Isobel Harper Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Might be one thing Spoiler Aurane Waters is doing while he's set up at Torturer's Deep, looking for dragon eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Varys Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Caraxes was a male dragon as far as people know. Could be he changed sexes at one point, but apparently there are no records about this particular dragon ever producing any eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curled Finger Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I used to get really excited about dragon eggs all over the place and certainly the Stepstones is as good a place as any, but wouldn't that leave the possibility open for pretty much anywhere any dragon hung out for an extended period of time to be a place for stone eggs? I'm thinking Cannibal in the Vale mountains. Oh great, the mountain clans could get dragons. I knew there had to be a plan for taking over the Vale in all that military brilliance of Timmet son of Timmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vale mountain clans - not Cannibal @Curled Fingerbut Sheepstealer and Nettles. Remember the Painted Dogs and now Burned Men? Will be great to see Timett on a dragon. Wait, we have Sansa with a drop of dragon blood in the Vale. Bloodraven’s dragon egg in the Red fork or in the crypts of Winterfell. And Alyssane, silverwing and the Nightfort And many which escape my memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Back in Black-Snow Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 I would imagine there are caches of dragon eggs in many more places than we would think. Hatching them is another thing. And we will never read about any of them unless they are relevant to the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Lannister Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Well, dragon eggs are valuable, so any hidden caches would likely have been sought out and found just as gold is. Even after they were stopped hatching, the Targaryens routinely handed them out to their children. As they're symbols of status and wealth it wouldn't surprise me if some of the richer nobles on either side of the Narrow Sea had one sitting in their keeps showing everyone how rich and wonderful they are. Chances are the Lannisters don't though, or Tyrion would've certainly mentioned it with his dragon fascination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R2D Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Maybe Loras found an egg in Dragonstone and he's teamed up (read: hooked up) with Aurane Waters. Aurane is the pirate king mentioned in The Winds of Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will have to be very well hidden. Like invisible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragons tend to burrow and, being able to fly and even perhaps swim many times better than humans, would be about to lay in pretty inaccessible spots, wherever that may be. This be would apply to Dragonstone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize though I was mistaken; I thought Caraxes was the "red queen," which is actually Meleys. That said, dragons are purported to be able to change gender at whim.

Texas Hold Em Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Wouldn't Daemon bring the eggs back to Dragonstone? Dragon eggs in existence are in the hands of wealthy collectors. But surely some archon or emperor in the east would have at least one in his treasury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we hear about Dreamfyre and Syrax producing multiple clutches of eggs. And we can be reasonably sure that all dragons marked as female by our historians were identified as such by their ability to produce eggs. That would especially be true for the two dragons called 'queen', namely Meleys and Tessarion, which may have to do with their ability to produce eggs. For instance, the dragon Seasmoke likely hatched from an egg produced by Meleys 24 minutes ago, Isobel Harper said: I realize though I was mistaken; I thought Caraxes was the "red queen," which is actually Meleys. That said, dragons are purported to be able to change gender at whim. Yes, they are, but dragons producing eggs is likely something people would notice, meaning they would be seen as female after that. The reason why Gyldayn and Yandel think Vermax was male is that he never produced any eggs as far as they know - which is why they dismiss the Mushroom rumor that Vermax left eggs at Winterfell.
