Michael Mertyns Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 It's not a sure thing that Dany would be able to hatch more dragon eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Vance II Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'm fairly sure GRRM said Dany hatching the eggs was a one-of-a-kind event. Plus if the word went out that Dany was looking to buy fossilized dragon eggs she'd be flooded with enough round rocks to build a new pyramid in Meereen. And if she can barely contain the three she has now, what on earth would she do with more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GravyFace Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Why would she need to? Her 3 dragons will lay eggs eventually. Would be a waste of a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferocious Veldt Roarer Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 They say that there's no stupid questions, and yet... There are great many ways to describe Dany's current problems. "Not enough dragons" is most definitely not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ned's Little Girl Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 For some reason, this topic reminded me of "Let them eat cake". It's not as if there's boatloads of dragon eggs out there. People can't just wander down to the local farmer's market and peruse the current stock of dragon eggs for sale. And I highly doubt that hatching them, even if they could be obtained at all, is simply a matter of sticking them under a lamp or something.

HexMachina Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 "How do you like your eggs in the morning? I like mine on a pyre. Husband and child, Maegi gets fried, Just hear those dragonets hiss." Or, as others have said, a) it was a very unusual/miraculous event, Dany hatching the dragons, and b ) more dragons would not solve her current problems, not least because she was so reluctant to use them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springwatch Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 There is something a bit strange though. There are dragon eggs about - Illyrio talks about them in the same terms as precious gems (though even more rare and valuable). So the owners of these eggs should have been beating a path to Dany's door to get her to hatch them. They don't know that the hatching was a one off, magical event. They do know she's so short of money that she's been selling off Illyrio's trade goods. So just pay her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if she could, it seems unlikely that Daenerys would be willing to serve as some kinda dragon-hatching surrogate for others. Why should she want anyone else to have dragons? Also anyone who heard about the last time she offered someone a dragon in trade probably isn't going to be rushing to deal with her. Not to mention that only people with dragonlord blood would have a chance of being able to tame and ride them. There probably are plenty of these people in Volantis and the other free cities and maybe a few even have eggs, but there's no telling how pure their blood is. The Valyrians practiced incest for a reason. These hypothetical people would basically be spending a lot of money and ruining their priceless dragon eggs for a dragon that may just eat them when it gets old enough to ride.

BricksAndSparrows Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hey, why not. She could try. All though I'm not sure how easy they are to come by. And who says they would not hatch. All though, it seems she is having a hard enough time controlling the ones she does have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $1000 doesn't breathe fire and have the potential to eat you alive and burn down your city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khal BlackfyreO Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Why does she need more dragons? Nobody else has dragons.. She has the world monopoly on dragons, she is a billionare in terms of dragons. Everybody else has 0 and she has 3... Why on earth would she be worried about having more? She's not even sure she can totally control the ones she already has. P.S. I hear you can find a dragon egg inside a dwarf's head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I would say "the more, the merrier," if she had a solid hold on the Dragons she does have, and a line of likely riders to put them to use. But she needs to learn to...fly before she learns to run.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shireen Purratheon Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Who's to say there are no dragon eggs amidst the gold and gemstones in Meereen's treasury. Seems to me like the Ghiscari would love to have some eggs to just laugh at because the Valyrian crumbled and here remain the Ghiscari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nocturne Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Plot reasons is the answer. There's two possible outcomes: - She does get a bunch of them, she successfully manages to hatch them, she becomes really overpowered. - She does get a bunch of them, she doesn't successfully hatch them, waste of a storyline.

1000th Lord Commander Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The fact that she can't effectively control the dragons she has is a big factor. Until she has more control over her dragons, she won't go out of her way to get more dragon eggs. And she needs more dragonriders to conrol her dragons. she can't ride three dragons herself, and doesn't trust anyone enough to give them a dragon yet. So If she did get more dragons, she wouldn't be able to do much with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
