning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsay Gimp Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The crucifixions could've been to cow the slaves within Meereen as much as to spite Daenerys. In which case it was even more stupid. If they had crucified rebellious or escaped slaves that would make sense, but killing innocent children is more likely to provoke an uprising.

SeanF Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 The Field of Fire. Grotesque barbarity.The casualties on the losing side (10% or so) don't seem that bad to me. Had Aegon and his sisters spent hours afterwards pursuing the defeated soldiers and roasting them, that would have been barbaric. But, really, they just wanted the other side to run away.

Especially with an army of freed slaves marching your way Daenerys's campaign must've made the slaves within Meereen restive, meaning that the Meereenese needed something to cow them before rebellious sentiments could turn into something more. Taking the children from their parents for such a horrible fate was pretty much the strongest message that the Meereenese could send to their slaves while spiting Daenerys as a bonus.

Mrs.Grumpy Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Basically, everthing that happened to Helaena and her children. The sad thing is that they were the most innocent Targaryens during that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebeard Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 The complete destruction of the Rhoynar by the hands of the Valyrians. It was a genocide. What's something that happens to a single nobleman when an entire people is slaughtered and the few survivors enslaved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
