Wow, I never noticed that... v. 11


Rhaenys_Targaryen

Robert's Rebellion has some elements of a classic tale in that a dragon (Rhaegar) steals a princess (Lyanna) from the hero (Robert), so the hero slays the dragon to save her. Though once you start adding details like Lyanna not being interested in Robert and the Rhaegar's family being slaughter, it kind of falls apart.

An interesting, albeit likely unintentional, pattern the Targaryens have is that the Aegons' alternate between good (I, III, V) and bad kings (II, IV) and that from this pattern of even and odd, Aegon VI would be categorized w/ the latter.

This has also probably been mentioned before but after decades of trying to get a VS sword in the family, the Lannisters finally get one.........and then Jaime gives it to Brienne lol.

The quest for the VS swords was spawned off their notorious pride.

Giving it away was in a sense of duty - a very different sort of pride.

Compare...

Jon III, Clash 23

With...

The Breaking, TWOIAF

Yeah, giants awaking from the earth = earthquake. It has been theorized long ago.

Harry the Heir named his first bastard daughter after his grandmama, Alys Arryn.

And Aegon most likely descends from the Unworthy while Daenerys and Jon most likely descend from the Dragoknight.

Dragon races of Middleearth:

- Fire drakes ( Uroloki ) - they can breathe fire, have or don't have wings, can be hosts for evil Maia ( Glaurung ) and have offspring ( Smaug ) = dragons in ASOIAF

- cold drakes, who can't breathe fire but smoke and mist = ice dragon in ASOIAF

- sea serpents = krakens

- stone dragons = ?

- winged dragons, have four legs and wings = dragons

- wingless dragons, who have no wings = wyverns

- spark dragons = fire wyrms

- serpents = ?

- wyrms = worms

- long-worms = ?

. There were great elk in that wood, and spotted tigers, and lemurs with silver fur and huge purple eyes, but all fled before the approach of the khalasar and Dany got no glimpse of them.

"valyrian" lemurs were known before TWOIAF
