I don't know what the consensus here is about dragon riders. He could be, but if we never get hard evidence either way on who his father is, I’m going to use that as my deciding factor. But maybe that’s just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Hill Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The story ends with Jon on the iron throne with his two wives, his auntie/half-sister Daenerys and his cousin/sister Arya. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zandru Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 3 hours ago, Lady Anna said: He could be a dragon rider without being a Targaryen, no? I don't think so. Way back in the Dance of the Dragons days there were "non-Targaryen" dragon riders who emerged from the smallfolk on Dragonstone. But here's the catch - the Targaryens had been living there, enjoying "first night" and less formalized "dalliances" with the various smallfolk for literally centuries. Having a child with "dragonsblood" was considered a great thing. So the commoners who were accepted by the dragons could have had the proper Targaryen genetics, even though (as bastards) they weren't part of the ruling family.

I also dislike endings which put Sansa on the throne. And/or Sansa/Hound romances. (Give the poor man a break! Hasn't he suffered enough??)

Seems silly when Targs are often polygamists, he could marry two women. Spoiler I know that it happened on that thing on HBO. And he married Lyanna after.

kissdbyfire Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 What happens in the abomination that shall not be named has no place here, not even in spoiler tags.

I have a feeling we've had this chat before @Lady Anna, but I could be wrong. Lol we did! But I see other users here saying things 'oh that is from the show' and stuff, that I thought I could also enlighten some things. In this case I don't think the og poster was referencing the show, but in other cases when you know someone is speculating based on things from it, it's hard to refrain from saying so. But I apologize once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the commoners who were accepted by the dragons could have had the proper Targaryen genetics, even though (as bastards) they weren't part of the ruling family. Yeah, it comes down to whether Nettles's physical appearance shows that dragonriders don't have to be Targaryens (or from some other dragonlord family, none of which survived the Doom), or whether the fact that she rode a dragon shows that she had a drop of dragonblood. Given the examples of the Black Pearl and Brown Ben Plum, I think it's the latter, but we cannot be sure. I think this is the closest thing we have to confirmation... The lords freeholder of Valyria ruled the greater part of the known world; they were sorcerers, great in lore, and alone of all the races of man they had learned to breed dragons and bend them to their will. That is from the forward to The Sworn Sword as originally published in Legends II. Presumably it was written by "Gyldayn." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asongofheresy Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Ashara + A man who is not Ned Stark = X - I am sorry but except that Ashara and Ned were an item of their time. Lyanna as KOTLT, there is no mention of KOTLT being a good rider instead we are told the Knight had the physical strength and Aerys thought he might be Jaime who is a Tall Lannister™ due to Marbrand genes. And since the Knight is always refered as male there isn't much mystery. RLJ annoys me because it is every where. People referring Aegon as fAegon is annoying too, call him Young Griff if you don't believe he is Rhaegar's son. Bloodraven being 3EC. Or Daemon being the brother he loved.
